&lt;p&gt;To use &amp;ldquo;I am your AI,&amp;rdquo; you need an &lt;strong&gt;API Key from an AI provider&lt;/strong&gt;. This document explains what an API and API Key are, why it&amp;rsquo;s beneficial to use an API Key directly, and how to get one from each AI provider.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;API (Application Programming Interface)&lt;/strong&gt; is, simply put, &lt;strong&gt;a gateway for programs to communicate with each other&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>AI Services and Tools (2): OpenAI API Types and Usage</title><link>https://tedfactory.com/en/books/ai-for-startup/ai-services-and-tools-2/</link><pubDate>Sun, 04 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0900</pubDate><guid>https://tedfactory.com/en/books/ai-for-startup/ai-services-and-tools-2/</guid><description>&lt;h1 id="ai-services-and-tools-2"&gt;AI Services and Tools (2)&lt;a class="anchor" href="#ai-services-and-tools-2"&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this chapter, we briefly introduce the APIs provided by OpenAI, along with short explanations and example code for each. Even if you’re not a developer, if you understand the basic idea of what an API is, this chapter may help you get a rough sense of “what you can do” and set direction when you want to build a service using OpenAI’s APIs.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;AI providers such as OpenAI offer consumer-facing services like ChatGPT, but they also provide APIs to third-party developers, expanding the ecosystem. For startups, using an API instead of training your own model can be a very practical way to ship high-quality AI features quickly.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
