Description

One-line addition to the OpenAI API compatible providers bullet list in docs/customize/model-providers/top-level/openai.mdx.

Kelly Intelligence is an OpenAI-compatible API with a built-in vocabulary RAG layer (162,000 words across 47 languages) and an AI tutor persona, built on top of Claude. It's operated by Lesson of the Day, PBC, a public benefit corporation building education infrastructure. The free tier requires no credit card.

It works with Continue out of the box using the existing provider: openai + apiBase pattern that's already documented on the same page — no new provider integration, no code changes, just one new bullet alongside KoboldCpp, LocalAI, vLLM, BerriAI/litellm, and Tetrate Agent Router Service.

Example config (uses existing provider: openai + apiBase)

name: My Config
version: 0.0.1
schema: v1

models:
  - name: Kelly Haiku
    provider: openai
    model: kelly-haiku
    apiBase: https://api.thedailylesson.com/v1
    apiKey: <YOUR_KELLY_API_KEY>

Try without an API key

Kelly Intelligence has a public /v1/demo endpoint for trying the API without any signup (5 requests/hour per IP):

curl -X POST https://api.thedailylesson.com/v1/demo \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"messages":[{"role":"user","content":"What does ephemeral mean?"}]}'

This is the same wire format as /v1/chat/completions — useful for verifying the integration before adding a key to your Continue config.

Checklist

  • I've read the contributing guide
  • The relevant docs, if any, have been updated or created
  • The relevant tests, if any, have been updated or created (n/a — docs-only, single bullet addition)

Screen recording or screenshot

n/a — single-line documentation addition to an existing bullet list.

Tests

n/a — docs-only change, no code touched. The example config above has been verified end-to-end against the live https://api.thedailylesson.com/v1 endpoint.


Note on positioning: Kelly Intelligence is complementary to direct provider access, not a replacement for the official Anthropic SDK. It's the right fit when an application needs the OpenAI wire format and vocabulary / language-learning RAG features without building that data layer in-house.
