Hey @pierreto! ??
I’m sorry to hear you’re having a frustrating experience with SEO Engine. Let me try to help!
First, SEO Engine relies on AI Engine to query AI services like OpenAI (which seems to be the service you’re trying to use) to provide AI-based solutions for your SEO.
However, the error message you’re seeing is not coming from the plugins (neither SEO Engine nor AI Engine). It’s coming directly from OpenAI because you’re trying to query their API service without having your OpenAI account set up or funded properly.
AI Engine doesn’t come with pre-built AI models—you need to connect it to a service like OpenAI.
? You don’t need to subscribe to ChatGPT Plus to use the OpenAI API, but you do need to set up billing details on OpenAI.
? OpenAI operates on a pay-as-you-go model.
? ChatGPT Plus is a separate service for the ChatGPT app and is not required for API access—think of ChatGPT and OpenAI API as two different entities.
Please check the documentation—it explains everything and guides you to the correct OpenAI page to set up your account and add funds. Also, note that OpenAI is not related to us in any way.
Alternatively, AI Engine provides different environments like OpenRouter, which you can use for free with certain models, and it’s fully compatible with SEO Engine.
I hope this clears things up and helps you get the plugin working as intended. Before leaving a bad review, please consider using the help forum—we’re always here to guide you and help you get things set up. We do our best to provide high-quality, feature-packed plugins for free, and unfair reviews can be misleading to other users.
If you have any more questions or need further assistance, please let us know—we’d be happy to help!
