FAQs
Why is raycast-g4f not available on the official Raycast store?
The extension includes third-party providers that Raycast cannot fully verify, and Raycast also offers its own AI. Additionally, the developer finds the update process for the official store too slow and cumbersome, preferring direct distribution for faster updates and better user experience.
How does raycast-g4f compare to the paid Raycast AI?
raycast-g4f offers more freedom in choosing AI providers and APIs, allowing users to use their own OpenAI keys. It is completely free with built-in providers, and custom API usage is pay-as-you-go, making it potentially cheaper than Raycast AI. It also emphasizes privacy as an open-source tool.
What are the prerequisites for installing raycast-g4f?
To install raycast-g4f, you need the Raycast app (currently macOS only), Node.js (v20.18.1 or newer), and optionally Python dependencies for features like web search. The extension is installed from source by downloading the code and running commands in the terminal.
Can I use my own API keys with raycast-g4f?
Yes, raycast-g4f fully supports custom OpenAI-compatible APIs. You can connect any such API by following the instructions in the extension's help page. For Google Gemini, you can obtain a free API key from their AI Studio and configure it within the extension preferences.
