One small thing: the API key
Your Ally has a brain in the cloud, and the API key is basically the house key that lets your Ally in to use it. It's just a short code you copy and paste once during setup. That's it.
You get the key from the company that runs the brain. You already know ChatGPT — OpenAI ↗ is the company behind it, and they provide that kind of service. We just use a plug from services like theirs to power our agents. The two we like right now:
- DeepSeek ↗ — our best-value pick. Smart and cheap — what we recommend for most people.
- OpenAI ↗ — the ChatGPT people. The premium option, and the one that also lets your Ally make pictures and graphics.
About cost: you only pay for what your Ally actually uses, and for normal everyday use we're talking pennies — usually less than a cup of coffee a month. Not a subscription on top of a subscription.
And down the road? If you ever want to use a different brain — Claude, Gemini, whatever comes next — your Ally can hook up to pretty much any provider. You're never locked in. But you don't need to think about that today.
Then what?
Once you've said hello, your Ally can start doing real work for you. The fastest way to see that is playbooks — ready-made missions you hand to your Ally, step by step, with you in control the whole time. But one thing at a time: get your Ally first.
