The tool needs an API key to talk to an AI model on your behalf. It never stores your key on any server — it lives only in your browser's local storage. Click the settings or model configuration area, pick your provider (OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek, etc.), and paste your key. You also choose which model to use for optimization and which to use for testing.
$ In the app: click Settings (gear icon) → select your AI provider → paste your API key → save.
What you should see
The model selector shows your chosen provider as active. No error message appears.
This might happen
The app shows an authentication error when you try to optimize.
Double-check that you copied the full API key with no extra spaces. Make sure the key has billing enabled on your provider's dashboard.
