Select a model in Docs

GPT for Docs supports a range of models that you can use with your AI work in Docs. To help you find the model that offers the best balance of accuracy, speed, and cost for your use case, see our recommended models.

The available models depend on the API keys set for your current space. GPT for Docs gives you access to a default set of models available without API keys. To access additional models, set an API key for one or more AI providers.

As a general rule, OpenAI models are more reliable and less likely to decline prompts than models from other providers.

The following table lists our recommended models available without an API key.
