OpenAI

AI API key

Generate text, images, embeddings and speech from any Windmill script, flow or app — and point Windmill AI at the same key so the code assistant and AI agent steps run on your own OpenAI account.

Set up in 3 steps

Create an API key

In the OpenAI platform, open API keys and create a secret key. Copy it straight away — the key starts with sk- and is shown only once.

Add the resource in Windmill

Open Resources, add a resource of type openai, and paste the key. Leave organization_id and base_url empty unless you bill a non-default organization or route through a compatible gateway.

Point Windmill AI at it, or fork a script

In AI settings, at workspace or instance level, pick OpenAI as the provider and select the resource — the code assistant, the AI chat and AI agent steps then run on your key. The same resource feeds every script listed below.

Scripts

Building blocks, if none of the projects above fit. Fork one, run it, or call it as a step inside your own flow.

Field	Type	Required	What it is
api_key	string	Yes
organization_id	string	No	Only needs to be set for users who belong to multiple organizations and they want to use an organization other than the default one
base_url	string	No	Optional. Only needed to overwrite the default base URL.
