OpenAI
Connect an OpenAI API account and select the model available to your account for supported editorial AI tasks.
Bring Your Own Key
Use the AI provider account you already control.
PressAI Pro connects to supported AI providers through your own account. You choose the provider, model and operating order; provider usage is billed by that provider to your account.
Supported connections
Choose the provider that fits your workflow.
Model availability, quotas and billing are controlled by your provider account. PressAI gives your editorial team one place to configure and use those connections.
Google Gemini
Connect a Gemini API key and use the models available under your Google AI account.
OpenRouter
Use OpenRouter as a provider gateway when you want access to models offered through your OpenRouter account.
Anthropic
Connect Anthropic directly for supported Claude models available to your account.
DeepSeek
Connect DeepSeek directly and use the models enabled for your provider account.
Provider order & controls
Configure provider order, model selection, timeouts and usage controls from PressAI settings.
Credential handling
Your API keys stay under your WordPress administration.
Saved provider credentials are encrypted locally and are not re-displayed after saving. PressAI uses them only when a configured workflow needs the corresponding provider.
- No bundled AI usage fee from PressAI.
- No requirement to share one vendor-owned AI key across customers.
- External requests occur only for providers and integrations you configure.
- Provider errors, quotas and rate limits remain visible as operational conditions.
What BYOK means in practice
You choose: provider, account, model and budget.
Your provider bills: API usage under your provider account.
PressAI coordinates: the editorial workflow around those calls.
Operational resilience
AI should be a controlled dependency, not a hidden single point of failure.
Visible failures
Provider errors and failed jobs remain inspectable so an editor can decide what to retry or change.
Human workflow remains
Source monitoring, evidence review and editorial decisions do not disappear simply because an AI request cannot run.
Change providers deliberately
Administrators can adjust provider order and models without rebuilding the editorial workflow around a different tool.
Connect AI after the editorial workflow is clear.
Start with sources and operating settings, then add the provider connections your team actually needs.
