Hi team 👋

First off, thanks for the awesome project — I love the direction Karakeep is taking! 🙌
I’m looking to explore how we might integrate the [OpenRouter API](https://openrouter.ai/docs) as the LLM backend for AI features in Karakeep.

My use case:
I'd like to use models like GPT-4o, Claude, or Mistral via OpenRouter (instead of the default OpenAI API) to:

Generate summaries
Assist with note creation
Potentially run custom prompts

Questions:

Is there any existing support or abstraction layer for switching AI providers in Karakeep?
Where should we hook into the codebase to swap the current LLM API with OpenRouter endpoints?
Are there any architectural constraints I should be aware of when customizing the AI layer?

Happy to contribute the integration and open a PR if that helps. Let me know how best to get started.

Thanks! 🙏
