Autocloz + OpenAI
OpenAI powers Autocloz's AI features when you paste your own API key. Autocloz calls OpenAI on your behalf for things like drafting replies, summarising threads, and assisting on leads — billed to your OpenAI account, not ours. Because the key is yours, you control the model, the spend, and the data boundary.
What you can do with OpenAI
OpenAI plugs into the AI replies & summaries stack — bring your own api key, scoped to your workspace.
AI-drafted replies
Generate on-brand reply drafts inside the inbox using your own model key — you review and send, nothing goes out automatically.
Thread + lead summaries
Condense long email or chat threads into a quick summary so you can pick up a conversation without re-reading everything.
Your key, your spend
AI usage bills directly to your provider account. Swap models or rotate the key any time from settings — the workspace stays in your control.
How to connect OpenAI
Bring your own API key — you keep control of the account, the spend and the data boundary.

Add the key in Settings
Open Settings → AI, select OpenAI, and paste the key. It is stored scoped to your workspace and used only for your AI requests.

Pick where AI assists
Enable AI replies and summaries where you want them. You always review AI output before anything is sent — there is no silent auto-send.
