# Setting up an AI Connector

{% hint style="info" %}
Tracy Social AI supports OpenAI for AI integration. While it is possible to integrate other AI providers, we recommend OpenAI for the best experience. If you need help integrating a differen AI provider, contact us for help at [yansalabs.com/support](https://www.yansalabs.com/support).

* **Endpoint**: AI connector API endpoint URL. Typically, this will be *<https://api.openai.com>*
* **Default**: Determine if this is the default [AI provider](/tracy-social-ai/technical-docs/getting-started/setting-up-an-ai-connector/ai-providers.md) for all new **Social Posts** (*Note: This can be overridden on a Scheduler or Social Post*)
* **AI provider**: The [**AI Provider**](/tracy-social-ai/technical-docs/getting-started/setting-up-an-ai-connector/ai-providers.md) being connected to
* **Allowed models**: [**AI Models**](/tracy-social-ai/technical-docs/getting-started/setting-up-an-ai-connector/ai-models.md) that are allowed for use with this connector. Use this to limit the selections available to users and, thus, to limit spend on AI costs.
* **Default model**: The default [**AI Model**](/tracy-social-ai/technical-docs/getting-started/setting-up-an-ai-connector/ai-models.md) for all new **Social Posts** (*Note: This can be overridden on a Scheduler or Social Post*)
* **Token**: API token for authentication to the [AI Provider](/tracy-social-ai/technical-docs/getting-started/setting-up-an-ai-connector/ai-providers.md). Typically, this is available at <https://platform.openai.com/api-keys>
