BYOK — Bring Your Own API Key

What BYOK is

BYOK — Bring Your Own API Key — is a Pro feature that lets you plug your own AI provider key into CreatorFlow for premium-model generation. Six providers are supported:

• Claude
• ChatGPT
• Gemini
• Grok
• Mistral
• Meta Llama

With BYOK active, your generation runs against your own key, and you pay the provider directly for that usage — it's between you and your provider, not part of your CreatorFlow subscription. We never see or store your keys.

Adding a key

Paste your key into CreatorFlow's BYOK setting. Make sure you copy the entire key — a truncated key is the most common cause of an "Invalid API key" error — and confirm the key is active in your provider's dashboard.

Billing and credits

Because BYOK billing is direct, CreatorFlow can't see or manage your provider balance. If you hit an "Insufficient credits" error, check your billing status in your provider's dashboard — topping up there resolves it.

When you don't need it

BYOK is optional. Without a key, RizBop's generation works out of the box on both Free and Pro — BYOK is for creators who specifically want their own provider account behind the generation.
