# Add AI Model and chat with your data

{% hint style="info" %}
An [OpenAI API Platform](https://platform.openai.com/) account and API key is required.
{% endhint %}

### Adding a Model Provider

1. Navigate to **Code** tab.
2. In **Components** sidebar, click **Model Providers** tab, and select **OpenAI**.
3. Enter the **Model name.**
4. Enter the **Model ID**, (e.g. `gpt-4o`).
5. Set the **OpenAI API Key** secret
   1. API keys and other secrets are securely stored and encrypted.
6. Insert `tools: auto` in the `params` section of the `gpt-4o` Model to automatically connect datasets to the model.\
   \
   The final Spicepod configuration in the editor should be as follows:

```yaml
name: my-first-app
kind: Spicepod
version: v1beta1

datasets:
  - from: s3://spiceai-demo-datasets/taxi_trips/2024/
    name: samples.taxi_trips
    description: Taxi trips dataset from Spice.ai demo datasets.
    params:
      file_format: parquet

models:
  - from: openai:gpt-4o
    name: gpt-4o
    params:
      endpoint: https://api.openai.com/v1
      openai_api_key: ${secrets:OPENAI_API_KEY}
      tools: auto
```

7. Click **Save** in the code toolbar and then **Deploy** in the popup card that appears in the bottom right to deploy the changes.
8. Navigate to **Playground** and select **AI Chat** in the sidebar.
9. Ask a question about the NYC Taxi Trips dataset in the chat. For example:
   * "What datasets are available?"
   * "What is the average fare amount of a taxi trip?"

### \[Optional] Call chat completions API using cURL

10. Replace `[API-KEY]` in the sample below with the app API Key and execute in a terminal.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="cURL" %}

```sh
curl --request POST \
      --url 'https://data.spiceai.io/v1/chat/completions' \
      --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
      --header 'X-API-KEY: 31393037|8f2f6125e7b8487f80964041c123d3c3' \
      --data '{ "messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "Hello!" }], "model": "gpt-4o" }'
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

🎉 Congratulations, you've now added an OpenAI model and can use it to ask questions of the NYC Taxi Trips dataset.
