Connecting your AI key

AI is completely optional — everything else in XSiteBuilder works without it. Once connected, you can generate a whole site, or a single page, from a short description.

AI uses your own API key from an AI provider, so usage is billed by them directly to you.

Get an API key

• Anthropic (Claude): sign in at console.anthropic.com → API Keys → Create Key. Add some credit under Billing.
• OpenAI: sign in at platform.openai.com → API keys → Create new secret key. Add credit under Billing.

Copy the key — you'll only see it once.

Connect it

Go to Settings → AI (optional):

1. Choose your Provider.
2. Paste your API key.
3. Optionally click Load models and pick a Model — or leave it blank and a good one is chosen for you.
4. Click Connect.

We check the key works before saving. It's stored encrypted and never shown in full again:

Only workspace owners and admins can connect or change it. To stop using AI, click Disconnect.

What does it cost?

More capable models write better pages but cost more. A full 5-page site typically costs a few cents to a dollar on your provider's bill, depending on the model. One page costs a fraction of that.

Privacy

To write pages, the provider you chose receives your description, your site's name and its page names. When writing a single page, your home page is also sent so the new page can match its header, footer and style. Nothing else from your workspace is sent.
