The current OpenAI integration is ChatGPT sign-in, available experimentally in the local Desktop demo build. It uses an eligible ChatGPT account; this page does not describe an OpenAI API-key connection.
Connect and test
- Open Integrations → ChatGPT and choose Continue with ChatGPT.
- Complete browser sign-in and review the requested app and plan permissions.
- Return to Desktop. Confirm Using ChatGPT plan, choose an available model and select Send test message.
- After a successful test, choose ChatGPT in the chat model picker. Enable the relevant Brand guide or Siteboard context and use Propose first to review edits.
The test uses your plan allowance and sends no project files. If Desktop says plan usage was not granted, review the connection permissions before trying again. Signing in alone does not confirm access to model replies.
Usage and connection
Requests count toward your existing ChatGPT plan limits. Connecting an app does not add an allowance or grant access to your ChatGPT conversations and memories. See OpenAI’s sign-in guide.
Use Manage usage for OpenAI’s account controls. Desktop keeps sign-in tokens in memory for this session; reconnect after restarting. Local conversation history remains when you sign out.
Image generation needs a separately connected image provider. For Desktop’s current image-generation route, connect OpenRouter.
