# Connecting OpenAI Keys OpenAI keys allow you to use the multiple models that OpenAI offers. If you do not have an OpenAI account, you will need to create one. You can do so by clicking [here](https://openai.com/api/) and hitting signup. Follow the instructions to make your account. Once you have created your account, you will be able to get your key from your settings page. ![](/files/2fXhQJcgvYtvc7Ti4Biz) If you are logged in, click this [link](https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys) directly to get taken to the page with your API keys on it. Simply click the copy button and then paste that into the OpenAI settings [here](https://riku.ai/version-test/dashboard/api-settings). It can be good practice to create a new secret key for each service you link up so if you want to do that, hit the button to create a new key in OpenAI and then copy across that new key. You can delete your key at anytime from OpenAI which will break the link with Riku, also if you are so inclined you can remove the connection directly from your Riku account. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
