To enable MyJobOutreach to generate scripts and perform advanced personalization, you need to link it with a ChatGPT API key. Follow these simple steps to generate your key and configure it in the application.
Step 1: Visit the OpenAI Platform
- Open your browser and go to platform.openai.com.
- Log in or click Sign Up to create a free account.
- Verify your email to finish registration.
Step 2: Add Billing Info
- Click your profile icon (top-right) → Your Profile.
- In the left sidebar, go to Billing.
- Add a payment method and top up your account.
- Tip: Adding $5–$10 is plenty to get started.
- OpenAI uses pay-as-you-go pricing (very low cost per request).
Step 3: Generate an API Key
- In the left sidebar, click API Keys.
- Click Create new secret key.
- Copy the key that appears — you won’t be able to view it again later.
Store it safely (e.g., in a password manager).
Step 4: Add the API Key to MyJobOutreach
- Open MyJobOutreach.
- Go to the Settings tab.
- Paste your ChatGPT API key into the field labeled ChatGPT API Key.
Final Tips
- Keep it private: Never share your API key — it gives access to your OpenAI account.
- Check credits: If something’s not working, make sure your billing is active and there are credits in your account.
- Paste carefully: If the key isn’t accepted, double-check for extra spaces or typos.
