How to use the OnlineCourseHost's OpenAI Integration
In today's fast-paced educational landscape, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) can significantly enhance the learning experience.
This is why we have the OnlineCourseHost AI Assistant that helps course creators with every step of their course creation journey. Please, refer to this help document for more information about the AI Course Creation Assistant.
However, for course creators who want to customize their AI, OnlineCourseHost has provided an avenue for them to be able to configure their own AI model for AI-related tasks, through the use of the OpenAI Integration.
With this, course creators can control the behavior of the AI. They can also choose a specific AI model or set its temperature.
To use the OpenAI Integration, login to your website => click Admin => Integrations => scroll down to OpenAI Integration => enter your OpenAI API Key, and Organization ID => select your Model => adjust the Temperature => and click Activate.
OpenAI API Key
The OpenAI API key is a unique identifier that allows you to access OpenAI's models through the API. To get your API key, please follow the steps in this link: How to get your OpenAI API key.
OpenAI Organization ID
The organization ID is the unique identifier for your organization which can be used in API requests. Kindly follow the steps in this link to get your organization ID: Get your OpenAI Organization ID.
OpenAI Model
The OpenAI API comes with a diverse set of models with different capabilities and price points, which can be customized further in your OpenAI dashboard. Therefore, the API Key and Organization ID retrieve the list of models available in your account.
Determining Temperature
The OpenAI API comes with a parameter called temperature, which controls how predictable or random a model's responses will be.
This means that the lower the temperature, the more predictable the AI Assistant will be, and the higher the temperature, the more unpredictable the AI Assistant will be.
The temperature value on OpenAI ranges from 0 to 2. The temperature on OnlineCourseHost is automatically set to 0, but your API key will determine the highest point you can go. When you input your API Key, the automatically set temperature will change from 0, depending on what has been set up by the organization.
Please, note that you can always readjust your temperature regardless.
What happens after I input all the requested values?
After inputting the API Key and Organization ID, you will be prompted to check if the information is correct, so click Check.
After checking, you will be able to select your OpenAI Model. Afterward, click Activate.
Note: To change the model or temperature, you need to deactivate the integration => make your changes => and reactivate it.
What if I no longer want to use the OpenAI Integration?
To revert to our default AI Assistant, just go back to Admin => Integrations => scroll down to OpenAI Integration => and Deactivate it.
What if I don't have an OpenAI account? Does that mean I can't use the AI Assistant?
Not at all! The OpenAI integration is not compulsory; it is just for course creators who want to control the behavior of the AI further. If you do not have OpenAI, our default AI Assistant (Owlie) is always available.
Note: You can use the same OpenAI API Key and Organization ID for multiple custom domains, if you have more than one academies.
