BYOK Seed Generator

Generate professional seed context documents using your own Anthropic or OpenAI API keys. The BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) model puts you in control of AI costs while Bootspring provides the intelligence layer.

Overview#

The Seed Generator creates 8 document types from your wizard data:

Setting Up API Keys#

1. Go to Dashboard > Settings > Provider API Keys
2. Add your Anthropic key (sk-ant-...) or OpenAI key (sk-...)
3. Keys are validated on save and encrypted with AES-256-GCM

You can store one key per provider. Keys are encrypted at rest and decrypted only at the moment of use.

Single-Provider Generation (Pro)#

Pro and Team users generate documents with one provider at a time:

1. Complete the Seed Wizard in the Preseed Builder
2. Open the Preseed Studio
3. Click Generate All or generate individual documents
4. Download the ZIP archive

Dual-LLM Generation (Enterprise)#

Enterprise users with both an Anthropic and OpenAI key can enable Dual-LLM mode:

1. Toggle Dual-LLM ON in the Preseed Studio status bar
2. Click Generate All
3. Each document is generated by both providers in parallel
4. Results are automatically merged with deduplication and conflict detection

The merge process:

• Removes duplicate content blocks
• Detects similar but non-identical blocks (≥55% token similarity)
• Produces a merge changelog listing sources, duplicates removed, and conflicts
• Combines the best of both providers into a single document

Generation Limits#

Security#

• API keys encrypted with AES-256-GCM using a server-side master key
• Unique random IV per encryption operation
• Keys never logged, cached, or transmitted in plaintext
• All key operations audit logged (save, delete, use, validate)
• Delete keys anytime from the Settings dashboard
