Anthropic, as the company behind Claude AI models, offers another way to use their AIs. API is a paid service, but it can significantly save you money compared to the Anthropic subscription service.

You can jump to step "Create a token for an existing Anthropic account" if you already have an account.

Create an account to get an API token

1. Go to console.anthropic.com > login with your email

   

2. Wait for an email from Anthropic and copy the code, or click on the link inside the email

   

3. Choose account type

   

4. Click "Get API Key"

   

5. Buy some credits

   

6. Enter the name for the API key (something related to Awee) and press "Create API Key".

   

7. Copy your API key and protect it as you would a password.

   Key looks like: sk-ant-api***************************************

8. Create a token for an existing Anthropic account

   Go to Manage -> API Keys on the left side menu

Use the copied token (key) in Awee

In Awee Desktop, go to Awee Desktop Settings. Make sure the Anthropic provider is enabled, paste in the token, and click "Save Token". Click to open in-app Awee Settings.

An API token (or access key) is like a secret password that lets your app or code securely access and use services from AI models (like ChatGPT or Anthropic) or other online tools without needing a username and login every time.
