Bring Your Own AI Key: Why You'll Never Pay an AI Markup Again

What 'bring your own AI key' actually means — and how it stops you from paying a markup on top of what your AI provider already charges.

By RAUM AI Team

The Hidden Cost of AI

Most AI support tools charge you twice:

  1. Platform fee: For the software itself
  2. AI markup: An additional 50–200% on top of what AI actually costs

That "$0.50 per ticket" fee often hides ~$0.10 in actual AI cost. The rest is markup.

A simpler model

Bring your own AI key is straightforward:

  • You create an account with OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google Gemini
  • You give RAUM the API key
  • You pay your AI provider directly, at their published rates
  • RAUM charges only for the platform — not for the AI

What you get

With RAUM's pricing model:

  • Unlimited Copilot use: AI assists never count against your monthly quota
  • Transparent costs: You can see exactly what you're paying your AI provider
  • Provider flexibility: Switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini whenever you like
  • Your data, your account: Your tickets and prompts run through your own AI account

Getting started

  1. Create an account at OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google
  2. Generate an API key
  3. Paste it into RAUM
  4. Start resolving tickets

No markup. No surprises.
