The gitmeh project is now at version 2.0. I’ve swapped out the Google Gemini integration in favor of OpenRouter.

Why the change?

While Gemini worked well, but OpenRouter solves a few problems I encountered while using it:

  • Budget cap: I managed to rack up a higher-than-expected bill with Gemini. OpenRouter allows for a hard-capped prepaid balance, meaning it’s impossible to accidentally overspend.
  • Model freedom: You aren’t locked into one provider. You can now use Claude, Llama, GPT or whatever other model you prefer. OpenRouter allowed me to let you toggle between any model you prefer.
  • Custom Prompts: Version 2.0 now supports custom prompts. This means you can finally tell the AI to be even more sarcastic, write its summaries in another language, or provide massive, overly detailed essays for a two-line CSS change.

What’s New in v2.0:

  • OpenRouter Integration: Flexible model selection and strict budget control.
  • Prompt Customization: Tailor the AI’s “personality” and output style.
  • Same Level of Disrespect: Don’t worry, the 40+ status messages mocking your work ethic are still there.

Documentation & Setup

If you’re already using an older version, you’ll need to grab an OpenRouter API key to get back up and running. Full details on configuration and the new features are available on the GitHub repo.
