Bring your own AI key
An AI chatbot that runs on your own API key
BYOK means bring your own key. You add an API key from OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini or another supported provider, and MagizAI uses it for every answer. You pay the provider for what you use, and MagizAI $10 a month for the chatbot, live chat and inbox, with no message cap from us.
Your chatbot is created in about 60 seconds. Not sure how to train it? Our team trains it and sets everything up for you, from integrations to training, at no cost. How free setup works
