How to build and authenticate an AI API using Modal, Neon, and Unkey

Modal, Neon, and Unkey are used to build and deploy an AI API that can transcribe and summarize text using the Whisper model from OpenAI. The process involves setting up a new FastAPI application with Modal context loaded, creating a transcription route, adding data persistence with Neon, and adding authentication with Unkey. Unkey provides API keys a service so that developers can safely open up access to their API in minutes. With Unkey, developers can add authentication to their APIs in just a few lines of code, making it easy to control access to the API and ensure secure deployment.
