Connecting your own Anthropic (Claude) key

What this is for in Lazycom

Lazycom's AI features work out of the box on a shared default model. Bringing your own Anthropic key routes your site's AI generation through your own Anthropic account and billing instead. Go to Settings → Apps, press "Switch on" on the Claude card and paste the key there.

Which Claude model it uses

With your key, Lazzy uses Claude Haiku 5.5 (fast and the lowest cost) unless you choose another. Claude Haiku 4.5 is no longer offered: if it was chosen before, Lazzy now uses Haiku 5.5 in its place, which costs less. If your plan includes more models, a model menu appears at the top of the Lazzy chat; pick, for example, Claude Sonnet 5.5 or Claude Opus 5.5 there. Larger models cost more on your Anthropic bill.

Finding the value in Anthropic's console

1. Sign in at platform.claude.com — the developer console (separate from the consumer Claude.ai chat app).
2. Open Account Settings → API Keys (platform.claude.com/settings/keys) and create a new key. Give it a recognizable name (e.g. "Lazycom") and pick a workspace if your organization uses more than one.
3. The key is shown once. Copy it immediately into Lazycom's Claude field — you can't view it again afterward; if you lose it, delete it and create a new one.
4. Confirm billing is set up under Settings → Billing — requests fail once authenticated if the account has no spend limit or payment method.

Testing the connection

Use the Test Connection button under the Claude card after saving the key. It sends a minimal request to confirm the key authenticates.

Troubleshooting

• Test Connection fails — check the key wasn't deleted or expired in the console after being saved here, and that billing is active.
• Key created but every request fails — a brand-new console account sometimes needs a payment method or spend limit set before any request succeeds, even small test ones.
• "anthropic-workspace-id" or workspace errors — only relevant to multi-workspace organizations; a single-workspace key needs no extra configuration in Lazycom.

Safety

Never paste your Anthropic API key into this chat — paste it directly into the Lazycom field on the app's card in Settings → Apps. If it was ever exposed elsewhere, delete it in platform.claude.com → API Keys and create a new one, then update it in Lazycom.
