Requirements
Bring your own AI and provider accounts
Polymai currently runs as a VS Code extension. You need VS Code installed, plus your own AI and provider accounts depending on what you build. You keep ownership of your OpenAI, ChatGPT/Codex, Supabase, GitHub, Stripe, Resend, and other provider accounts. Polymai subscriptions do not include third-party provider usage.
Recommended
OpenAI API key + ChatGPT account with Codex access. Best for full app builds, review loops, code changes, and complex SaaS workflows.
Supported
OpenAI API key only. Works for planning, generation, and simpler builds, but may need more manual review.
Experimental
Ollama/local models. Useful for testing and lightweight tasks, but not recommended yet for production-quality app generation.
Bring your own AI and provider accounts. VS Code is required. OpenAI + Codex is recommended; OpenAI API key only or Ollama may work for simpler tasks with lower reliability.
