Connecting a tool with your own key
Plug in an outside tool, like maps, text messages, or Slack, by pasting its key in one safe place.
3 min de leituraSometimes you want to connect a tool you already use, like a mapping service, a text-message provider, Slack, or your own OpenAI account. Most of these give you a secret key that unlocks access. You add that key once, in a safe place, and your app can use the tool.
What a key is
A key is a long private password from the other service. It should never be typed into a chat message or shown on a page. AyoSpeed IDE stores it securely for you and only ever shows the last few characters so you know it is saved.
How to add one
- 1
Get the key from the other service
Sign in to that tool and copy the key it gives you, often called an API key.
- 2
Open Connect a service
Inside your project, click the Connect a service button (the plug icon) in the top toolbar.
- 3
Choose the tool and paste your key
Pick the service you want, such as OpenAI, Slack, text messages, maps, or a webhook, then paste your key into its form and save.

Tell AyoWizzy what to connect
Describe what you want the tool to do, and your app will use the key you saved.
Add keys only through Connect a service. Never paste a key into a chat message, as that is not a safe place for private information.
