# Configure API keys

Some Gclaw skills require external API keys to function. The Gclaw assistant adds API keys directly to the OpenClaw configuration when they are provided in the chat.

## Add an API key

To add an API key, paste it into the chat interface:

> "Add my OpenAI key: sk-abc123..."

The assistant stores the key in the instance configuration and confirms when it is set.
