# Use your own OpenAI or Anthropic key

To use your own key, open Global settings, go to the AI tab, choose Bring your own key, pick OpenAI or Anthropic (Claude), paste the key and save. Capable checks the key before saving it.

2. Choose Bring your own key.
3. Under Provider, choose OpenAI or Anthropic (Claude).

## If it does not save

| **Message starts with**                     | **What to do**                                                          |
| ------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| The provider turned this key down           | The key is wrong, revoked or out of credit. Check it with the provider. |
| This key can't use the models Capable needs | Give the key's project access to the models above.                      |

## Removing a key

Choose Remove and confirm Remove the API key?. The app goes back to Built-in, or has no AI if your site is hosted outside the US.

---

## A few things worth knowing

* Your key is never shown again after saving. To change it, paste a new one.
* The daily limit counts tokens, not money. Usage shows an estimated cost from list prices.
* Each app has its own key. Set it in every app that should use it.
