How to connect your own AI key
Live replies use your own account with an AI provider, so that provider's pricing and usage limits apply. The page does not send your key or your questions to Boztik.
- Create an API key with the provider you want to use (OpenAI, Anthropic for Claude, or Google for Gemini). If the provider lets you, set a spending limit on the account or on the key first.
- Choose that provider in the "Connect a real AI provider" box above the chat and paste the key into the field.
- Press Test. The page sends one short request ("Reply with the single word: OK") to the provider, which uses a very small amount of your credit. If the provider accepts it, the key is saved. Connect saves the key without testing it.
- Ask a question. Your question and a short Boztik instruction go from your browser straight to the provider, and the reply appears in the chat. If a request fails, the chat shows the error and then the built-in answer instead.
- Disconnect, which appears once a key is saved, removes the saved key for that provider from this browser.
