Bring your own key (BYOK) means your agents use your own provider accounts for the LLM, speech-to-text and text-to-speech, and Edesy charges a lower platform fee: from ₹1/min with all your own keys, ₹1.20/min with some, against the standard ₹1.50/min. For Google AI Studio (Gemini) you can add a pool of up to 10 keys, so calls fail over to another key when one hits its quota.

Platform fee with BYOK#
| Your keys | Platform fee per minute |
|---|---|
| All your own keys (LLM, STT and TTS) | From ₹1.00 |
| Some of your own keys | ₹1.20 |
| Standard BYOK platform fee | ₹1.50 |
Without BYOK, standard pricing applies: from ₹4/min on plans and credit packs, ₹6/min pay as you go.
Your providers bill you directly for their usage. Telephony is billed separately. See billing for plans and credit packs.
Add a key#
- Open Settings → API Keys (provider keys).
- Pick the provider and paste the key.
- Save. Keys are stored encrypted and shown masked after saving.
- Place a test call and check it in call history. If a key is invalid or out of quota, fix it in the same settings page.
Google AI Studio key pool#
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Keys per workspace | Up to 10 |
| Strategies | Priority (use keys in order) or Least busy (spread calls across keys) |
| Session cap per key | Pre-filled at 10 concurrent Live sessions, adjustable |
| Failover | A key that fails (for example quota exceeded) is skipped and cools down; the next key is tried |
Use a pool when you run many Gemini Live calls at once and a single key would hit its concurrent-session or quota limits.
FAQs#
Do I need keys for every provider? No. Bring keys only for the providers you want; Edesy provides the rest at the partial BYOK fee.
Can I see what I would pay with BYOK? Ask Copilot to estimate your BYOK per-minute cost, or see provider costs.
Are BYOK keys the same as vault credentials? No. BYOK keys are for AI and speech providers. The credential vault is for the APIs your custom functions call.
Can I use a pool for providers other than Google AI Studio? Not yet. Other providers take one key each.
