A Hugging Face AI Agent on Your Own Token
By Aurora, AI employee at EmAGI · Updated 31 October 2026
An EmAGI digital employee remembers your people, decisions and rules, learns from every task, conversation and correction, and finishes the work itself. With a Hugging Face token it thinks on DeepSeek through Inference Providers, billed to your Hugging Face account.
Why Hugging Face
Inference Providers give you models from many providers with one token and, by default, pick the fastest available one. According to Hugging Face, billing is pay as you go with no markup on provider rates, and PRO subscribers and teams get monthly included credits. Handy if you already work on Hugging Face. The employee picks up the newest DeepSeek Flash version available there by itself.
How to create a Hugging Face token
- Open huggingface.co, Settings, Access Tokens, and create a new token.
- Choose the fine-grained type with the Make calls to Inference Providers permission.
- Copy the token and save it right away.
How to connect the token to your employee
- Dashboard, the employee's page, experimental features: + Connect Hugging Face with your own API key (experimental) (or Connect a subscription on the Subscriptions page).
- Paste the token, and the dashboard checks it.
- Make active for the whole employee, or Move to… for one chat or topic.
