Prezence AI leverages the power of Large Language Models (LLMs) for features like AI-assisted messaging and content analysis. While we provide a default AI model, you have the option to connect your own API keys from providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google.

​
Why Bring Your Own Key?

  • Control Your Costs: Pay your provider directly for your usage.
  • Choose Your Preferred Model: Use the specific model that you find works best for your needs (e.g., GPT-4, Claude 3).
  • Higher Rate Limits: Benefit from any higher rate limits associated with your personal or business account.

​
How to Add Your API Key

  1. Navigate to Settings: Go to Settings > LLM Configuration.
  2. Select Your Provider: Choose the LLM provider you want to use from the dropdown menu.
  3. Enter Your API Key: Paste your API key into the secure input field.
  4. Save and Test: Click “Save & Test Connection”. Prezence AI will make a small test call to ensure the key is valid and working.
Your API keys are stored securely and encrypted. Never share your API keys publicly.

Cost-Effective LLM Options

The video demonstrates how to set up your LLM configuration with a focus on cost-effectiveness:
  1. Available LLM Providers:
    • OpenAI
    • Anthropic
    • Open Router (recommended for cost efficiency)
  2. Why Choose Open Router:
    • Access to multiple models (including Anthropic, Claude, etc.) through a single API
    • Pay-as-you-go pricing with minimal markup (approximately 6%)
    • Access to more affordable models like Maverick/Llama
  3. Cost Examples:
    • Using cost-effective models can keep expenses very low (e.g., less than $1/week with regular usage)
    • Pricing comparison: Maverick costs approximately 15¢ per million input tokens and 60¢ per million output tokens
    • More expensive models like Claude might cost roughly 10x more
  4. Getting Started:
    • Create an account with your preferred provider
    • Generate an API key
    • Add the key to your Prezence AI settings
This configuration allows Prezence AI to use your preferred LLM for lead scoring, message generation, and other AI-powered features.
