Use AI Features for Free with Tabhive LTD and OpenRouter

Tabhive has AI features that help you save, search, and organize tabs faster. You can use AI search, get group name suggestions, and save tabs to the right place with Smart Tab Save.

If you are on the Tabhive Lifetime Deal, you can use these AI features with your own API key. One simple way to keep the cost low is to connect OpenRouter and choose a free model.

What You Can Do with Tabhive AI

Here are a few useful ways to use AI in Tabhive:

• AI search: Ask questions and find the tabs, groups, spaces, and snippets you need faster.
• Group name suggestions: Let AI suggest a clean group name when you create a group from open tabs.
• Smart Tab Save: Save the current tab without manually choosing the space and group.
• Better organization: Let AI match tabs to related groups so similar tabs stay together.

Why This Is Useful for LTD Users

Tabhive LTD is a one-time purchase. You pay once for lifetime access and get unlimited AI searches when you use your own API key. That means Tabhive does not limit how often you use AI inside the app.

OpenRouter gives you a place to choose the AI model. Some models on OpenRouter are free. When a free model is enough for your task, you can use Tabhive AI features without paying for every AI request.

LTD highlight: Tabhive gives you the AI features. OpenRouter lets you choose the model. Free models help you use AI without worrying about every request.

The Free Model Used in This Guide

OpenRouter has many models. For this guide, we will use Google: Gemma 4 31B (free).

When Tabhive asks for the model name, paste this:

google/gemma-4-31b-it:free

OpenRouter lists it as a free Gemma model from Google. It is a good first model to try for everyday Tabhive AI tasks.

How to Set It Up

1. Create an OpenRouter API key

Open your OpenRouter account and create an API key. Keep the key private. You will paste it into Tabhive once.

Your API key is encrypted at rest and stored securely in Tabhive, so you do not need to paste it again every time you use AI.

2. Open Tabhive AI settings

In Tabhive, go to your AI settings and choose OpenRouter as the provider.

3. Paste the free model name

Paste this model name:

google/gemma-4-31b-it:free

Then save your OpenRouter API key and model choice.

4. Use Tabhive AI normally

After that, use Tabhive AI like normal. Search your saved tabs, get group name suggestions, and use Smart Tab Save.

Watch the OpenRouter Setup

This video shows how to add your OpenRouter API key in Tabhive and choose the free model.

When a Free Model Is Enough

• Daily searches: Finding saved tabs, groups, spaces, and snippets.
• Group naming: Getting quick names for new tab groups.
• Smart saving: Saving a tab to the best space and group with less manual work.
• Trying AI: Testing how AI fits into your tab workflow.

For heavier work, you can always switch to another OpenRouter model later. Your Tabhive LTD setup stays the same.

A Few Things to Know

Free models are controlled by OpenRouter and its providers. The free model list, speed, limits, and availability can change over time.

If google/gemma-4-31b-it:free is busy or unavailable, choose another OpenRouter model that works with Tabhive.
