ActivePieces currently supports the following AI providers:

  • OpenAI
  • Anthropic

To create a new AI provider, you need to follow these steps:

​
Implement the AI Interface

Create a new factory that returns an instance of the AI interface in the packages/pieces/community/common/src/lib/ai/providers/your-ai-provider.ts file.

export const yourAiProvider = ({
  serverUrl,
  engineToken,
}: { serverUrl: string, engineToken: string }): AI<YourAiProviderSDK> => {
  const impl = new YourAiProviderSDK(serverUrl, engineToken);
  return {
    provider: "YOUR_AI_PROVIDER" as const,
    chat: {
      text: async (params) => {
        try {
          const response = await impl.chat.text(params);
          return response;
        } catch (e: any) {
          if (e?.error?.error) {
            throw e.error.error;
          }
          throw e;
        }
      }
    },
  };
};

​
Register the AI Provider

Add the new AI provider to the AiProviders enum in packages/pieces/community/common/src/lib/ai/providers/index.ts file.

export const AiProviders = [
+  {
+    logoUrl: 'https://cdn.activepieces.com/pieces/openai.png',
+    defaultBaseUrl: 'https://api.your-ai-provider.com',
+    label: 'Your AI Provider' as const,
+    value: 'your-ai-provider' as const,
+    models: [
+      { label: 'model-1', value: 'model-1' },
+      { label: 'model-2', value: 'model-2' },
+      { label: 'model-3', value: 'model-3' },
+    ],
+    factory: yourAiProvider,
+  },
...
]

​
Define Authentication Header

Now we need to tell ActivePieces how to authenticate to your AI provider. You can do this by adding an auth property to the AiProvider object.

The auth property is an object that defines the authentication mechanism for your AI provider. It consists of two properties: name and mapper. The name property specifies the name of the header that will be used to authenticate with your AI provider, and the mapper property defines a function that maps the value of the header to the format that your AI provider expects.

Here’s an example of how to define the authentication header for a bearer token:

export const AiProviders = [
  {
    logoUrl: 'https://cdn.activepieces.com/pieces/openai.png',
    defaultBaseUrl: 'https://api.your-ai-provider.com',
    label: 'Your AI Provider' as const,
    value: 'your-ai-provider' as const,
    models: [
      { label: 'model-1', value: 'model-1' },
      { label: 'model-2', value: 'model-2' },
      { label: 'model-3', value: 'model-3' },
    ],
+    auth: authHeader({ bearer: true }), // or authHeader({ name: 'x-api-key', bearer: false })
    factory: yourAiProvider,
  },
...
]

​
Test the AI Provider

To test the AI provider, you can use a universal AI piece in a flow. Follow these steps:

  • Add the required headers from the admin console for the newly created AI provider. These headers will be used to authenticate the requests to the AI provider.

  • Create a flow that uses our universal AI pieces. And select “Your AI Provider” as the AI provider in the Ask AI action settings.
