Bring Your Own Anthropic Key (BYOK)

Use your own Anthropic API key for AI runs instead of consuming Sigora credits for Claude tokens.

When BYOK makes sense:

• You already have a high-volume Anthropic plan and want to use that quota.
• You need raw AI usage at Anthropic's wholesale rate without Sigora's markup.
• Compliance / billing reasons (your AI usage shows up directly on your Anthropic invoice).

Important: Sigora never resells Anthropic tokens — that's against Anthropic's terms. BYOK means *you* pay Anthropic directly for the tokens. Sigora credits are still debited for non-AI infrastructure (lead enrichment via Crustdata, send actions, third-party API calls).

Steps:

• Get a key at console.anthropic.com → Settings → API Keys → Create Key.
• In Sigora: Settings → General → "Bring Your Own Anthropic Key" section.
• Paste the key (starts with sk-ant-…) and click Save & validate.
• Sigora pings Anthropic to verify the key works, then encrypts and stores it.

Switch BYOK on/off per specialist:

Each specialist instance has an "AI mode" toggle in its top-right header — choose Sigora credits (default) or Your Anthropic key. You can switch back and forth anytime.

Security:

• The key is encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM with a server-side master key.
• Sigora only ever displays a "configured / not configured" badge; the key itself is never shown after entry.
• You can remove the key anytime from the same Settings section.
