Difference Between ChatGPT and OpenAI Platform Accounts
The account you use for chatgpt.com is separate from platform.openai.com. To build automations or agents, you must register at platform.openai.com to obtain API access.
API Credit Requirements
API Key usage is generally not free and follows a usage-based pricing model. Ensure you have added a balance or 'Credit' to your OpenAI Billing account so your agent can function without interruption.
