Step 1 API keys

Two providers, two accounts, two keys. One OpenAI key is enough — it powers both ChatGPT text and ChatGPT image generation.

Free tier on Google AI Studio is enough for typical agency volume — no credit card needed.

One key, two uses: ChatGPT text drafts (Step 2) and ChatGPT image generation (Step 3). Costs roughly ₹500 / month at typical use.

Step 2 Text generation

Pick which provider drives the ✨ AI button in the post editor. You can swap any time.

Step 3 Image generation

Pick the image provider — OpenAI (DALL-E / GPT Image 1) or Google Gemini (Imagen 3). Both use the key you saved in Step 1. Generated images land in /storage/ai_generated.

Default quality

Default size

Quality applies to OpenAI only. Gemini Imagen translates the size into the closest aspect ratio (1:1 · 3:4 · 4:3).
Cost: gpt-image-1 ≈ ₹2 (low), ₹4 (medium), ₹15 (high) at 1024×1024 · Imagen 3 ≈ ₹3 per image (paid Gemini tier required).

What you can do once connected

Generate post drafts — open any post, click ✨ AI, type a topic.
Match brand voice — the active provider reads each project's notes + last 3 posts as style reference.
Generate images — in the post editor, click 🎨 Generate image and describe what you want; result auto-fills the media field.

Security

Keys are encrypted at rest (Laravel encrypted cast keyed off APP_KEY).
The API never returns saved keys — only whether one is set.
Only super-admins can read/write this page.

GPT-4o-mini text → ~₹0.05 per post.
