This guide will walk you through setting up Deepwriter with OpenRouter API integration to access premium AI models like Gemini Flash 2.0-exp.
A Deepwriter account ($30/month basic plan)
A Google AI Studio account
An OpenRouter account with minimum $5-10 balance
Click the "Get API key" button in the left sidebar
Save your API key for later use
Create an account
Navigate to Settings in your account dashboard
In Settings, find "Ignored Providers"
Add "Google Vertex" to the ignored providers list
Save your changes
Adding Google Vertex to ignored providers is an important step to ensure proper model routing.
Go to the Integrations section
Look for "Google AI Studio" in the list
Enable the integration
Enter your Google AI Studio API key from step 1
Enable the key and save
Go to Account → Keys in OpenRouter
Generate or copy your API key
Fund your account ($5-$10 minimum for API usage)
Log into your Deepwriter dashboard
Go to settings
In the box, paste your OpenRouter API key
Save the API key
Use the step-by-step mode for more control over the writing process
You can use "Generate Random Prompt" to experiment with different types of content
For longer works, use the Manual Progress option to review each step
You can now create content using premium models! Start with a simple prompt like "Write a book about cars" to test the setup.
Basic operations use standard page credits
Premium model usage will incur additional API costs through OpenRouter
Monitor your OpenRouter balance regularly
