Which AI providers does 3rigx work with?
For talking to him: OpenAI or Google Gemini. For the task team: OpenAI, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, Groq, OpenRouter, Mistral, Cerebras, or a model running on your own PC with Ollama. Each role on the team can use a different one, with a backup if it fails.
What's an API key, and why do I need my own?
An API key is a code from your account with an AI provider that lets 3rigx use its models for you. Because the key is yours, you choose the provider, and what you send stays between you and them. To start, create a free key at Google AI Studio, paste it into the 3rigx dashboard on your PC, and press Test my keys.
Does AI usage cost extra?
Yes, and it's separate from the subscription. Your provider bills you at its own prices for what 3rigx uses. Gemini's free tier is enough to start; OpenAI needs credit on your account.
3rigx can hold the task team to an estimated daily cap and shows how close each free tier is to its limit. Live voice and web research aren't in that estimate, so for a hard limit, set one in your provider's billing settings.
Where are my API keys kept?
Encrypted on your PC. The phone only ever gets short-lived session keys, and your keys never pass through 3rigx's servers.
Does it need the internet?
Yes. Talking and tasks go to your AI provider over the internet, and the PC checks your subscription online. The phone and the PC talk to each other over your own Wi-Fi. If the internet drops for a short while, his last subscription check keeps him working for a few hours.
Does the Android app cost extra?
No. One subscription covers 3rigx on your PC and the Android app paired with it. You subscribe on the PC; the phone has no payments and shows your PC's access status.
How do I cancel?
On your PC, open Account and PayPal subscription and choose Cancel renewal. You can also cancel in PayPal under automatic payments (Manage PayPal payments in the same window takes you there). You won't be charged again, and you keep access until the end of the month you've paid for.
What happens when my access ends?
He goes to sleep on the PC and the phone, and won't take new requests or run tasks. A task that's running pauses with its progress saved. Your settings, pairing, memory, profiles, routines and task history stay on your PC, so when you subscribe again you can pick up where you left off.
Can I get a refund?
If 3rigx isn't for you, email support@3rigx.com within 14 days of your first payment for a full refund. The support page has the details.
What does he hear and see?
He hears you through the phone's microphone while he's awake, and looks at your PC screen only when he needs to answer or act. Both go to your AI provider with your key. The privacy page explains what's sent, what's stored and where.
Does it work on a Mac or an iPhone?
No. 3rigx is for Windows PCs and Android phones.
