FAQ:

I already have a paid subscription to ChatGPT. Do I still need to open an API account?*

Yes, having a ChatGPT subscription is separate from obtaining API access. To use heyLevi, you will need to open an API account with OpenAI. While you may maintain a ChatGPT subscription, it's important to note that API access and subscription plans are distinct. On the positive side, once you start using heyLevi, you may find that a paid ChatGPT subscription is no longer necessary.
