Agent settings and your own OpenAI key

Set the agent's reply language, tone and web search, manage what it remembers, run it on your own OpenAI key, and top up your AI budget.

Agent settings holds how the agent replies, what it remembers and your own OpenAI keys. Open it from the gear at the foot of the sidebar, under Settings > Agent settings, or from the settings menu inside any agent chat. The page is open on every plan.

The GitHub connection the agent uses to open pull requests is not here: set it up on the GitHub card in Integrations > Publish content.


Replies

Setting

What it does

Reply language

The language the agent answers in. Match my messages (the default) answers in the language you write in. The setup chat follows it too.

Tone

How much the agent explains: Balanced (a clear answer with a few short lines), Concise (the answer and little else) or Detailed (the reasoning and the steps)

Web search

Lets the agent look up current facts about your brand, your competitors and AI search

Things the agent saves for a brand stay in the brand's market language, whatever the reply language.


Memory

Memory lists what the agent remembers about you and your brands, newest first. Click Forget this to remove one. See Agent memory.


Agent API keys: run the agent on your own OpenAI key

By default the agent spends your AI budget. With your own OpenAI key, the agent runs on your OpenAI account instead: its usage is billed by OpenAI and your AI budget is not touched. Agent API keys need Starter or higher on your own account.

Adding a key

  1. Go to Agent settings > Agent API keys

  2. Click Add key

  3. Enter a Name (a label to recognise it) and the API key (OpenAI keys start with "sk-")

  4. Click Add key: the app checks the key with OpenAI before saving it

  5. Click Activate on the new key

A new key starts inactive. Only one key is active at a time. You can store up to 5 keys.

Choosing a model

Each key has a model picker with the models your key can run the agent with. One is marked Recommended.

Switching back to the AI budget

Click Deactivate on the active key, or delete it. The agent goes back to your AI budget.

If your key fails during a conversation (expired, out of quota), that turn runs on your AI budget and the chat says so.

Your key is stored encrypted. After saving, the app only shows a masked hint of it.


AI budget

Without your own key, the agent spends AI budget: a dollar balance separate from credits, included in every plan ($1 a month on Free, up to $25 on Agency Plus; see What is the agent?). AI edits in the article editor spend it too.

Checking it

  • /usage in the chat shows the conversation's context and your AI budget used

  • Subscription > Usage shows the AI budget with every credit pool, and the agent's spend under AI usage

Topping it up

Convert credits into AI budget on Plans > AI budget, or from Top up your AI budget when the chat tells you it ran out:

Credits

AI budget

20

$5

50

$15

120

$40

AI budget you add is spent within the current billing cycle and resets with your plan. If you do not have enough credits to convert, buy a credit top-up first. See Plans and subscription.


FAQ

Does my own key use my AI budget?

No. While a key is active, the agent's usage goes to your OpenAI account. The one exception is a turn where your key fails: that turn runs on your AI budget.

Does my key work for my teammates?

No. Keys, AI budget and memories are per person. Each teammate runs the agent on their own budget or key.

Which model does the agent use without my own key?

A model Rank Prompt picks for quality and speed. Its answers spend your AI budget; actions that cost credits, like running a report, ask first.
