FAQ
-
Is an API key required from OpenAI or DeepSeek?
-
Yes. You must generate and add your own API key from either OpenAI or DeepSeek in the Assistant AI settings. This ensures secure, direct communication between your website and the AI service. Setting it up takes just a few minutes.
Both platforms require you to fund your own account, but the good news is: with as little as €2–€5, you can often run the Assistant AI for many weeks, especially if your usage is moderate. It’s a cost-effective way to add smart AI to your site without ongoing subscriptions.
This is a smart alternative to many AI chat platforms that charge €90 to €245 per month or more, often based on the number of chats or visitors. By using your own API key, you keep full control over your costs and usage, without any hidden fees or imposed limits.
