OpenRouter	Instructions on how to integrate OpenRouter as a conversation agent	Voice	2025.8	Cloud Polling	true	@joostlek	open_router	service	conversation

The OpenRouter {% term integration %} allows you to use the OpenRouter API as a conversation agent in Home Assistant.

This integration provides a way to interact with a wide range of AI models available on OpenRouter, while billing is handled by OpenRouter. You can even use your own third-party (like OpenAI) API key.
