    To use your own OpenAI API key with Clay, you need to be on a paid plan. The minimum tier required is the Starter plan, which costs $149/month. This applies to all AI models except Claygent. For other AI models besides Claygent, you can bring your own API key if you're on any paid plan (Starter, Explorer, or Pro). Remember, API key usage is not available on the free plan.

    To use your own OpenAI API key with Clay, you need to be on a tier 2 API key or higher. For reliable use, you'll need at least 30,000 tokens per minute (TPM) for ChatGPT columns, and 450,000 TPM for Claygent. The free plan or tier 1 won't support these requirements. You can check your current tier and upgrade if needed at the OpenAI platform website. Remember, Claygent specifically requires an OpenAI API key for use.

    Alex S. I would suggest a minimum of tier 2.

    To use your own OpenAI API key with Clay, you need to be on a tier 2 API key or higher. This is because Clay requires specific token per minute (TPM) rates for reliable use. For ChatGPT columns, you need at least 30,000 TPM, and for Claygent, you need 450,000 TPM. The free plan or tier 1 won't meet these requirements. You can check your current tier and upgrade if needed on the OpenAI platform website.
