Can I use my own API key?​

Yes.

Using API keys offers several benefits:

  • More models. Access a wider range of models from a bigger pool of AI providers than what is available without API keys.

  • More control. Monitor and manage your AI usage and costs directly on the AI provider's platform.

  • Improved privacy. We do not log inputs and outputs when you use a model with an API key. For more information, see our security and privacy FAQ.

  • Reduced costs. If you're on usage-based pricing, using an API key reduces costs. You pay the model usage fees directly to the AI provider, while paying a reduced service fee for GPT for Work.
