What is a Groq API key?
Groq is the AI service that powers OutstaFlow's voice transcription and AI features. Instead of routing your audio through our servers, you connect directly to Groq with your own free API key. This means better privacy — we never see your data.
How to get your Groq key (free)
- 1Go to console.groq.com and sign up (free, takes 30 seconds)
- 2Click "API Keys" in the left sidebar
- 3Click "Create API Key", give it any name (e.g. "OutstaFlow")
- 4Copy the key (starts with gsk_...) and paste it into OutstaFlow Settings
What does Groq cost?
