​
Before you connect

You need an OpenAI API key.

Get your OpenAI API key from the dashboard
Never paste your API key directly into chat. Always use the secure connector popup. If your key is exposed, rotate it immediately from the OpenAI dashboard.
OpenAI is a task-level connector. Each Rocket task connects to its own API key independently.

Tips

  • API billing is separate. OpenAI charges based on token usage. Monitor your spending in the OpenAI usage dashboard.
  • Rate limits apply. New accounts have lower rate limits. Check your rate limit tier and request an increase if needed.
  • Token costs vary by model. Longer prompts and responses cost more. Keep system prompts concise and set reasonable max token limits.
  • OpenAI vs. Anthropic. GPT models excel at broad general-purpose tasks, function calling, and vision. Claude is better suited for long-context analysis and tasks requiring careful, detailed reasoning.
  • One API key per task. Each Rocket task connects to one OpenAI API key independently.

​
