Customers may own their AI credentials,
but credentials should not be scattered through business workflows.
BYOK is an optional enterprise deployment pattern, not the BossAI product identity. When customer-owned AI credentials are required, raw credentials enter only the governed BossAI OS or approved configuration boundary, where the central AI Gateway manages invocation, permissions, usage and audit.
One governed AI access boundary
BossAI Agent, Skills, Commerce and other governed business capabilities share BossAI OS and the central AI Gateway so products, employees and devices do not each maintain separate model credentials and routing rules.
Approved enterprise practice
- An authorized administrator supplies or configures customer-owned AI credentials
- Raw credentials enter only BossAI OS / an approved secure configuration boundary
- Products and AI employees invoke supported AI through the central AI Gateway
- Role permissions, usage, tasks and audit evidence remain traceable
- Credentials can be rotated, revoked or replaced without changing the product architecture
Not an approved operating pattern
- Putting raw credentials in project content, prompts or business data
- Sharing personal account passwords or complete secrets among employees
- Submitting complete credentials through the website, email, tickets, screenshots or documents
- Allowing products to bypass BossAI OS and directly maintain separate model connections
- Marketing raw model cost, routing or Token resale as the BossAI product
Customers use BossAI without managing underlying provider complexity
Customer-facing product language should focus on business capability, AI employees, task outcomes, Points and governance state. Underlying credentials, model routing and infrastructure economics remain administrative concerns.

Authorization · rotation · enterprise policy
Task intent · input quality · final approval
From configuration to revocation, keep secrets inside the governance boundary
Need to use customer-owned AI credentials? Define the governance model first.
Share your security requirements, team size and product scope. BossAI will first determine whether BYOK is needed, who should configure credentials, how they should be isolated and how usage should be audited.
