Get your free AI key
needs an AI key to check your sentences and to let answer your questions. Without one, practice can’t start. Getting a free key from Groq takes about 3 minutes, needs no credit card, and costs nothing.
Before you start
- Use a personal email that you can open right now. Don’t use your school email unless a teacher or other school staff member has said it’s OK.
- Under 18? Groq’s rules say account holders must be 18 or older. Ask a parent or guardian to make the key with you (they can follow this page), then they can give you the key.
- Keep this page open in one tab and Groq in another, so you can follow along.
Written steps
- Go to groq.com and click Start Building in the top right corner.
- Type your personal email address in the box and click Continue with email. (You can also use Continue with Google if you have a personal Google account.)
- Open your email and find the message from Groq. Click the link inside it. This signs you in to Groq; there’s no password to remember. If you don’t see the email after a minute, look in your Spam or Junk folder.
- On Groq, click API Keys at the top of the page, then click Create API Key. If a “Verify you are human” check appears, wait a moment or tick the box.
- Type any name for your key, like . Leave Expiration as No expiration. Click Submit.
- Your key appears. It starts with
gsk_. Click Copy. Groq shows it only once, so save it now (see below). - Click Done, go back to , and paste your key into the AI API key box: click the box, then press Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V on a Mac). Click Start practice.
Save your key somewhere safe
Groq will never show the same key again. Paste it into a notes app, a password manager, or a document only you can see, so you can use it next time. Treat it like a password: don’t share it, post it, or put it in a group chat. Anyone who has it can use up your free limit.
Lost it? No problem: sign in at groq.com, open API Keys, and create a new one. You can delete an old key there too (the trash-can icon).
What’s private, and what isn’t
Private
- Your AI key, unless you choose to save it. never stores it: it goes from your browser to the AI company, passing through the relay (a small server on Cloudflare that saves nothing) unless you switch the relay off under the key box.
- Without an account, your progress stays in your own browser.
Up to other companies
- When an answer is checked or you ask something, the sentence, your answer and your question go to the AI company (Groq). What they keep is up to their privacy policy, not .
- Your sign-up email goes to Groq, not to .
- The site is hosted by GitHub, accounts are stored with Google Firebase, and the relay runs on Cloudflare. They may keep basic logs, like your IP address.
Not private
- The leaderboard and anything you put in your profile can be seen by other people.
- Account data isn’t encrypted: anyone with your account key can open it, and the site’s owner can see it.
- A key you save in your browser or account is stored as plain text.
Never type personal details (your address, phone number, passwords) into ’s chat or your profile.
