+
+[Atomic Chat](https://atomic.chat/) is a local-first desktop app that exposes an **OpenAI-compatible** HTTP API (default `http://localhost:1337/v1`). Start Atomic Chat and enable the local API server, then point nanobot at it.
+
+**1. Add to config** (partial — merge into `~/.nanobot/config.json`):
+
+```json
+{
+  "providers": {
+    "atomic_chat": {
+      "apiKey": null,
+      "apiBase": "http://localhost:1337/v1"
+    }
+  },
+  "agents": {
+    "defaults": {
+      "provider": "atomic_chat",
+      "model": "your-model-id-from-atomic-chat"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+> **Note:** Set `apiKey` to `null` if your Atomic Chat server does not require a key. If it does, set `apiKey` (or the `ATOMIC_CHAT_API_KEY` environment variable) to the value Atomic Chat expects. The `model` string must match the model id Atomic Chat exposes on its OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
+
+> `provider: "auto"` also works when `providers.atomic_chat.apiBase` is configured, but setting `"provider": "atomic_chat"` is the clearest option.
