How to Obtain an OpenAI API Key

To use OpenAI's features within "ailia DX insight," you need to obtain an API key from OpenAI.
Furthermore, OpenAI sets rate limits, so it is recommended to raise the rate limit ceiling, especially if used by multiple people. This requires a certain number of days (minimum of 7 days) to pass, so prompt action is necessary.

1. Select "Sign up" from the OpenAI Platform.
   
   
2. Follow the prompts to enter your email address and password, then select continue.

4. In the launched browser, enter your "name," "organization name (optional)," and "date of birth," and after confirming the terms and privacy policy, select agree.
