AI Providers and Second Opinions

Included on Advanced

This document is open to every reader on every plan. Availability tells you what a plan includes; it does not decide what you may read.

What it is for

A second opinion asks another AI provider to read the same findings, with the same prompt and the same evidence, so that a disagreement is about the audit and not about the wording. This page is where you store the key for each provider; every call runs on your own key and your own quota.

How to use it

Open AI providers and choose the provider card you want to use.
Paste the "API key" from that provider's own console and choose a "Model", then press "Store key". Leaving the field empty later keeps the stored key.
Press "Load model list" to read the models your key can see, then test the connection once.
Ask for a second opinion from an audit; the result shows where the two readings agree and where they do not.

Reading the result

Each provider card shows its state: Connected, Key refused, Rate limited, Error, Untested or Not connected, with the last four characters of the stored key and when it was last tested. The model list shows only what the provider returned for your key and whether each model supports structured output.

What it cannot tell you

A second opinion is a reading, not a verdict: two models agreeing does not make a finding true, and it does not change your audits, scores or reports. A listed model proves only that your key can see it, not that it will answer; a test call spends a little of your provider quota.

What it keeps

Each key is sealed with AES-256-GCM, never shown again, never logged and never exported. Deleting it removes the ciphertext; the model list and test state are kept as plain metadata.
