Create an OpenAI API key (GPT)
As with Anthropic, the platform uses your own OpenAI key (BYOK). AI costs are billed directly by OpenAI. Follow these steps to generate your key.
Steps
- Go to platform.openai.com and sign in (or create an account).
- Add a payment method and credit in Settings > Billing. OpenAI bills on usage: without credit or a spending cap, calls are rejected.
- Open the API keys page.
- Click Create new secret key, name it, then confirm.
- Copy the displayed key: it starts with
sk-and is only shown once.
Connect the key in the app
- In the platform, open Settings > AI Key.
- Select the OpenAI (GPT) provider.
- Paste the
sk-...key, then save. It is encrypted and attached to your workspace.
About credit and cost
- You only pay for your actual usage, directly to OpenAI.
- Set a monthly spending limit in Billing > Limits to avoid unpleasant surprises.
- If your calls fail with a quota error, check your balance and your caps first.
