Bring your own keys
Your AI account. One blogging workflow.
Use your own provider keys for the work you want to fund directly. PixelClaw keeps the topic, research, draft, checks and publishing steps together, so switching a model does not mean moving your article between tools.
Start with one article, review the result and choose a plan when you need more.
Choose a provider for the task
Connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, MiniMax, Moonshot Kimi or OpenRouter in your blog’s settings. Available models depend on the provider and your account. A text model and an image model have different capabilities; choose one that supports the job you are asking it to do.
Separate writing from research costs
A writing key does not pay for web research or keyword data. You can also connect a Firecrawl key for research and a DataForSEO account for search numbers. Work routed through your own keys does not spend PixelClaw credits, but the provider can bill your account.
Check the route before starting a batch
Confirm the selected model, research depth and funding source before running Autopilot. Provider rate limits, balances and permissions still apply. Start with one article and inspect its sources and output before queuing more.
Use the same review and publishing controls
BYOK changes how generation is funded, not the need to check an article. Edit the outline, review the draft and use the content checks before publishing. Hosted blogging is included; custom domains, WordPress and developer API access depend on your plan.
