Configure Open API Integration

This key lets your platform tap directly into your OpenAI account to run the AI models behind your agents. Two quick heads-ups before we start. First, OpenAI shows you the key only once, so we'll copy it the second it appears. And second — make sure your OpenAI account has billing or credits set up, or the key won't actually work once it's connected.

5. Copy API Key

Here's the step everyone forgets. This dialog shows your brand-new key, and read that warning carefully — you won't be able to see it again after you close this window. So right now, before anything else, click "Copy."

And that's it — your OpenAI key is created and copied. Head back to wherever you're connecting it, paste it into the API key field, and save. Just remember to keep some credits on your OpenAI account so your agents keep running smoothly. See you in the next one.
