How it works
Anthropic makes Claude, an AI model for working with text. Connect Anthropic to add an assistant, draft replies, or summarize information inside your Zite app. App visitors don’t need their own Anthropic accounts; your app uses the connection you set up. By connecting Anthropic, you can:- Draft replies, proposals, and other text from user input
- Summarize the text of reports, notes, or conversations
- Categorize feedback and support requests
- Apply instructions such as your team’s tone and preferred format
- Show answers as they’re written in a chat interface

- Zite’s account: Requires a paid Zite plan and is billed by usage. Overage charges may apply.
- Your own key: Usage is billed to your Anthropic account and follows its limits. Check that account’s billing and available usage if requests stop working.
- Shared connection: Activity from all app visitors uses the connection you chose.
- Information and models: Tell Zite which records or guidelines the feature should use. Ask it to choose a supported Claude model for the task, then test the results with your own examples.
