The Creator Funnel

Optional

OpenRouter

AI writer and product builder

Without it: The Write with AI buttons and the AI product builder stay off.

AI drafts run on your own OpenRouter account and are billed there, usually a few cents per draft. The Creator Funnel never pays for AI and never uses a key of its own.

Steps

  1. 1Create an account

    Sign up at OpenRouter with your email or Google account.

    Open OpenRouter

  2. 2Add credit

    On Credits add a small amount, for example 5 or 10 dollars. That covers many drafts. Some providers keep or train on prompts: choose what you allow on OpenRouter's privacy settings page.

    Open OpenRouter credits

  3. 3Create a key

    On Keys press Create Key, name it after this website and set a credit limit (for example 5 dollars a month) so a key can never spend more than you planned. Copy the key (it starts with sk-or-) and paste it here.

    Open OpenRouter keys

    In your dashboard you fill in: OpenRouter key (starts sk-or-).

  4. 4Done

    Pick a model under Settings → AI writer, then press Write with AI in any editor.

In your dashboard: Settings → Connections → OpenRouter → Set up. Provider steps checked Oct 31, 2026.
