This extension requires a personal OpenAI API key to function. The user must provide their own key from their OpenAI developer account. While creating an OpenAI account is free, using their API platforms to generate text completions is a paid (but very cheap) usage-based service billed directly by OpenAI. The extension itself does not collect any payments.
