### What you can do next :&#x20;

#### Apply Your AI Provider Settings

After completing the AI Provider configuration, you can now start applying these capabilities to an actual API.

We recommend proceeding to the [**API Registry**](https://docs.tpi.dev/guide/api-management/api-registry) to register a new API, and enable the AI Gateway settings you just configured. This will allow your customers to start using the features immediately.
