How to use Janitor AI without an API Key?

One of the biggest downsides of Janitor AI is that it requires you to bring your own API key (usually from OpenAI or Claude). This can get expensive quickly, costing $5-$20 per month just for chatting.

The Problem with Free Reverse Proxies

Many users look for "Free Reverse Proxies" or "KoboldAI" links to bypass the cost. However, these are often:

• Slow: Shared by thousands of users.
• Unsafe: Your chat data might be logged by the proxy owner.
• Unreliable: They go offline frequently.

The Free Alternative (No Key Needed)

Instead of hunting for API keys, you can use platforms that have their own built-in LLMs.
