in the top-right corner to navigate to the Settings page.
- Navigate to Workspace Settings > AI Tools.
- Click the Activate button to avail the AI tools securely.
Once done, the workspace owner can choose the required vendor for AI assistance.
Enable AI vendor
Only the workspace owner can enable the AI vendor. When the workspace owner enables the AI vendor, they need to decide whether they would like to share the API key with the workspace users or allow the workspace users to add their own API keys.
When the Self option is selected, the workspace users can add their own API keys and use the AI features.
To enable the AI vendor:
- Click
in the top-right corner to navigate to the Settings page.
- Navigate to Workspace Settings > AI Tools.
- Select the required AI vendor tab.
- Choose the API key scope; For Self or For Workspace.
- If you had selected For Self, click Enable.
API key can be configured later, when required. - If you had selected For Workspace, click Next and configure your API key.
Since the API key will be shared with workspace users, the API key should be configured right now. - Now, click Enable.
- Select the checkbox to confirm your action and then click Enable to enable the respective AI vendor.
Now, the selected AI vendor will be enabled for your workspace.
The chosen AI vendor will only be available for workspace users. The workspace users can access the AI vendor directly if the API key is shared by the workspace owner. If the workspace owner hasn't shared the API key with the users, then they can configure the AI vendor by adding their own API key.
Add API key
The workspace owner can choose whether the API key should be added individually by each user or if they prefer to share the API key with all users in the workspace. When the workspace owner has enabled an AI vendor and allows the users to add their own API key, the Add API key option will be available for the workspace users as well.
To add API key:
- Click
in the top-right corner to navigate to the Settings page.
- Navigate to Workspace Settings > AI Tools.
- Select the required AI vendor tab.
- Add the API key in the API Key text box. Click here to know how to generate API key.
- Workspace owner can update their API key scope anytime after enabling the AI vendor.
- API key isn't required if you are using our in-house AI assistant ZIA.
- Each user can add only one API key per vendor.
Generate API key
To generate an API key:
- Log in to the respective AI vendor.
- Go to the API Keys section.
- Create a new API key and copy it.
- Alternatively, copy an existing key.
- Paste the copied key in the API key field in Zoho Sprints.
Remove API key
- When the workspace owner removes a shared API key, it will prevent all workspace users from accessing the associated AI vendor.
- Workspace users who had added their API keys can delete their API key anytime.
- Deleting a workspace user from Zoho Sprints workspace will delete their API keys as well.
Data Privacy notice
When you enable an AI vendor with an API key, the consent form appears on-screen. Please read the consent form and the data sharing document to proceed with using the AI vendor within Zoho Sprints. Select the checkbox in the consent form to confirm your action and then click Proceed.
Note: Since the workspace owner has already accepted the data privacy notice for the shared API key, workspace users will have a seamless experience without needing to complete the consent form.
