LLM Accounts

Overview

LLM Accounts is where you configure the AI provider API keys that power transcription, analysis, embeddings, and reflections in your realm.

OpenAI

An OpenAI API key is required for core functionality:

• Transcription — Uses Whisper to transcribe audio and video signals
• Embeddings — Uses text-embedding-3-small to generate vector embeddings for semantic search

OpenAI can also be used for analysis and reflections if you do not configure a separate provider for those features.

Anthropic (Claude)

An Anthropic API key is optional. If configured, Claude can be used for:

• Analysis — Surface and structure analysis passes on your signals
• Reflections — AI-generated reflections at the signal, cluster, and shape levels

Provider Strategy

You can use OpenAI for everything, or split the workload between providers:

• OpenAI only — One API key handles transcription, embeddings, analysis, and reflections
• OpenAI + Claude — OpenAI handles transcription and embeddings (which require OpenAI), while Claude handles analysis and reflections

Choose the configuration that best fits your preferences and budget.

API Key Security

All API keys are stored encrypted in the database. They are never exposed in the browser or included in client-side responses. Keys are only decrypted server-side when making API calls to the respective providers.
