Bed of Roses Credits

The Bed of Roses credits provider (bor) lets you use BOR without bringing your own model key. You use BOR’s metered credits, and the runtime proxies your turns through a managed backend.

​

When to use it

• You don’t have (or don’t want to manage) a provider API key.
• You want the simplest possible onboarding — pick BOR credits and go.
• You want a single, predictable billing surface instead of juggling vendor keys.

​

How it works

The bor provider (server/providers/bor.js) speaks to a metered proxy. Your turns are billed against your BOR credit balance. The provider exposes the same stream() interface as every other provider, so the rest of BOR behaves identically — tools, surfaces, the bridge, and the chat loop all work the same.

​

Onboarding

Pick Bed of Roses credits in onboarding. No key entry is required for the credits path; you authenticate to your BOR account and your balance funds your usage.

​

Balance & usage

Your credit balance and usage are tracked server-side. The proxy meters input tokens, output tokens, and cached input tokens, and deducts from your balance accordingly.

​

Switching away

You can switch to your own provider key any time (re-run onboarding or edit config.json) — and back again. With multi-presence you can even run one presence on BOR credits and another on your own Anthropic/OpenAI/Gemini key.
