[Enterprise] Bring Your Own OpenAI API Keys

You can connect your own OpenAI account with Vocode. With your own OpenAI account, you can use your own OpenAI models including custom, fine-tuned models!

NOTE: This feature is only enabled for users on an Enterprise plan.

​

Step 1: Add an OpenAI account connection

Vocode uses account connections to manage your account parameters and associate them with phone numbers and calls. You can add multiple account connections if you have multiple OpenAI accounts you would like to integrate. You can quickly add an account connection via our API by providing an OpenAI API key.

from vocode.client import Vocode

vocode_client.account_connections.create_account_connection(
    request={
        "type": "account_connection_openai",
        "credentials": {
            "openai_api_key": "YOUR_OPENAI_API_KEY",
        },
    }
)

create_account_connection will return the parameters for your new account connection, including an id, which is necessary for the following steps.

​

Step 2: Use the OpenAI account connection with your agent

To use the new account connection with your calls, you need to configure your agents with the account connection. You can do so when you create a new agent or update an existing agent via the openai_account_connection parameter.

vocode_client.agents.create_agent(
    voice="...",
    prompt={
        "content": "...",
    },
    openai_account_connection="YOUR_ACCOUNT_CONNECTION_ID",
)

Any calls with this agent will now use your OpenAI account.

​

Use your own OpenAI models

You can add your own OpenAI models to your agents using the openai_model_name_override parameter when creating or updating your agents. These models can be the base OpenAI models (e.g. gpt-3.5-turbo-1106, gpt-4) or your own fine-tuned models.

NOTE: A model name override can only be used if you add your own OpenAI account connection to the agent. Model overrides do not work when using Vocode’s OpenAI system.

vocode_client.agents.create_agent(
    voice="...",
    prompt={
        "content": "...",
    },
    openai_account_connection="YOUR_ACCOUNT_CONNECTION_ID",
    openai_model_name_override="ft:your_ft_model_name"
)

Now, your Vocode calls with this agent will use your own OpenAI account and your own OpenAI models!
