The OpenAI integration allows you to leverage the power of artificial intelligence with OpenAI's language models. These models have the ability to comprehend, produce, and interact with text and images.
OpenAI Usage and Rate Limits
OpenAI charges for API usage and has variable rate limits. If you exceed your quota, you will get an error in Glide.
You’ll need to create an account on OpenAI if you haven’t already.
In OpenAI, head to the API keys page and create a new API search key. Once you close the key window, you cannot view the key again. Save this key in a safe place.
In your Glide app, click the Settings icon in the upper-right corner.
Navigate to the Integrations tab and select OpenAI.
Click the Add button.
Copy-paste the OpenAI API key to finish configuring the integration. It will save automatically.
