# How to set up OpenAI integration for P4 Code Review

To integrate OpenAI with P4 Code Review, follow these steps:

1. Create an OpenAI account or log in to your an OpenAI account here.

2. Once logged in, create a new project within the OpenAI platform.

3. Generate a secret API key:

   1. Navigate to the project settings.

   2. Create a new secret key.

   3. Copy the generated key.

4. To configure AI review integration for P4 Code Review, add the ai_review block configuration in `SWARM_ROOT/data/config.php` file, as in the following example:

       <?php
           'ai_review' => array(
                // Please read Perforce's Generative AI policy before enabling this feature.
                // See https://www.perforce.com/generative-ai-policy
                'enabled' => false, // set to true to enable the AI review feature
                'data_retention_lifetime' => '30 days',  // Delete AI summary records that are older than the
       					  	  // value provided. By default, this value is 30 days.
       						  // Enter a value in 'days' or 'months'.
       						  // For example, '30 days' or '2 months'.
       						  // A cron job is required to remove the
       						  // AI summaries on a schedule.
       						  // See Set up a cron job to delete AI summaries.
               'timeout' => 30, // Setting timeout for the request sent from p4 code review to AI vendor
                                //  Timeout set in seconds
               'ai_vendors' => array(
                   'ai_model1' => array(
                       'ai_vendor'        => 'openAI', // Name of the AI provider being used
                       'ai_package_id'    => '1', // Ensure this remains as '1'. Do not modify the ai_package_id.
                       'ai_package_key'   => 'openaiwithexplaincodeongpt4', // This is intended for future
                                                                            // use when we will support
                                                                            // multiple models and have an

                       'ai_package_value' => 'Open AI With Explain Code On GPT4', // This is used to display
                                                                                  // the model type in the

                       'ai_model'         => 'gpt-4',
                       'ai_package_type'  => "Explain the following code:", // This is the prompt for the AI.
                                                                            // You can modify the prompt  for

                                                                            // the code, or to request the

                       'api_key'          => $SECRET_KEY, // Paste your copied OpenAI API key here
                       'ai_min_char_limit'=> 4, // Minimum number of characters required in the content
                                                // submitted to the AI vendor for analysis.
                                                // Defaults to 4 characters.
                       'ai_max_char_limit'=> 31000, // The maximum number of characters
                                                    // that can be submitted to the AI vendor for analysis
                                                    // Defaults to 31000 characters.
                   ),
               ),
           ),

   Replace $SECRET_KEY with the API key you copied earlier.

5. Make sure your OpenAI account has enough tokens to use the API. If needed, recharge your account.

This setup will enable OpenAI's GPT-4 model to explain the diff code in your P4 Code Review.
