Introduction to OpenAI
Want to build a chat app or AI assistant on Magic Patterns? You can use our OpenAI integration to create fully functional AI apps that leverage the latest models from OpenAI, the same company that build ChatGPT.
Step by Step Tutorial
1
Create an OpenAI Account
Create a new OpenAI account if you don’t already have one.
2
Create a new OpenAI API Key
Magic Patterns uses the OpenAI API to communicate with OpenAI’s services.
Your API key is sensitive and should be stored securely—never share it
directly in prompts to Magic Patterns.You can create a new API key here.
3
(Optional) Set a usage limit
We highly recommend setting a usage limit on your OpenAI account. This
protects you from unexpected charges in case your API key is accidentally
exposed or compromised.
4
Enable the OpenAI Integration in Magic Patterns
Once you have your API key, enable the integration in Magic Patterns via the “Integrations” panel.

5
Prompt Magic Patterns to use OpenAI
By default, Magic Patterns will not connect to OpenAI. Once the integration is enabled, you can
prompt along the lines of “Connect this design to OpenAI” and Magic Patterns will then integrate your design.
Once a design is connected to OpenAI, anyone you share the design or preview
link with will be able to use the AI features. This will consume your OpenAI
API credits.
