Before you start, install the tool and create an API key with prepaid balance in the AsterWise app.
Based on the tool’s documented custom-provider setup. Live AsterWise compatibility has not yet been tested for this tool.

​
Which API does this use?

This guide selects Chat Completions through the custom endpoint’s chat_completions transport. The base URL is https://api.asterwise.dev/v1. The client builds the full endpoint: https://api.asterwise.dev/v1/chat/completions. The model name chooses AsterCode or AsterWork, not the protocol. Use the base URL in the configuration below, rather than the full endpoint.

​
1. Open the provider wizard

Exit any running chat and run:

​
2. Choose a custom endpoint

Select Custom endpoint and enter: If the wizard asks for an API format, select Chat Completions. In current provider configuration this is transport: chat_completions. Save the configuration. Use aster-work instead if you prefer AsterWork.

​
3. Start a new session

Use hermes model to change provider settings; the in-chat /model command is not the initial provider setup wizard. Hermes can configure auxiliary models separately. Check those settings if background tasks use a different provider from your main chat. AsterWise’s API key does not configure separate search or other external services.

​
Check the connection

Ask “Reply with hello” first. Confirm a response appears and find the request in Usage in AsterWise. Then try a small coding task before a larger project. For authentication errors, run hermes model again, check the saved custom endpoint and key, then start a new session. See troubleshooting.
