Do I need my own OpenAI or Gemini API key?

No. You do not need an API key from OpenAI, Google Gemini, Anthropic or any other AI provider. All AI requests run through your AlgoPoint AI account, and you pay with credits instead of separate AI bills.

• You do not sign up with any AI company and do not enter any AI key in the plugin.
• Each post rewritten with AI uses 1 credit. The headline, the article and the SEO data come from one AI request, so together they cost 1 credit.
• Posts published without AI use no credits.
• If an AI request fails, you are not charged for it.

Your balance is shown in the credit box at the top of the AI AutoPost screens and on your Dashboard at algopointai.com. See AI credits for how credits work.
