AI Studio and OpenAI setup

Open AI on the left toolbar and choose AI Studio to propose an editable design or generate an engraving image. Review the result before inserting it. Drawing and offline editing tools work without an OpenAI key.

Set up your OpenAI API key

1. Close LaserStudio.
2. In Windows Start, search for Edit environment variables for your account.
3. Under User variables, choose New or edit an existing variable. Set the name to LASERSTUDIO_OPENAI_API_KEY and the value to your OpenAI API key.
4. Confirm the Windows dialogs and reopen LaserStudio. Go to AI → AI Studio. Provider configured means the app found the key. OpenAI checks it when you make a request.

Users supply their own key and OpenAI bills API usage separately from ChatGPT. Keep the key private. AI Studio expands the setup steps automatically when it can’t find a key.
