Azure OpenAI

In this example, we are using Azure OpenAI to generate the keys.

Note: You will likely need a paid plan and have to pay per usage. See here for up-to-date details and pricing .

Platforms will always change so this guide may not reflect 100% process.

In order to use certain AI modules, users must have an API Key from a 3rd party provider such as OpenAI (ChatGPT), Anthropic (Claude), Stability AI (Stable Diffusion), etc

Please check each AI module to see which 3rd party providers can be used for it.
