What would you like to see?

Maybe the api key thingy is too complicated and attachedd to the threat of a pay. Those apps are free to use.
There are a miriad of apps that work as clients for those, inclluding outlook.
Why can't you make the integraiton simply use it the same way as those clients?

@timothycarambat commented on GitHub (May 4, 2026):

Because then we would be running a middleware app for every instance - which becomes a single point of failure for every instance of AnythingLLM. If you already have trouble doing the AppScript function, you would very much dislike the setup of a GCP OAuth flow - which is far more complex.

We don't run an official middleware because we should not have to be the failure point for every person who wants to use these flows. Not to mention the rate limits and other issues that can arise from us doing so.
