Q: Why BYOK
Hi Paperguide team, I really love what you’re building and see a lot of value for my work writing funding proposals. However, the 50 calls per 3-hour limit feels a bit restrictive for my workflow — I typically work in focused sessions (1–3 hours), just once or twice a month, where I interact heavily with call documents, background materials, and research.
Would you consider enabling a BYOK option so users like me can scale usage during those high-focus sessions? That would make Paperguide a perfect tool for deep, productive work. Thanks!

Apr 17, 2025A: Hi. Thanks for your question. The rate limits are there for the advanced models but there are no hard stop on AI Generations. When you exceed your AI generation limits, you’ll be switched to base models (4o mini primarily). This ensures you can continue using the platform seamlessly without interruptions. Regarding BYOK, we don't have it in our roadmap yet as very rarely users have asked for. If there is enough demand for it, we will consider it in future.
Excuse me for the follow up question.
- So I can keep calling from my documents/sources but with lower models or I can only edit the outputs?
Hi. Thanks for your question. Yes. You can keep chatting with your documents. Also, please note that the rate call limits don't apply to writer.
