Pull request overview

This PR updates the Shift tutorial documentation to reflect a change in how API keys are configured. Instead of obtaining an API key from OpenRouter and entering it in the Shift interface directly, users now configure API keys in the main Caido settings (Account → Settings → AI tab).

Changes:

  • Relocated API key configuration from Shift-specific instructions to general Caido settings
  • Removed OpenRouter-specific instructions and cost warning
  • Updated configuration steps to be provider-agnostic

💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

An image reference has been removed without being replaced. The previous version included an image showing how to add the API key in Shift. While the instructions have changed to use the Settings menu instead, users would still benefit from a visual guide showing where to enter the API key in the AI settings tab. Consider adding a screenshot showing the AI settings tab interface.

The instruction lacks specificity about which provider's API key should be entered and where to obtain it. The previous version specifically mentioned OpenRouter with a link for registration and key generation. Now that the configuration is more generic (supporting multiple providers), users need guidance on which providers are supported and how to obtain their API keys. Consider adding information about supported providers or linking to relevant documentation about provider options.

Suggested change
Enter your API key for your provider and **click** on the `Verify` button.
Enter the API key for your chosen AI provider (for example OpenAI, OpenRouter, or another provider supported in your Caido setup), and then **click** on the `Verify` button. If you're unsure which providers are available or how to obtain an API key, see the [AI providers documentation](/app/guides/ai_providers.md).

Important information about cost monitoring has been removed. The previous version warned users that certain models cost credits and recommended setting a budget to avoid high costs. This is critical information for users to avoid unexpected charges. Consider adding back a warning about monitoring API usage and costs, even if it's no longer specific to OpenRouter.

Suggested change
::: warning
Many AI/LLM providers charge per request or per token. Make sure you understand your provider's pricing, monitor your API usage and costs, and configure budgets/quotas in your provider account. You can also use Shift's request limits to help prevent unexpected high usage.
