About Marinara Engine
Marinara Engine is a free, local, AI-powered chat, roleplay and game engine that you install and run on your own computer. You chat with characters, have them create scenes and play games, with many model providers to choose from. Instead of an API key, you can sign in with your Claude Pro or Max plan, or your ChatGPT account through Codex, once on the computer that runs it.
Can you use your ChatGPT plan in Marinara Engine?
Yes. Your ChatGPT account, through Codex. Marinara Engine's own page says: "Subscription logins: use your Claude Pro or Max plan, your ChatGPT account (through Codex), or SuperGrok / X Premium+ (through the Grok CLI) instead of an API key."
