This is required for all content generation features. ### Which OpenAI models are supported? The plugin supports GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini, and GPT-3.5-turbo. GPT-4o-mini offers the best balance of quality and cost for most users. ### How much does it cost to generate articles? Costs depend on the OpenAI model and article length. Approximate costs with GPT- 4o-mini: * Content plan (5 articles): ~$0.02 * Single article (medium length): ~$0.05-0.10 * Batch generation (5 articles): ~$0.25-0.50 GPT-4o costs approximately 10x more but may produce higher quality content. ### Do I need the Serper API for the plugin to work? No, the Serper API is optional. Without it, research steps in workflows will be skipped. The core content generation features work with just the OpenAI API. ### Can I customize the writing style? Yes! You can: * Select from preset tones (professional, casual, friendly, etc.)* Provide custom style instructions * Use the style analyzer to match existing content* Create custom refinement steps in workflows ### How do I create a workflow? 1.
