Provider	Key	Notes
Gemini	GEMINI_API_KEY
OpenAI	OPENAI_API_KEY
Claude	ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
Grok	XAI_API_KEY
Ollama	none	Runs entirely on your machine — nothing leaves it
OpenClaw	none	A local Gateway supplies the model, the key and the embeddings — see OpenClaw
Mock	none	Deterministic and offline, so the whole library is testable

Retries with exponential backoff on transient failures, a response cache so ten plugins reacting to one sensor tick don't fire ten paid requests, and structured output with schema coercion — plugins receive objects with guaranteed keys, never prose to regex.

const result = await plant.analyze( 'Does this plant need repotting?', {
  schema : { advice : '', urgency : 'low', potSizeCm : 0 },
} )
// result.advice, result.urgency and result.potSizeCm are always present

Register any other backend in three lines:

plant.ai.registerProvider( 'my-llm', {
  generate : async ( { prompt, system } ) => callMyModel( system, prompt ),
} )
