OpenRouter StrawberrySomeone still has to send completion request. It does not have to be you
A companion works the 3 operations your OpenRouter account exposes. It can send a completion request and send a chat completion request, and every one of those waits on an approval card showing the available model before it changes.
Open the available model. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the OpenRouter afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing landing on a available model until you approve it.
What it can do is exactly what OpenRouter exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 3 operations, 1 read and 2 writes. In practice that means it can send a completion request and send a chat completion request, and work across the available models, chat completion requests and completion requests.
The OpenRouter API stops at OpenRouter. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Where do the available models come from?
1 of the 3 operations is a read.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can retrieve available models, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from OpenRouter's documentation.
The available models are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the chat completion requests. A companion can hold all 3 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of OpenRouter admin becomes a queue you review.

Can it change a available model without asking?
All 2 write operations wait for you.
A companion can send a completion request and send a chat completion request, and each one is staged on an approval card first: you see the available model, the field and the new value before it lands in OpenRouter.
Nothing in OpenRouter is sent, changed or deleted on your behalf without that click, and a rejected card leaves the available model exactly as it was. The gate is the same one on every surface, described at security.

What does the recurring available models pass look like?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the OpenRouter available models pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The operations playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the busywork, the OpenRouter available models sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
