Connecting an AI Model

Bring your own API key (BYOK) to enable AI recommendations, prompt automation, and AI Chat in the extension.

The extension uses BYOK, short for Bring Your Own Key. You connect your own AI provider API key. There are no extension-imposed usage limits, and you pay only for what you use, typically around $0.01–0.05 per page.

Every audit check works without AI. Connecting a key adds recommendations, one-click fixes, prompt automation, and AI Chat.

Keys are stored in your browser's encrypted storage. They never leave your device and never touch Digispot's servers. Calls go directly from your browser to the provider.

Supported providers

Connect any one of four providers with your own key: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google (Gemini), and DeepSeek. One provider is enough.

Each offers a range of models. There is a flagship tier for the deepest analysis, a balanced tier, and a fast, economical tier for high-volume auditing. Since you pay the provider directly, the model you pick sets your cost and speed.

Providers add and retire model versions over time. For that reason, the extension's model dropdown, not a fixed list, is the source of truth for exactly which models you can select today.

Get an API key

Create a key in your provider's console: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI Studio, or DeepSeek. Any one provider is enough.

The Config tab's AI Provider Configuration screen with Google Gemini configured and active, an edit form showing the provider, API key, model dropdown, and an Output Capacity slider from Brief to Comprehensive — Config → AI Provider — the model dropdown lists the exact models available for your provider, and the Output Capacity slider trades response length for cost.

Add it to the extension

Open the extension's settings, choose your provider, and paste the key.

Pick a model and detail level

Select any model from your provider's dropdown. Since you pay your provider directly, cost and speed depend on which model you choose. The Output Capacity slider sets how long each response runs, with four levels: Brief, Balanced, Detailed, and Comprehensive. Use it to trade depth against token cost.

AI Chat

Once a key is connected, AI Chat opens alongside your audit results with full context of the page's SEO data. That covers all 150+ results, including metadata, headings, content, schema, links, and Core Web Vitals.

Because it sees the actual audit output, answers are page-specific rather than generic:

"What are the top issues hurting my rankings?"
"Rewrite my meta description for higher CTR"
"Suggest internal linking opportunities"
"How do I fix this schema error?"

In SERP Intelligence mode, AI Chat answers questions about the search landscape and competitors instead.

Prompt automation

All 150+ audit results feed automatically into prompt templates you define. This lets you run repeatable analyses on any page with one click, without writing code or wiring up an external automation tool.

Template placeholders

Templates use placeholders that are replaced with the current page's data:

Placeholder	Inserts
`{{content}}`	Page content
`{{keywords}}`	Detected keywords
`{{headings}}`	H1–H6 structure
`{{metadata}}`	Title and description
`{{schema}}`	Structured data
`{{images}}`	Image analysis
`{{links}}`	Link data
`{{pagespeed}}`	Core Web Vitals

Each audit type has its own applicable placeholders. Write a template once, then reuse it across pages.

The Config Prompts tab showing the Prompt Templates library with 12 available templates — Content Audit, Heading Audit, Image Audit, Video Audit, Link Audit, Metadata Audit, Pagespeed Audit, Schema Audit, and more — each with a description and an edit control — Config → Prompts — each audit type ships an editable default template you can tune once and reuse across pages.

Good first templates: generate meta descriptions from page content, check search-intent match, or draft the missing schema for a page.

PageSpeed API key (optional)

Core Web Vitals come from Google PageSpeed Insights. The extension works without a key. Adding a free one from the Google Cloud Console removes rate limits and gives faster, more detailed analysis.

Like AI keys, it is stored encrypted locally and used only for direct calls to Google.

API keys are credentials tied to your billing. Treat them accordingly: do not paste them into shared machines, and rotate any key you suspect is exposed.
