Do I need an API key or external account?

You do not need to subscribe to a monthly ChatGPT plan.
You only need to purchase API tokens.

At the moment, Fabio AI Chatbot works with an OpenAI API key.
Development is in progress to also support Claude AI and Gemini API keys.

Fabio AI Chatbot uses ChatGPT 5.0 Mini, as it is the most cost-effective option and works very well for answering visitor questions.

You can create your OpenAI API key here:
https://platform.openai.com/api-keys

You can check ChatGPT API pricing here:
https://platform.openai.com/docs/pricing

The cost is only a few cents for several hundred conversations.

If you need help creating or setting up an API key, please ask for help on this forum:
