> API keys are specific to a project. You can create multiple keys for a single project. Visit `Project Settings` in the Zep dashboard to manage your API keys.

Projects bundle elements like Users, Sessions, Groups, Knowledge Graphs, and settings, helping you organize data by service, environment (e.g., development or production), or other relevant criteria.

## Creating a Project

When you sign up for Zep, your first project is automatically created. You'll be asked to configure a few project-specific settings (details below).
If you need more projects, you can create them anytime through the [Zep Web App](https://app.getzep.com/projects/create).

* Description (Optional): Optionally add a brief description of your project.
