3. Configure AI Settings in Pabbly Connect

Once your assistant is created, you will need to configure several important settings. Start by pasting your OpenAI API key into the designated field in Pabbly Connect. This key allows your assistant to utilize OpenAI’s capabilities.

Ensure that the file size is under 90 MB and in the correct format. In Pabbly Connect, click on the option to add a new file, then drag and drop your knowledge base PDF into the designated area. This upload process is straightforward and helps your assistant become knowledgeable about your offerings.
