How it works: The Personal API Key
BYOK means Bring Your Own Key: you provide your own AI API key. AIFORYA takes no margin on AI costs. This approach ensures full transparency, data sovereignty, and direct control over your spending.
BYOK: user's API key, full cost control
0% margin on AI, absolute transparency
Anonymity and factual truth by design
Create your AI account
Create an account with Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. Each provider supplies an API key after registration.
Add your key in AIFORYA
From My account, paste your API key. It is encrypted (AES-256-GCM) before storage and is never exposed outside of its secure vault.
Use the extensions
Extensions that require AI use your key directly. The calls go through your AI account. You see every expense on the provider's invoice.
Zero margin, zero intermediary
AIFORYA does not charge an AI subscription or commission. Your provider's bill reflects your actual consumption.
The Benefits of a Personal API Key
- Total transparency: you see exactly what each extension consumes.
- Data sovereignty: AI calls do not transit through AIFORYA's servers.
- Cost control: you set the limits directly with your AI provider.
- No lock-in: switch AI providers by simply replacing the key.
