Build with Codex on your ChatGPT account

Sign in with your ChatGPT account and Flockbay’s chat runs on it, through the Codex engine that ships with the app. Any ChatGPT plan works, Free included.

Sign in

1. Open the model menu beside Send and choose the ChatGPT tab, or press Use your own AI in the usage gauge’s menu.
2. Press Sign in with ChatGPT and sign in on OpenAI’s page in your browser.
3. Back in Flockbay, the ChatGPT row shows your account and its plan. The chat now runs on it.

Flockbay keeps this sign-in in a folder of its own, apart from your Codex home, so a Codex you use in a terminal is left alone.

Which plans work

Every ChatGPT plan, Free and Go among them. Usage limits and the models each plan reaches are OpenAI’s call. When OpenAI turns an account away, a card tells you, with Upgrade ChatGPT.

Models and Effort

The ChatGPT tab starts with Default, the model your account picks, and then lists your account’s models. A model that can think longer shows Effort: Low, Medium or High.

Permissions

• Ask before edits: Codex asks before changing a file or running a command that changes anything.
• Game folder only: commands and edits run without asking, and can change files only inside this game’s folder and the folder Flockbay gives its tools.
• Full access: commands, reads and edits anywhere on the computer, without asking.

Whatever the mode, Flockbay’s tools for running the game, driving the Godot editor and using Blender go ahead without a prompt.

Sign out

To sign out, open Connectors and press Sign out on the ChatGPT row; the sign-in is deleted from this computer.

On a plan

Building on your own AI is free through your first build. After that it is part of Indie Developer and Studio, and of Hobby when you pick your own AI at checkout. An OpenAI API key is the other road to the same models, billed by OpenAI per token.
