+## OpenAI API Key
+
+New users can try out Continue with GPT-4 using a proxy server that securely makes calls to OpenAI using our API key. Continue should just work the first time you install the extension in VS Code.
+
+Once you are using Continue regularly though, you will need to add an OpenAI API key that has access to GPT-4 by following these steps:
+1. Copy your API key from https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys
+2. Use the `cmd`+`,` (Mac) / `ctrl`+`,` (Windows) to open your VS Code settings
+3. Type "Continue" in the search bar
+4. Click `Edit in settings.json` under **Continue: OpenAI_API_KEY" section**
+5. Paste your API key as the value for "continue.OPENAI_API_KEY" in `settings.json`
