🤖 OpenAI Integration Setup Guide
🚀 Real AI is Now Implemented!
Your sales page builder now has real OpenAI GPT-4 integration for AI content analysis. Here's how to set it up:
📋 Setup Steps
1. Get Your OpenAI API Key
- Go to OpenAI Platform
- Log in to your OpenAI account
- Click "Create new secret key"
- Copy the key (starts with
sk-...)
2. Create Environment File
Create a file called .env.local in your project root:
# OpenAI Configuration
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your_actual_api_key_here
# Existing environment variables (if you have them)
NEXTAUTH_URL=http://localhost:3000
NEXTAUTH_SECRET=your_nextauth_secret_here
MONGODB_URI=your_mongodb_connection_string_here
3. Restart Your Development Server
npm run dev

- Long Page (30+ blocks): ~$0.008-0.015
Monthly Estimates (100 analyses)
- Light Usage: ~$0.50-1.00
- Regular Usage: ~$1.00-3.00
- Heavy Usage: ~$3.00-8.00
Cost Optimization Tips
- Use AI analysis for final review, not every edit
- GPT-4o-mini is 20x cheaper than GPT-4
- Usage tracking helps monitor costs
- Fallback ensures it works without API
🛠️ Troubleshooting
Common Issues
"OpenAI API key not configured"
- Check your
.env.localfile exists - Verify
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...(no quotes) - Restart your dev server
"Invalid OpenAI API key"
- Verify your API key is correct
- Check if it starts with
sk- - Ensure your OpenAI account has credits
"OpenAI API quota exceeded"
- Check your OpenAI billing dashboard
- Add payment method or increase limits
- The system will fallback to local analysis
Analysis takes too long
- GPT-4o-mini usually responds in 2-5 seconds
- Check your internet connection
- Verify OpenAI API status
📊 Usage Monitoring
Check your browser console for usage logs:
AI Analysis Usage: {
model: 'gpt-4o-mini',
timestamp: '2024-01-15T10:30:00.000Z',
responseTime: '3200ms',
promptTokens: 450,
completionTokens: 280,
totalTokens: 730,
estimatedCost: '$0.000109'
}
🎯 Next Steps
- Set up your API key (most important!)
- Test with sample content to see AI in action
- Monitor costs in your OpenAI dashboard
- Enjoy AI-powered sales optimization! 🚀
🔒 Security Notes
- ✅ API key is server-side only (not exposed to browser)
