How to get Open AI Keys

Confusion
- A simple login entry point doesn't have any introduction to how to get keys!
- It seem to ask for an organization!
- I have a personal account that is paid for!
- No icon or link that walks step by step for the keys!
- Hopefully the links below will introduce and clarify these!
- The ChatGPT instructions seem to be wrong!! ouch!!!

Profile woes
- Don't let me see the profile from login page
- I seem to have a link to it directly: https://platform.openai.com/settings/profile/user instead

Apparently
- There is an org called Personal
- It has an ID
- Seem to enable some fine tuning capabilities
- Disable keys for entire org
- What does it mean to have projects in an org in a personal org?

Restated goal
- I am paid personal user
- I want to use the API for learning and experimentation from python apps
- How to create an API for such purposes (as briefly as possible)
- Options necessary while creating the API
- What is a cheap model for experimenting with Agentic
- Where to monitor the usage of the API once in operation

Here is a summary of that goal at my github

In brief
- Each personal user has a default org called personal
- Has a default project called "default project"
- the key is created underneath it
- If you pay already, the API payments are added to that and billed
- Personal accounts don't have access to service accounts
- You can have projects if needed, but easier for learning under one key
- Use "All" as permission to APIs
