## Adding OpenAI Credentials

You can add OpenAI credentials by navigating to the **Providers** page under **Settings**.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Configure Provider Name">
    Click on the plus (+) icon.

    * Enter a unique **Name** for your OpenAI configuration (e.g., "OpenAI-Dev").
    * This name will be used as a prefix in the model dropdown to help you identify which provider configuration to use. The name appears as "OpenAI (your-name)::" before each model name.
    * It makes it easy to distinguish between multiple OpenAI accounts like "OpenAI-dev" and "OpenAI-prod" setups.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter API Credentials">
    Add your **API key** in the required field.

    * Optionally, you can specify a custom **Base URL** if needed (defaults to [https://api.openai.com/v1](https://api.openai.com/v1) if left blank).
    * You can also add a **Description** to help identify the purpose of these credentials for future reference.
