Manage Coding

With Coding, administrators can create controlled API keys for coding tools. Employees do not use their own OpenAI key, but a key managed through AI-Corporate.

This is mainly intended for developers, data teams and other advanced users who want AI assistance in a local development environment.

Why controlled API keys?

A regular API key often gives broad access to an external AI platform. With Coding, usage runs through AI-Corporate, so management, costs and reporting stay with the organization.

Key benefits:

• Costs under control: set a budget per key.
• Traceable usage: usage, costs and chats are linked to the employee.
• Central management: create, limit and revoke keys from the admin environment.
• Suitable for teams: manage API keys for employees and locations from one overview.

Enable Coding

Coding is enabled at environment level by an administrator with sufficient permissions.

1. Go to Admin environment → Coding.
2. Click Enable Coding.
3. Read the warning about subscription and API costs.
4. Click Agree and enable.

After enabling, AI-Corporate handles the technical connection in the background. Administrators do not need to manage external project settings.

Costs

Coding may involve additional subscription costs. API costs are charged with a markup factor. Contact AI-Corporate if you have questions.

Give locations access

After enabling, choose which locations may use Coding.

1. Open the Management tab.
2. Select the locations that may use Coding.
3. Click Save access.

A location administrator only sees locations for which Coding is allowed and for which they have permissions.

Choose models

In the Management tab, choose which OpenAI models are available for Coding.

Model	Use
GPT-5.4 mini	Cost-effective model for common programming help
GPT-5.4	Stronger model for more complex programming tasks
GPT-5.5	Top model for demanding coding work and professional use

For most users, GPT-5.4 mini is a good default. For experienced developers or more complex repositories, a stronger model may be more suitable.

Compatible coding tools

Coding works with tools that can use an OpenAI-compatible endpoint. The user needs three details:

• the Coding API key
• the AI-Corporate Coding endpoint URL: https://europe-west1-ai-corporate.cloudfunctions.net/coderenOpenAiCompatibleApi/v1
• an allowed model, for example gpt-5.4-mini

AI-Corporate recommends OpenCode as the default tool for advanced users:

Tool	Recommended for	Note
OpenCode	Developers and advanced users	Agentic coding tool for terminal, desktop and IDE. Powerful, but requires experience with code, Git and local projects.
Aider	Users who want explicit pair programming in the terminal	Technically compatible, but not the recommended default tool for Corporate environments.

Other tools such as Continue, Cline, Roo Code and Sourcegraph Cody Enterprise may work technically if they support a custom OpenAI-compatible base URL.

Not every coding tool is suitable

A tool is only suitable if you can configure your own OpenAI-compatible base URL. Tools such as Claude Code and Codex CLI are therefore not suitable for Coding.

Reporting

The Reporting tab shows usage and costs for the selected period. By default, the last 7 days are shown.

The report includes:

• total number of requests
• total costs
• number of tokens
• breakdown by location
• breakdown by user

Disable Coding

You can temporarily disable Coding with the toolbar button.

When Coding is disabled:

• existing API keys cannot be used
• reporting and historical data remain available
• Coding can be enabled again later

Disabling Coding does not delete existing reports.
