# AI inside your app (https://lazyfrog.dev/docs/ai-in-your-app)

There are two kinds of AI here. **Your** AI (Claude, ChatGPT or Codex) builds the app. If the app itself should use AI (a chatbot, summaries), it needs its own key from a provider such as OpenAI or Anthropic.

Put that key in the portal's **AI** screen, or give it to your AI when it asks. The app then calls LazyFrog's AI gateway with an app key, so the real key never enters your app.

- OpenAI, Anthropic and OpenAI-compatible providers (OpenRouter, Groq and others).
- A monthly cap per environment (default $5): at the cap, requests fail with a clear message instead of running up a bill.
- Spending by model is shown in the portal. Set a spending limit at the provider too.
