BYOK — OpenAI setup

Plug your OpenAI API key into Niyra. Two minutes, AES-256 at rest, used for embeddings, voice, image gen.

Steps

  1. platform.openai.com → API Keys → Create Key.
  2. Name it niyra-byok. Copy the key.
  3. Niyra: Settings → BYOK → OpenAI → paste → Save.
  4. Hit Test.

What it touches

  • Memory embeddings (text-embedding-3-small).
  • Voice realtime (when enabled).
  • DALL-E image generation (when you ask).

Chat reasoning stays on Anthropic unless you explicitly switch a conversation.

Rotation

Same as Anthropic — replace the key in the BYOK panel; old key overwritten in place.

FAQ

What's it used for?
Embeddings (memory + search), voice realtime, image generation. Niyra's chat reasoning runs on Anthropic by default.
Cost shape?
Embeddings are cheap (~$0.02 / 1M tokens). Voice realtime is the expensive piece; budget accordingly.
