# 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

   - Fill the form with:
     - URL: `https://ai-gateway.helicone.ai`

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

## 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.
