Use your own AI and data-provider accounts without paying hidden inference markup
Connect OpenRouter, DataForSEO, Firecrawl and supported providers so usage is billed by the provider you choose and controlled from your account.
Choose provider
Use only the external services needed for your workflow.
Add key
Save credentials in the workspace integration settings.
Test health
Confirm the connection before starting a paid task.
Control usage
Use provider dashboards and BeKnow status to understand cost ownership.
In short
BYOK means BeKnow uses an API key from your own provider account for the tasks you explicitly run. BeKnow stores credentials securely, reports integration health and does not pretend third-party usage is included in the platform fee.
What you get
More control over models, providers, limits and variable costs while BeKnow supplies the workflow and context.
The problem
Why this workflow exists
Bundled AI credits hide provider choice, model cost and the margin added by the software vendor.
Why it matters
Provider choice
Select the account and models you trust.
Transparent cost
Pay variable usage directly to the provider.
No forced bundle
Connect only what a feature requires.
Evidence BeKnow uses
BeKnow makes recommendations from connected evidence and shows when a required source is missing.

Learn moreQuestions before you connect
Does BeKnow see my provider password?
No. Integrations use API credentials, not the password used to sign in to the provider website.
Is every feature BYOK?
No. Each integration page states whether a provider is required, optional or only used for a specific on-demand task.
