Profile & your AI key

Profile is your account home: your name and email, your current plan, your password, a full export of your data, and — the part most people come here for — BYOK, where you connect your own AI key so the pipeline runs on it instead of spending coins.

The Profile page — an account card (name, email, plan, status), a Change Password card, a Data Export card, the Your AI Key (BYOK) card showing a connected provider and model with Test / Replace / Delete buttons, and a Delete Account card
Profile: account details, password, data export, your AI key (BYOK), and account deletion.

Account details

The top card shows your Name (click the pencil to edit it), your Email, your current Plan, and your account Status. Change Password opens a short form (current password, new password, confirm).

Export your data

Download My Data gives you everything on your account as a single JSON file — your right to data portability. It’s a plain download, no waiting.

Your AI key — BYOK

BYOK (“bring your own key”) lets you connect your own AI provider account. When a key is connected, your pipeline runs on it and no coins are charged — you pay your provider directly and choose exactly which provider and model to use. It’s the option for heavy users and anyone who wants full control over the model behind the writing.

To connect a key you fill three fields:

  • Providerchoose your own AI provider from the list of supported ones
  • Modelname the model you want to run (optional — leave blank for the provider’s default)
  • API keypaste your key; it’s stored encrypted and only ever shown masked afterwards

Once it’s connected, the card shows the provider, the model and your masked key, with three actions:

Test
runs a tiny call to confirm the key and model work
Replace key
re-enter the provider, model and a new key
Delete
remove the key — your pipeline goes back to spending coins
BYOK is a paid-plan feature. On a plan that doesn’t include it, the card shows an upgrade link instead of the key fields. Your key is stored encrypted, shown only masked, and can be removed at any time — deleting it simply returns you to running on coins.

Deleting your account

Delete Account permanently removes your account and all its data after a 30-day grace period. To guard against accidents you confirm by typing your own email address. Within the grace window you can still change your mind.
