05FAQ
Frequently asked questions
See the answers to the questions people ask about how OpenRouter works with Zaira.
You choose a task and Zaira uses supported OpenRouter actions, including model catalog search, to carry it out. Tasks can run on demand; recurring or event-triggered runs depend on the workflow's available capabilities.
Search and compare models, deliver benchmark and ranking briefings, run side-by-side prompt tests, watch your credits, and answer docs questions — on a schedule within your OpenRouter account.
Yes. One-click OAuth signs you into OpenRouter — no API keys, no catalog reading. Zaira wires up the official OpenRouter MCP and does the model research for you.
Only test messages and image generations can spend credits, and Zaira only runs those when you ask. Catalog, pricing, benchmark, ranking, credit, and docs lookups are read-only.
With those you ask on demand, one question at a time, and nothing runs while the chat is closed. Zaira uses the same official OpenRouter MCP, wired up for you, and adds the schedule — briefings, credit alerts, and comparisons keep running even when you're not prompting.
Yes, via secure OAuth. Access runs through OpenRouter's dedicated integration key, which carries its own spend cap and can be revoked from your OpenRouter dashboard anytime.
It combines your task with the live catalog, pricing, benchmarks, and rankings — so "cheapest model good at coding" gets a grounded pick, and you can test it side by side before committing.
