BYOK (Bring Your Own API Key): overview
BYOK lets you use your own AI provider accounts inside Youbooks.
This is useful if you:
- already have provider accounts you want to bill usage through, or
- want more control over which models are used for different steps.
How BYOK works in Youbooks
- You add provider API keys in your account settings.
- You set model preferences for different workflow steps (structuring, writing, editing, etc.).
- In the New Book form, enable Bring Your Own API Key.
- Your project runs using your configured providers.
