OpenAI

Add AI features powered by GPT models to your app.

What is OpenAI?

OpenAI makes the GPT models behind ChatGPT. Plug your OpenAI API key into Zzz and your app can use those models: chat, text generation, image understanding and more.

What it unlocks in Zzz

Smart assistant: add a chat to your app that answers your users in natural language.
Text generation: summaries, ideas, descriptions, translations, generated on demand inside your app.
Image understanding: your app can read and describe photos your users send.
Smart features everywhere: auto-categorize expenses, suggest workout plans, draft messages… if it needs "thinking", GPT can do it.

Get your API key

Open platform.openai.com and sign in (or create an account).
In the left menu, open API keys.
Click Create new secret key and give it a name, like "Zzz".
Copy the key right away: OpenAI shows it only once.

Note: the API is billed by usage, separately from ChatGPT Plus. Add a small credit (5 USD goes a long way) in Billing.

Connect it to Zzz

In Zzz, open Connections, pick OpenAI, then click Add connection.
Paste your key and validate.
In the chat, ask for your feature: "add an AI coach that suggests a daily menu". Zzz wires GPT into your app.

Good to know

Your key is stored encrypted and never exposed in your app’s code.
You can watch your usage and set spending limits in the OpenAI dashboard.
