Why bring my own AI key instead of using a built-in one?

Bring-your-own-key (BYOK) keeps you in control of the AI relationship. You use the model you trust, you see your own usage and billing, and there's no opaque markup hidden in your subscription.

It's also a privacy stance. With your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google key, your keys are encrypted at rest and your prompts are never stored or used for training. Your data is yours, your money path is yours, and your AI keys are yours — the same ownership philosophy runs through the whole product.
