Cautionary Notes

  • Ensure that you copy the API key immediately after creation, as it will not be retrievable later.

  • Make sure to add a payment method and load credits before creating the API key to avoid any interruptions in service.

  • If you attempt to use the API key without sufficient credits, the API calls will not function.

  • Keep a secure document or password manager to store the API key safely after copying it.

  • Regularly check the usage section in your OpenAI account to manage costs effectively and avoid unexpected charges.

Selecting Models for Your Tools

  • Engine Flexibility: With FormWise, you can choose which engine your tools will run on at the tool level. For instance:

-Use GPT-3.5 for cost-efficient tasks.

-Use GPT-4 for more complex, high-level tasks.

  • This gives you control over which model fits the specific needs of each task within your FormWise tools.

No ChatGPT Plus Subscription Needed

You don’t need a ChatGPT Plus subscription to use OpenAI’s API. Once you have your API key, you can access the OpenAI models directly from FormWise—this operates independently from any ChatGPT subscriptions.

Pay-As-You-Go Pricing

OpenAI’s API operates on a pay-as-you-go model, meaning you only pay for what you use, for example:

  • For GPT-4 (with 8K tokens), it’s about $0.03 per 1,000 tokens (roughly 750 words for prompts) and $0.06 per 1,000 tokens for completions.

  • GPT-3.5 is more affordable, costing $0.002 per 1,000 tokens.

You also get $5 in free credits when you sign up, so you can start experimenting without immediate costs.

Stay Updated

New models and features come out regularly, so it’s always a good idea to check OpenAI’s pricing page to stay up to date with any changes.

This setup allows you to maximize flexibility and cost-effectiveness as you grow your FormWise tool usage!
