# OpenAI cost tracking

Sumloop pulls OpenAI cost on a schedule and puts it in the same ledger
as every other vendor a team pays.

## How to connect OpenAI

1. As an organization owner, open the OpenAI platform > Settings > Organization > Admin keys.
2. Create an admin key (`sk-admin-…`) — a regular API key cannot read usage/costs.
3. Copy the key and paste it below.
