Bolt your software to Switchboard
Step one: register each product you host (or run locally). Only you see what you add — same Switchboard, your account, your vault.
Name your software and where it lives.
On your Switchboard
No software bolted yet.
Add your keys
Pick the software you bolted, then drop in each API secret (ElevenLabs, Stripe, etc.). Add as many keys as that product needs. AI agent keys work the same way.
Which software is this key for?
You can always return via Bolt software or API keys in the sidebar.
You're set up
Your software is on Switchboard. Keys you add stay in your vault and attach when your bolted apps run.

🔐 Your keys stay in the vault
API keys are stored in your Switchboard vault on this server. The UI shows masked keys. Chat requests go through Switchboard so keys are not pasted into other apps.
Stored Keys
No keys stored yet. Add keys under Brains.

🚀 Getting Started
1. Add a Brain
Go to My Brains, click + Add Brain, choose a provider (OpenAI, Claude, OpenRouter), paste your API key and pick a model.
2. Select a Brain
In the Chat screen, click a brain chip in the purple bar above the chat to make it active.
3. Switch Mid-Chat
Click any other brain chip at any point — the very next message uses that brain. No restart needed.
