# Groq

Use Groq as a cloud AI provider in RewriteBar by connecting your Groq API key.

## Quick Setup

1. Create a Groq account at [console.groq.com](https://console.groq.com/).
2. In the Groq console, create a new API key.
3. Copy the key immediately and store it securely.
4. Open RewriteBar and go to **Preferences** → **AI Provider** → **Groq**.
5. Paste your API key into the Groq provider settings.
6. Select a Groq model and click **Verify and Enable**.

## Notes

- API keys are secret. Do not share them publicly.
- If model list is empty, confirm your Groq account has model access and retry.

## Troubleshooting

- **Unauthorized**: your key is invalid, revoked, or pasted incorrectly.
- **Model list empty**: verify your Groq account has access to the selected model.
