AI use case

Lock down your AI keys in ten minutes

An AI service key works like a credit card for computing, so a leaked key can rack up a big bill fast.

How to do it

  1. Make a new key in each AI service you use and delete the old ones.
  2. Set a hard monthly spending limit in each service's dashboard.
  3. Give each bot or tool its own key, so one leak doesn't expose everything.
  4. Turn on usage alerts so you hear right away if spending jumps.
  5. @gregisenberg shared this checklist after reports that attackers went after AI keys stored on a hosting platform.
