Hi! Quick simple question: for integrating with Claude, can we use Claude's API or are we forced to use Clay's credits? Do we need a special plan in Claude?

You have two options for using Claude in Clay: 1. Use our Clay-managed account, which will cost between 0.5 to 6 credits per output. 2. Use your own Claude API key if you're on a paid Clay plan. When using your own API key, you won't be charged any Clay credits. To use your own API key, you can add it through Model > Account > Add Account in the enrichment panel.
