Bring your own keys

    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.

    How it works
    1

    Choose provider

    Use only the external services needed for your workflow.

    2

    Add key

    Save credentials in the workspace integration settings.

    3

    Test health

    Confirm the connection before starting a paid task.

    4

    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.

    Provider-owned account
    Connection health
    Explicit task execution
    No unverified included-usage claim

    Questions 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.

    Turn evidence into the next useful action

    Connect your site and let BeKnow show what deserves attention first.
