Set up AI API keys

Account & SecurityUpdated Mar 15, 2026~1 min read

AI features like Scout Chat, Resume Tailor, Interview Prep, and AI Draft require your own API key from OpenAI, Anthropic, or Grok.

How to configure:

  1. Go to Settings > Preferences
  2. Choose your AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Grok)
  3. Paste your API key
  4. Optionally select a specific model

Key security: Your API keys are stored in localStorage only and are never synced to Supabase. They stay on your device.

Which provider to choose:

  • OpenAI: Best for resume tailoring and general tasks
  • Anthropic: Best for nuanced coaching and conversation
  • Grok: Alternative with competitive pricing

If no key is configured, AI-powered buttons (AI Draft, Suggest, etc.) are hidden and the app works normally without them.
