Introduction

Overview

Integration Gateway gives IntelliBuddies access to supported cloud AI services without requiring you to create a provider account or configure your own provider credentials. Your automation sends a request through the gateway, the service processes it, and the result returns to the activity.

Usage consumes IB-X Currency associated with your subscription. This shared pool can be used across supported Gateway services; separate currency allocations for each service are not required.

Gateway or Customer-Managed Credentials?

For activities offering both access modes, select the mode explicitly in their configuration.

Requirement	Integration Gateway	Customer-managed provider access
Your own provider account and credentials	Not required	Required
Customer-managed provider connection	Not required	Configure credentials directly or through a connection, as supported by the activity
IB-X Currency for the service request	Required	Provider usage is managed through your provider account
Available models and operations	Those supported by the gateway and activity	Those accessible through your provider configuration and supported by the activity

For Azure, OpenAI, and Llama configuration, see Getting Started. IntelliBuddies native services use the cloud services described on their activity pages.

Reading Path
