Connect ChatGPT
Connect your ChatGPT plan to Reforma, check usage limits, and fix connection problems.
Use your ChatGPT plan for chat in Reforma. You need access to the models you want to use and a terminal on the computer where you open Reforma in the browser.
Image generation still uses Reforma credits
Your ChatGPT connection does not cover image generation in Reforma. Images and some supporting AI features still spend workspace credits. See which account pays.
Connect your plan
If you already have an OpenAI API key saved in Reforma, remove it first. You can save one OpenAI connection method in Reforma at a time.
- In the chat composer, open the current model name.
- Beside Use my subscription, select Configure.
- In Connect providers, keep the Subscription tab selected.
- Under Start the bridge on your computer, copy the displayed command and run it in a terminal on the same computer as your browser. This lets ChatGPT sign-in return to Reforma. Leave the command running until you finish connecting.
- Select Continue with ChatGPT, sign in, and approve the requested access to your plan.
- After connecting, reopen the model picker. Check that Use my subscription is on and select the OpenAI model you want to use.
To check the connection, open Configure → Subscription and look for You're using your ChatGPT plan. You can now stop the terminal command. Before sending your next request, check the model name in the composer, especially if you have other providers connected.
If you used ChatGPT to sign in to Reforma, check this panel too. You can be signed in without having granted access to your plan.
Check usage and limits
Your ChatGPT plan's model access and usage limits still apply. Open Configure → Subscription and select Usage to view usage in ChatGPT. For current plan conditions, see OpenAI's usage and limits documentation.
If you reach a provider limit, the chat request can stop. Reforma does not automatically switch it to workspace credits. Wait until usage is available again, choose another connected provider's model, or switch to Reforma credits.
If connecting fails
| What happened | What to do |
|---|---|
| The sign-in window did not open | Allow popups for Reforma and select Continue with ChatGPT again. |
| Sign-in cannot return to Reforma | Run the command shown in the dialog on the same computer as the browser, keep it running, and retry. |
| Plan access was not granted | Retry the connection and approve the requested access. Check the ChatGPT account you are signing in with. |
| The connection used to work but requests now fail | Check Usage and your account's model access. If authorization has expired or been revoked, disconnect and connect again. |
Disconnect or use an OpenAI API key instead
Open Configure → Subscription, select Disconnect, and confirm. Disconnecting removes the connection from Reforma; it does not cancel your ChatGPT plan.
To use an OpenAI API key, disconnect ChatGPT first, then follow Connect an API key. After changing connections, check Use my subscription and select the model you intend to use.
To use Reforma credits temporarily while keeping ChatGPT connected, turn off Use my subscription.
