Introduction

The itris OpenAI integration allows users to automatically generate an applicant’s Summary using the information available in the applicant’s CV. You will require an OpenAI account with billing enabled as the API Calls (aka the generation of summaries) are chargeable, see the section below on OpenAI Pricing.

Generating API/Secret Key

To set up Auto Generated Summaries in itris an API key (secret key) is required from OpenAI.

From https://openai.com (or via the link below for the pricing page) click on Log In to create an account and select the API option.

Via the main menu you will need to select View API Keys.

From here you can create new secret key.

itris Integration settings

The OpenAI Integration is configured in the itris Management Utility (IMU) under the Integrations tile and OpenAI tab.

The secret key can be added via the Configure button

Once the Secret Key is added you have options to Configure or Clear the Configuration.

Users will need to log out and back into itris to be able to use this feature.

For information on how to use this feature please see the following articles: New Applicant, Summary

OpenAI Pricing

Open AI prices are currently set per 1,000 tokens. Tokens very loosely equate to words (where 1,000 tokens is about 750 words).

Currently, itris points to the gpt-3.5-turbo-1106 model. Using this model as a basis pricing can be explained as follows:

  • Input cost per 1,000 tokens = $0.0005 (therefore 1 token = $0.0000005)
  • Output cost per 1,000 tokens = $0.0015 (therefore 1 token = $0.0000015)
  • If we assume the input text (aka the CV) is 3000 tokens then the input cost will be $0.0000005 x 3,000 = $0.0015
  • If we assume the output text (aka Summary) is 400 tokens then the output cost will be $0.0000015 * 400 = $0.0006
  • Total cost per input/output = $0.0021 (this is the cost of this example’s Auto-Generated Summary)
  • Therefore, Auto-Generating the Summary for 1000 CVs (assuming similar input/output) = $2.10

Please note the following: prices are correct at the time of writing but are subject to change by OpenAI. The maximum combined size of input and output in this model is 16k tokens (most CVs are much smaller than this however).
