 ### Set your OpenAI API key in Khoj
 If you want, Khoj can be configured to use OpenAI for search and chat.<br />
 Add your OpenAI API to Khoj by using either of the two options below:
- - Open the Khoj desktop GUI, add your [OpenAI API key](https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys) and click *Configure*
-   Ensure khoj is started **without** the `--no-gui` flag. Check your system tray to see if Khoj is minimized there.
+ - Open your [Khoj settings](http://localhost:8000/config/processor/conversation), add your OpenAI API key, and click *Save*. Then go to your [Khoj settings](http://localhost:8000/config) and click `Configure`. This will refresh Khoj with your OpenAI API key.
  - Set `openai-api-key` field under `processor.conversation` section in your `khoj.yml`[^1] to your [OpenAI API key](https://beta.openai.com/account/api-keys) and restart khoj:

 2. Configure Khoj
-   - **Via GUI**: Add files, directories to index in the GUI window that pops up on starting Khoj, then Click Configure
+   - **Via the Settings UI**: Add files, directories to index the [Khoj settings](http://localhost:8000/config) UI once Khoj has started up. Once you've saved all your settings, click `Configure`.
    - **Manually**:
      - Copy the `config/khoj_sample.yml` to `~/.khoj/khoj.yml`
      - Set `input-files` or `input-filter` in each relevant `content-type` section of `~/.khoj/khoj.yml`
