You have 20 API keys. They're in Notion, in a .env file, in a Slack DM to yourself. One is definitely expired. You're not sure which one. Two tools. Four clicks total. That's this.
Every AI app you use is renting you access to a key they own. When you have your own key, you pay pennies — not $20/month. Here's how to get one, store it, and put it to work.
Each step is a real win. You leave with something installed, a key saved, or a lead found. Nothing abstract.

Open Dashboard →Privacy Sheriff and API Ring are free. Every person you get to install them becomes part of a more decentralized AI network. When agents go live, every referral you made already has a pool.
The more people with their own keys, the more decentralized the network gets. Every referral you make now is attributed permanently — even before agents go live.
