How to use Z.AI in BoltAI

Z.AI makes the GLM models. Add your API key and chat with them in BoltAI.

Before you start

An API key from your Z.AI account. The Z.AI Quick Start shows how to create one.

Set up Z.AI in BoltAI

1. Open Settings › AI Providers, click +, and choose Z.AI.
2. Paste your key into API Key.
3. Leave Base URL empty. If your account uses a different endpoint, enter it here.
4. Click Next.
5. Keep all models, or untick the ones you don't want. To choose the model this provider starts with, hover over it and click Set as Default.
6. Click Add Service.

Start a chat with GLM models

Click the model name in the message box, press ⇧ ⌘ M, or type /model, and pick a model under Z.AI.

To start every new chat with it, right-click the model and choose Set Provider & Model as Default. See Choose and switch models.

To get a quick answer without thinking, choose Off in the reasoning effort menu next to the model name.

If it doesn't work

• BoltAI couldn't verify this API key. Copy the key again and paste it into API Key.
• You entered a Base URL. Clear it in Edit Configuration to go back to Z.AI's endpoint.
