The OpenAI API is like the secret sauce 🍝 that powers our AI SaaS platform. It's absolutely essential for making our application work its magic! ✨

What's the API Key Used For? 🤔

API keys are like the handshake 🤝 between your OpenAI account and Embdabl. With this connection, we can:

• Read and write files 📁

• Import or create an assistant in your account 🧙

Without a working API key, our AI SaaS won't be able to whip up any AI Assistants. It's like trying to bake a cake 🎂 without flour!

Different Flavors of API Keys 🌶️

We've got two different types of API Keys in our platform:

1. Global API Key: This key is mainly used to upload files to your account, but it also helps us see which models are available. It's like the master key 🗝️ to your OpenAI account.

2. Chatbot API Key: This key is the special ingredient 🧪 for generating AI chatbot replies.

Best Practices (aka Pro Tips! 🎓)

We highly recommend using a different API key for each chatbot and a separate one for your Global Key. It's like having different locks 🔒 for different doors 🚪 – all about security!

Here's why:

• If you get a flood of messages 🌊 on one chatbot, or if an API key gets leaked, you only need to change the specific key with the problem.

• If all your chatbots share the same key and something goes wrong, all your chatbots will have downtime. 😭

How to Create Your API Key 🛠️

1. Open the OpenAI Platform Settings.

2. Go to Project API Keys and double-check that you have the right project selected.

3. Configure you Global API key in Embdabl settings. Find an image showing openAI platform API key settings.
