The AI Assistant section under Manage Workspace › General sets the writing defaults every AI generation in this workspace inherits — Post Generator, AI carousels, and the in-editor assistant. AI Assistant section in workspace settings

​
Writing defaults

1

Pick a Language

English (US/UK) plus 90+ other languages.
2

Pick a Tone

Professional & Formal, Conversational & Friendly, Technical & Detailed, or Inspirational & Motivating.
3

Save Changes

Hit Save Changes at the bottom of the section.
A few post templates let you override language or tone for a single run. Everywhere else, these workspace defaults are what AI uses.
The same panel also has an AI Content Assistant toggle that powers the Curated Posts / Inspiration feed in the sidebar — see Curated Posts for that flow.

​
Bring Your Own AI Key (BYOK)

Below the AI Assistant section, BYOK lets you swap Carousify’s default AI for your own OpenRouter key — per workspace. Bring Your Own AI Key section showing the OpenRouter API key field
1

Get an OpenRouter key

Sign up at openrouter.ai, top up your account, and create a key (sk-or-v1-...).
2

Paste it into the BYOK field and save

Every AI request in this workspace now runs through your key — billed to your OpenRouter account, not Carousify’s. Rotate by pasting a new key; clear the field to fall back to Carousify’s default AI.

​
Why use BYOK

  • No AI word limits — usage is capped by your OpenRouter credit, not your Carousify plan
  • Pick the model — OpenRouter exposes Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, and dozens more
  • Compliance / billing — useful when a client wants AI requests routed through their own provider

​
Security

Your API key is encrypted at rest and never shown back in the UI after saving. Editing the field always replaces the stored key — Carousify never decrypts it.
BYOK is per workspace. Mix Carousify-billed AI in one workspace with your own key in another — handy if some clients pay for their own AI usage and others don’t.
