Add your own AI keys
Add your OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or xAI keys once so your AI never pauses when your monthly tokens run out.
Every plan includes a generous monthly pool of AI usage, and for most teams that is all you need. If you want a safety net so your AI never pauses, you can add your own provider keys. When your team's monthly tokens run out, Noli switches to your keys automatically and keeps working. You only pay your provider for what is actually used beyond your plan.
You add keys once, in one place, and they cover every product and your Chief of Staff.
Where to add them
Open Settings, then the AI provider keys page. This is managed by your workspace owner. If you are not the owner, you will see a note that your owner handles keys.
At the top of the same page there is a second option: run your Chief of Staff on a ChatGPT plan you already pay for. See Use your ChatGPT plan.
Add a key
You can add any or all of four providers:
- OpenAI, a key that starts with
sk- - Anthropic (Claude), a key that starts with
sk-ant- - Google (Gemini), a key that starts with
AIza - xAI (Grok), a key that starts with
xai-
Paste a key in its box and click Save. Each provider shows whether a key is set. Adding several is best, because it lets Noli pick the right provider for each task.
Which keys reach your Chief of Staff
OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google keys are also pushed to each teammate's Chief of Staff, which restarts for about 30 seconds while they apply. xAI keys are used by the Noli apps only.
Getting a key from each provider
- OpenAI: create a key at the OpenAI platform, then add a payment method on its billing page. OpenAI requires this before a key will work. Copy the key right away, it is only shown once.
- Anthropic: create a key in the Anthropic console and add some credit to your balance first. Copy it right away, it is only shown once.
- Google: go to aistudio.google.com, sign in, and create a key. If asked, pick a project or let Google create one.
Replace or remove a key
To replace a key, paste a new one over the old and save. To remove one, use Remove. With no keys set, your AI simply pauses when the monthly pool is used up, and resumes the next cycle.
How it works with your plan
Keys are a fall-through, not a replacement. Normal usage draws on your included monthly tokens. Only once those run out does Noli switch to your keys, and that usage is billed by your provider, not by Noli. See Your AI usage and allowance for how the pool works.
