+### Input Provider Configuration
+
+Avante.nvim supports multiple input providers for user input (like API key entry). You can configure which provider to use:
+
+<details>
+  <summary>Native Input Provider (Default)</summary>
+
+```lua
+{
+  input = {
+    provider = "native", -- Uses vim.ui.input
+    provider_opts = {},
+  }
+}
+```
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+  <summary>Dressing.nvim Input Provider</summary>
+
+For enhanced input UI with better styling and features:
+
+```lua
+{
+  input = {
+    provider = "dressing",
+    provider_opts = {},
+  }
+}
+```
+
+You'll need to install dressing.nvim:
+```lua
+-- With lazy.nvim
+{ "stevearc/dressing.nvim" }
+```
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+  <summary>Snacks.nvim Input Provider (Recommended)</summary>
+
+For modern, feature-rich input UI:
+
+```lua
+{
+  input = {
+    provider = "snacks",
+    provider_opts = {
+      -- Additional snacks.input options
+      title = "Avante Input",
+      icon = " ",
+    },
+  }
+}
+```
+
+You'll need to install snacks.nvim:
+```lua
+-- With lazy.nvim
+{ "folke/snacks.nvim" }
+```
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+  <summary>Custom Input Provider</summary>
+
+To create a customized input provider, you can specify a function:
+
+```lua
+{
+  input = {
+    ---@param input avante.ui.Input
+    provider = function(input)
+      local title = input.title ---@type string
+      local default = input.default ---@type string
+      local conceal = input.conceal ---@type boolean
+      local on_submit = input.on_submit ---@type fun(result: string|nil): nil
+
+      --- your customized input logic here
+    end,
+  }
+}
+```
+
+</details>
+
 Choose a selector other that native, the default as that currently has an issue
 For lazyvim users copy the full config for blink.cmp from the website or extend the options
