Why Knowledge needs an API key?

To use Knowledge, you’ll need to connect your own OpenAI API key.

This is because AI is used at multiple points: uploading assets, searching information, retrieving outputs during search, and using Knowledge within SurgeGraph Vertex.

Currently, Knowledge only supports OpenAI, as Gemini does not support embeddings, which are required for search functionality.

You can specify which OpenAI model to use for search operations (e.g. GPT-4.1, 4o, 4o mini).

If you haven’t connected your API key yet, you can read the article or watch the tutorial video for step-by-step guidance. Then, you can add your OpenAI API key here.

Note: The API key is only used for uploading assets and querying your library. It will not be used when generating articles with knowledge enabled (using writing credits).
