Bring Your Own AI lets you connect an AI provider that your organization manages to AI Studio. Configure the provider on the warehouse Source Connection that AI Studio uses.

Prerequisites

Before you start:

• Your organization has AI Studio enabled.
• You have permission to edit the warehouse Source Connection.
• You have the provider credential your organization has approved for AI Studio.
• You are configuring a warehouse source, not a real-time source.

Choose your AI provider

Select the provider that your organization wants AI Studio to use.

In LLM Settings, the Vertex AI option appears as Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform (formerly Vertex AI).

OpenAI API key

Enter an OpenAI API key directly in LLM Settings. Do not upload an OpenAI credentials file.

Vertex AI service account JSON

Upload the original JSON key file for the Google Cloud service account that your organization uses with Vertex AI. Create and download the key from Google Cloud. Do not create the file by hand or upload a file from another Google Cloud project.

The JSON file contains the service account identity and private key, including fields such as type, project_id, private_key, client_email, and token_uri.

Cortex AI credentials JSON

Upload a JSON object with the Snowflake connection information AI Studio needs to use Cortex AI:

{
  "snowflake_account": "your-organization-your-account",
  "snowflake_username": "your-service-user",
  "snowflake_password": "your-password",
  "snowflake_database": "your_database",
  "snowflake_schema": "your_schema",
  "snowflake_warehouse": "your_warehouse",
  "snowflake_role": "your_role"
}

snowflake_role is optional. The remaining fields are required. Use the Snowflake account identifier for snowflake_account, not a Snowflake URL. Do not include the .snowflakecomputing.com suffix.

Ask your Snowflake administrator for an approved service user, password, role, database, schema, and warehouse. Do not wrap these values in a credentials object or add a default_llm_gateway field. GrowthLoop adds that information when it saves the configuration.

Set up Bring Your Own AI

1. In GrowthLoop, click Settings in the left sidebar, then open Organization.
2. Open Source Connections.
3. Select the warehouse Source Connection that you use with AI Studio.
4. Open LLM Settings.
5. Select OpenAI, Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform (formerly Vertex AI), or Cortex AI.

6. Add the credential for your selected provider:
   • For OpenAI, enter the API key.
   • For Vertex AI, click Upload File and select the approved Google Cloud service account JSON key.
   • For Cortex AI, click Upload File and select the Snowflake credentials JSON file described above.
7. Click Save Settings.

GrowthLoop stores the credential securely and shows the selected provider for the source connection. The credential is not shown again after you save it.

Confirm the setup

Return to LLM Settings and select the provider you configured. GrowthLoop shows API key is configured for OpenAI or Credentials are configured for Vertex AI and Cortex AI.

Then open Studio, select a dataset group that uses the configured source connection, and start a conversation. This confirms that AI Studio can use the selected provider. Review AI Studio output before you use it to create or update an audience.

Update your provider or credential

To change the provider or replace its credential, return to LLM Settings, select the new provider, add its credential, and click Save Settings. You can use the same steps to replace an OpenAI API key or upload a new JSON credentials file.
