CircuitNotion — Developer Infrastructure

One OpenAI-compatible key reaches every model we route, a Kinyarwanda-capable assistant, and the coding agents you already use. No gatekeeping, no opaque limits.

01Getting startedVideo walkthrough

A short walkthrough of the platform — opening an account, buying credits with Mobile Money, and pointing a single key at OpenAI, Claude, DeepSeek, and the rest of the catalog. Everything further down this page assumes you have been through it.

01Create your keySign in to the Developer Platform and mint a cn_ key. It works with any OpenAI-compatible client.02Top up with MoMoFund the wallet with Mobile Money or card. Credits are held in RWF and spent as you call the API.03Pick a modelBrowse the live catalog for pricing, context windows, and which models handle Kinyarwanda.
02Coding agents

We recommend Cline — it speaks the OpenAI-compatible protocol this API is native to, so it needs a base URL and a key and nothing else. Claude Code and Hermes work on the same cn_ key. Your wallet pays for usage.

Before you start

  1. Create an API key on the Developer Platform and store the cn_… secret.
  2. Fund your wallet on the Developer Platform (Pricing & credits).
  3. Use the correct base URL for each agent protocol (see below).
