What's New
Use your existing OpenRouter API keys on Backboard to unlock stateful memory, session continuity, and integrated RAG — without changing providers or migrating infrastructure.
How It Works
Add your OpenRouter API key in the Backboard dashboard under Settings → Integrations.
All OpenRouter models immediately become available with Backboard memory and state attached.
Model routing still handled by OpenRouter — Backboard adds the stateful layer on top.
Billing splits cleanly: pay OpenRouter for model usage, Backboard for infrastructure features.
What You Get
Persistent memory: Every conversation through OpenRouter now remembers across sessions.
Session continuity: Pick up conversations where you left off, regardless of model switches.
Integrated RAG: Your documents and knowledge bases work with all OpenRouter models.
Thread management: Organize conversations into threads with full history.
State management: Stateful tool calling across conversation rounds.
Supported Models
Every model available on OpenRouter works with BYOK — no restrictions. This includes models not yet in Backboard's direct library, giving you access to niche and community models with full Backboard infrastructure.
Migration Guide
No code changes required if you're already using Backboard's API format.
For existing OpenRouter users: add the Backboard SDK wrapper around your existing calls to enable memory.
Existing OpenRouter conversations can be imported as Backboard threads for continuity.
