A: Hi @MarianZ , thanks for your question!

Release0 is designed around BYOK (Bring Your Own Key). This means that, to use any AI blocks, you need to connect your own API key from the LLM provider you choose (for example OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, DeepSeek, etc.).

Currently we don’t bundle our own AI models for production use. All the intelligence and token billing stay on your provider’s side, so you’re never locked into our pricing and you control cost and model selection completely.

That said, there are many use cases where no BYOK is needed at all. For example, you can build agents that:
• Collect and store data (forms, ratings, lead capture)
• Send emails or trigger automations via HTTP/Webhooks
• Query or update Google Sheets, Supabase, NocoDB, etc.
• Run conditional logic or calculations

These workflows run entirely on Release0 and don’t consume any AI tokens.

So in short:
• For AI-based conversation/knowledge features → BYOK is required (you can choose the provider).
• For pure logic, data, or automation flows → BYOK is not required and you can build as much as you like with no AI restrictions.

You can explore both types of blocks in the editor here:

Hope this clarifies how it works!
