# Xcode Integration (AI Gateway)

> Configure Xcode's Intelligence model provider to route through Helicone's AI Gateway for observability.

This guide shows how to add Helicone as a model provider in Xcode so your chats route through the Helicone AI Gateway and show up in your Helicone dashboard.

## Prerequisites

* A Helicone account and API key
* Org/provider keys configured in Helicone (so models can be listed)

## Steps

1. Open Xcode Settings

   * Xcode → Settings…

   * Fill the form with:
     * URL: `https://ai-gateway.helicone.ai`
     * API Key: `Bearer <helicone-api-key>`
     * API Key Header: `Authorization`
     * Description: `Helicone` (you can name this however you like)

3. Confirm models are available

   * After saving, Xcode should list available models from Helicone
   * There are many models; use Favorites to pin the ones you use most

4. Start chatting and view logs in Helicone

   * Use the chat in Xcode with your selected model
   * Open the Helicone dashboard to see your requests, tokens, and costs

5. Switch chat model

   * In the chat widget, press the dropdown to select a new model.

## Notes

* URL points to the Helicone AI Gateway. Your Helicone API key is sent via the `Authorization` header.
* If you don’t see models, verify your org/provider keys are set in Helicone and that your key has access.
