There are two ways that Frontly leverages AI in our no-code platform:

  • To generate your apps and spreadsheets based on your plain-text prompt in our AI App Generator. This uses 1 token per app generation.

  • To generate text responses based on a prompt and your user's inputs using the OpenAI Request and Generate Records actions. These actions use 1 token per request.

Each app generation or OpenAI request consumes one AI Token from your monthly balance:

Each paid plan comes with a specific number of AI tokens that are replenished each month. If you run out of tokens, you may need to upgrade to another plan if you want to continue using AI tokens or wait until your tokens naturally replenish as days pass.


Using Your Own OpenAI Key

Through our Frontly Unlimited Lifetime Deal or the monthly AI Tokens upgrade, you can have your own OpenAI API key entered into Frontly to unlock additional benefits!

Click here to learn how to add your own OpenAI key to your Frontly account.

Once your own API key is added, all AI requests will be billed through your own credit card via your OpenAI account, and your usage limit within Frontly will be increased to 10,000 per month.

To purchase a higher AI token package, please contact our team directly at [email protected] or via live chat within the app.

An additional benefit of entering your own API key into the app is you'll have access to the premium OpenAI models such as GPT-4o.
