Overview of API Keys

There are two ways to use API keys in ChatLabs:

  1. Paid ChatLabs accounts: By default, ChatLabs uses AI Services API keys with usage limits based on your subscription plan. These keys are securely managed by ChatLabs and ensure a seamless experience and are not available to users for direct usage.

  2. Your own API keys: If you provide your own API keys here, ChatLabs will use them instead. This option lifts the plan-based limitations but requires you to manage your own API usage and billing with the respective providers.

Choose the option that best suits your needs and usage patterns.
