API Providers

60 Minute Creator does not charge you for AI generation. Instead, you connect your own Atlas Cloud key, and the app runs your workflows on that key. This page explains how to set it up.

Atlas Cloud

Everything runs on Atlas Cloud: LLM (text), the Agent, Image Generation, Video Generation, Voice Generation, Lipsync, Influencer Studio and Creative Studio. One key covers all of them, and there is no provider to pick.

Connecting your key

Atlas Cloud runs nothing on an empty account, so top up your balance on Atlas Cloud before your first run. Then connect your key:

  1. Open Settings and select the API Keys tab.
  2. You will see a short video that shows how to create a key on Atlas Cloud, with the Atlas Cloud card under it.
  3. Paste your key into the input field. Use the eye icon to show or hide what you typed.
  4. Click Save Key. The button shows "Validating..." while the app checks your key directly with Atlas Cloud. This can take a moment, since it is a real check, not just a formatting check.
  5. If the key works, you'll see a confirmation and the card's status chip changes to "Valid". If it does not, you'll see a message telling you the key was not valid, and it is not saved.

You can also connect your key during sign-up; see Getting Started.

Every key you save is encrypted and stored securely. The app only decrypts it to run your workflows, and it never shows the full key again, not even to you. See Security & Privacy for the details.

The card also has a "Get your API key from Atlas Cloud" link that opens Atlas Cloud's own key page in a new tab, so you can grab a key without leaving the flow:

Managing a saved key

Once a key is saved, the app never shows it back to you in full. You'll only see a masked version, like ****ab12, along with the date it was last validated. From there you can:

  • Update Key: paste a new key to replace the old one. It goes through the same live check before saving.
  • Delete: removes the key from your account. You'll be asked to confirm before it's removed.

The card shows a status chip so you always know where you stand:

  • Valid: the key works.
  • Invalid: the key was saved but is no longer accepted by Atlas Cloud.
  • Not configured: no key has been added yet.

Why you need a key to generate

Generation only works once you've connected a working Atlas Cloud key. Nothing runs, and nothing gets charged, until you have. If you run a workflow without one, it stops with a message like "No Atlas Cloud API key configured. Add one in Settings → API Keys." The fix is to add your key under the API Keys tab.
