Autohand Code Integration

Autohand Code is an autonomous AI coding agent that works in your terminal, IDE, and Slack. With Halfbill, you can route all Autohand Code requests through a single API and use Claude and GPT models with full cost tracking.

Setup

export OPENAI_BASE_URL=https://api.halfbill.uk/v1
export OPENAI_API_KEY=llmgtwy_your_api_key_here

Why Use Halfbill with Autohand Code

• Claude and GPT — Anthropic and OpenAI models at half list price
• Cost tracking — Monitor exactly how much each autonomous agent costs
• Single bill — No need to manage multiple API provider accounts
• Response caching — Repeated requests hit cache automatically

Configuration File

You can also configure Halfbill in Autohand Code's config file:

{
	"provider": {
		"halfbill": {
			"baseUrl": "https://api.halfbill.uk/v1",
			"apiKey": "llmgtwy_your_api_key_here"
		}
	},
	"model": "gpt-5.5"
}

Choosing Models

You can use any model from the models page.

Autohand Code Features with Halfbill

Terminal (CLI)

Autohand Code CLI works with Halfbill out of the box. Set the environment variables and use all Autohand Code commands as normal — multi-file editing, agentic search, and autonomous code generation.

IDE Integration

Autohand Code's VS Code and Zed extensions respect the same environment variables. Set them in your shell profile and the IDE integration will automatically route through Halfbill.

Slack Integration

When using Autohand Code through Slack, configure the Halfbill base URL in your Autohand Code server settings to route all Slack-triggered coding tasks through Halfbill.

Monitoring Usage

Once configured, all Autohand Code requests appear in your Halfbill dashboard:

• Request logs — See every request with model, tokens, and cost
• Cost breakdown — Track spending by model and time period
• Usage analytics — Understand your AI usage patterns
