To use Bridge Author Pro’s AI features, you’ll need access to your organization’s OpenAI account (typically managed by your internal admin or IT team).
By using your organisation’s OpenAI key, your data remains governed by your existing agreement with OpenAI, and you retain control over your models, data privacy, and usage.
This guide walks you through setting up the correct OpenAI account, adding credits, connecting it to Bridge Author Pro, and managing your usage so you can start using AI seamlessly.
1. Create an OpenAI Account
A free ChatGPT account won’t work, you’ll need an OpenAI Platform account.

2. Click Log in at the top right of the page.
3. Select API Platform.
4. If you don’t already have an OpenAI account, click Sign up.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to create your account.
Tip: Make sure to use a valid email address and a strong password.
2. Buy Credits
Credits are required whenever you use Bridge Author Pro’s AI features.
- In your OpenAI account, go to Add Credits and select Go to Billing on the left-hand menu.
- Click Add Payment Details to enter your credit card information.
3. Once your payment method is added, click Add to Credit Balance to purchase credits.
Note: Credits expire 12 months after purchase.
3. OpenAI Pricing: What You’ll Pay
Credits are consumed as tokens whenever you use AI features in Gomo/Bridge Author Pro, including:
- Course translation

- Content review

In our tests, translating a course ranged from a few cents to a couple of dollars (USD), depending on course size and the number of languages.
