API Keys

API keys enable direct access to assistants via the API to implement integrations into third-party applications such as chatbots, helpdesk systems, or web portals. This allows the assistants configured in VARIOS AI to be seamlessly integrated into existing workflows.
Info: The VARIOS AI API is OpenAI compatible.
Note: Each API key requires its own license. Make sure that sufficient licenses are available for the planned integrations.
