Stateable

If you'd rather use OpenAI's models, you bring your own OpenAI API key. A key is a private password that lets Stateable talk to OpenAI on your behalf — you pay OpenAI directly for usage, and Stateable adds no markup. This takes about five minutes.

You need an OpenAI platform account (the developer platform, not a ChatGPT subscription — they're separate).

You need billing set up on that platform account. Usage is pay-as-you-go, and a key without credits can't answer questions.

Go to <a href="https://platform.openai.com/api-keys" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">platform.openai.com/api-keys</a> and sign in, or create an account.

Add a payment method or credits under Settings → Billing.

On the API keys page, choose Create new secret key.

Name it something you'll recognize, like Stateable, and create it.

Copy the key. It starts with sk-. OpenAI only shows it once — if you lose it, delete it and make a new one.

During signup this is the Connect AI step. Later, it's Settings → Assistant.

Paste your sk- key into the API key field.

Choose Test connection to confirm the key works, then Connect AI to save it.

1. Choose OpenAI as the provider.
2. Paste your sk- key into the API key field.
3. Pick a model from the list.
4. Choose Test connection to confirm the key works, then Connect AI to save it.

Your key is encrypted before it's stored and is never shown again or sent back to your browser.

Treat the key like a password — don't paste it into emails or chats.

If it's ever exposed, delete it on the OpenAI platform and create a new one; the old one stops working immediately.

You can set usage limits in the OpenAI Billing settings if you want a hard ceiling.

"Test connection" fails with an authentication error. The key was copied incompletely or was deleted. Create a fresh key and paste the whole thing.

The key saves but answers fail later. Usually billing — add a payment method or credits on the OpenAI platform.

You don't see the Connect AI step or Settings → Assistant. The assistant may not be enabled for your organization, or you may not have permission. Ask an admin.

{appName} in 60 seconds

This prototype demo is aware that you are reading “{title}”. It can point you back to the current article, but a production article-aware Fin contract is still follow-up work.

Prototype article-aware answer

Because you already asked about invitations, this prototype demo can add the follow-up: use the role selector before sending each invite to limit access to the teammate responsibilities.

Prototype role-limiting follow-up

This prototype demo suggests starting with your workspace profile, inviting the team members who need access, and then connecting the integrations you use.

Prototype getting-started answer

In this prototype demo, integrations are configured from workspace settings. Choose the integration, connect the account, and review the enabled permissions.

Prototype integrations answer

In this prototype demo, invite teammates from workspace settings, then choose the access each teammate needs before sending the invitation.

Prototype invite-team answer

This prototype demo does not have a scripted answer for that question yet. Try asking how to invite your team or open a source article. No production Fin API was called.

Prototype answer unavailable

I’ve got this page open. Ask me anything about it and I’ll answer from the docs.
