Hi everyone!!! Thanks so much for the support.

I launched this at midnight prior to logging off and going to bed, funnily enough a massive storm hit us around 3am and I woke up and noticed my OpenAI account failed to fund lol. So we ran out of funds and it caused things to break for some of you.

Just waking up here on the East coast, once my daughter is occupied I will try to answer more of your comments!

We are at $100 usage since posting this haha. I will probably cap it at $500 for you guys

It would be nice to be able to play with one's own account, so it's not billing you.

I know there's a way to do this with A\ powered apps like this, I'm sure there must be for OAI?

(By the way, you're exposing the key. So anyone can just use up that key for their own nefarious purposes...)

Yes!! This was a plan I had, BYOK, Bring your own key

I may do this today

Instead of that, I would not put in my own key, you should get a brand partnership. Something like the Liquid Death Murder Your Thirst water brand. https://liquiddeath.com This would be perfect for them and paying for all the AI use would be nothing compared to their normal advertising. Win win.

Are you proposing a small add on the site? or does the AI agent do something like this:

"Hey give me a second to answer while I take a sip of this crispy liquid death, these killer cans of soda-style sparkling will attack your tastebuds with soda-level flavor and only 1/10th of the sugar."

"Drink verification can to continue"

"Please slurp as loud as possible into the mic"

Maybe play around with CPU inference on smaller models too. Frontier models are probably overkill for simple language responses at this point; I suspect you could get pretty good results with Qwen doing this, and Kokoro TTS is really good now.

Dude, just wanted to be sure you saw his comment about exposing your API key. You do not want to do that!

I think I replied to this, ephemeral secrets are minted per browser
