Step 4: Creating the API Key
A API Key is a unique key that allows authentication and secure communication between the ByteGPT and OpenAI, ensuring that only authorized users can access and use the API.

If necessary, you can revoke an existing API key to disable its access. It is recommended to do this if the key has been compromised or will no longer be used.
Copy and store your API key in a safe place, see the example below:
Step 5: Creating and obtaining the Assistant ID
O Assistant ID is the unique assistant identifier created in OpenAI, specific to each virtual assistant instance configured to interact with users through the ByteGPT.

O Assistant ID is typically provided on the Wizard configuration page or overview dashboard.
For configuration and testing, click the Assistant desired and, after filling in the configuration fields, click Test, on the top right button, as shown in the image below, to test it.
