How to create an OpenAI API key

To use Mono's AI features, you will need to open your own OpenAI account (one per partner), load a prepaid amount for AI token usage, and share the API key for that OpenAI account with us so we can connect it to our system. Having your own OpenAI account allows you to fully control your AI expenditure and data.


Here are a few important tips:

  • The minimum amount you can load is $5, but we recommend starting with at least $10-20. With $10, you can create approximately 750 landing page sites using Quick Creator AI (QC AI). An alert will pop up within QC AI if your OpenAI account balance reaches $0. The AI functionalities will resume working once the balance is reloaded.
  • After opening an OpenAI account and loading a prepaid amount, you will need to create an API key as described in this article. This key will allow us to connect your OpenAI account to the Mono Platform, enabling you to use our AI features.
  • This connection will allow you to access all current and upcoming AI features from Mono, including Quick Creator AI and the Text Editor AI Assistant.
  • Each partner only needs to create and connect one OpenAI account.
  • To enable Mono's AI features, you will need to submit a support ticket and provide your OpenAI API key.
