# How to Integrate and Use ChatGPT AI Features in Customix

Customix now supports **ChatGPT AI Integration**, allowing you and your customers to automatically generate personalized texts directly inside the Customizer. This includes engraving ideas, message suggestions, captions, product descriptions, and many other AI-generated content options.
Below is a step-by-step guide on how to connect ChatGPT with Customix and how to use it in your store.

# 1. How to Get Your ChatGPT (OpenAI) API Key
To integrate ChatGPT, you will need your own **OpenAI API Key**.
### **Steps to get the key:**
* Go to: https://platform.openai.com/settings/organization/api-keys
* Log in with your OpenAI account.
* Click **Create new secret key**.
* Copy the key (it starts with `sk-...`).
⚠️ **Important:**
OpenAI will only show the key once. Keep it somewhere safe.

# 2. How to Integrate ChatGPT With Customix
* On the left sidebar, go to **Settings** section 
* Open the **Integrations** tab.
* Find **ChatGPT Integration**.
* Paste your **OpenAI API Key** into the field.
* Click **Save**.

Customix will start using your API key whenever AI text generation is triggered.

You can now configure the AI image generation settings for the GPT Image provider.
* **Model:** Select the GPT image model used for image generation.
* **Size:** Choose the output image size, or leave it as **Auto** to let the AI determine the most suitable size.
* **Quality:** Select the image quality (**Low**, **Medium**, or **High**) based on your preferred balance between speed and output quality.
* **Background:** Choose the background type for generated images. **Note:** Transparent backgrounds are only supported by compatible models (such as **gpt-image-1** and **gpt-image-1.5**). If the selected model does not support transparency, this option will be unavailable.
This allows you to optimize image generation based on your quality, performance, and compatibility requirements.

# 3. How to Use ChatGPT AI in Image Layers
* Open **Templates** and choose a product template
* Select an **Image Layer** then on the right panel, scroll to **AI Filter / AI Generator**
* Enable **Use ChatGPT AI Image Generation**
* Enter your **AI Prompt**, e.g.:
* “Turn this pet photo into a 3D Pixar-style cartoon.”
* “Convert the user’s photo into a watercolor landscape painting.”
* “Generate a Christmas-themed cartoon version of this dog.”
* “Re-draw this portrait in Studio Ghibli art style.”
When customers upload their image, the app will send the photo + your prompt to ChatGPT to generate a transformed AI image.

# 4. Can I Combine It with Other Image Effects?
**Yes.** ChatGPT can be combined with other Customix effects or other third-parties's effect such as Face Cutout, Background Removal, and more.
Also, if you enable **Run after Filters & Effects**, the AI image will be generated after other effects (like Background Removal, Face Cutout, Cartoonized filters…) are applied.
This ensures the AI works on the **cleaned and optimized version** of the customer’s photo, resulting in better and more accurate outputs.
The final AI-generated image will automatically replace the uploaded photo in the preview.
