# OpenAI

> OpenAI is a built-in integration for Home Assistant. It has 23.9k installs sharing analytics and needs the vendor's cloud.

OpenAI is a built-in Home Assistant integration that connects Home Assistant to the OpenAI cloud service. It relies on the vendor's cloud, so a working internet connection is needed for it to function. Setup happens in the interface and asks for an OpenAI API key. Connection settings can be changed later without removing the integration. It can also show notices under Settings, Repairs, including one that says organization verification is required.
