Q: How much does it cost to use this site?
A: The services on this site are provided free of charge but I gladly appreciate donations!
Q: How much will OpenAI charge me?
A: See here for OpenAI's current pricing information.
Q: Do you store my files/data?
A: It's completely up to you! There is a setting called "Save Generations", where the site will save all generated responses to a private directory only you know about. If you do not want the site to store any history, simply turn this option off in the settings page.
Furthermore, this site does not ask/store any personal information such as name, email, etc. Only your OpenAI API Key is needed to use the services on this site.
Q: Do you keep my OpenAI API key?
A: No. Your API Key is only saved in a session variable while you are logged in. The API Key gets sent to OpenAI's servers on every request for response generation purposes only. If you choose to save a history of generated responses (see above), the site uses a hash of your API key to identify your files and keep them private from others. You can delete all of your files at anytime.
Q: Can I have more than one OpenAI API Key?
A: Yes, you can create and delete API keys as much as you want. You can generate a key, use it once, then delete it. Please note if you choose to save generations on this site, the only way to access them is by using the same API key used to generate them. I have no way of recovering lost API key generations and generations get pruned after a long period of inactivity.
Q: Can I store unlimited files here?
A: No, our space is finite and as such every user has a quota. If your quota gets full, simply erase some of your old generations in order to reduce your quota usage. Our quota dynamically changes depending on overall usage but is usually around 128MiB a user. You can see your quota usage on the Settings page and on the Generations page.
Q: How can I use the generated responses?
A: Anyway you like! OpenAI generated responses are your creations and you can do what you please with them.
Text responses can be used for articles, poetry, books, newsletters, classroom instruction, etc. etc.
Image responses can be used as art, logos, advertisements, etc. etc.
The only limit is your imagination!

Q: So why this site?
A: When I first started experimenting with OpenAI, I wanted an automated way of saving my queries and responses at the lowest price possible. For image generation, the API lets you choose the number of images generated. Also, OpenAI's website version of Dall-E places a watermark on all generated images which may not be wanted.
Q: How do I check my OpenAI API usage and billing information?
A: You can go here to check your stats with a daily breakdown of usage and charges.
Q: What generation models are available here?
A: For images: Dall-E 2 as this is the only available image model so far.
For text:
- Davinci (text-davinci-003)
- Curie (text-curie-001)
- Babbage (text-babbage-001)
- Ada (text-ada-001)
Q: What size image responses are available?
A: 256px, 512px and 1024px (Note: all image responses are square.)
Q: How long are the text generated responses?
A: It's up to you. When you submit a text query you choose the response length via the "Max Tokens" setting. A token can be thought of a word or part of a word. For more on this, please see "Token" in the glossary below. Responses will never be over the Max Tokens setting.
Q: I submitted a query but did not get a response, what happened?
A: 99% of the time it is due to OpenAI censoring the query. This happens if you ask a naughty question or ask it to generate an illegal response. See OpenAI's usage policy here.
Another reason could be a simple network timeout. Try again in a few minutes.
OpenAI does not charge for these types of issues because there is no response.
Common Error Messages:
"Incorrect API key provided: KEYHERE. You can find your API key at https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys."
"Your request was rejected as a result of our safety system. Your prompt may contain text that is not allowed by our safety system."
Q: What is the maximum length of a query and or response?
A: From the OpenAI website:
"As a rough rule of thumb, 1 token is approximately 4 characters or 0.75 words for English text. One limitation to keep in mind is that your text prompt and generated completion combined must be no more than the model's maximum context length (for most models this is 2048 tokens, or about 1500 words)".
Q: What is your Warranty / Terms of Service?
A: I am not responsible for any harm that may come to you or your computer by using the services on this site.
You and you alone are responsible for the safety of your API key. Do not share your API key with anyone in order to keep your generations private and to avoid unauthorized charges.
I am not responsible for lost generations. Please save your API Keys in a secure location and save all generations to your prefered storage medium.
If you have a problem with any of the statements above, please do not use this service.
