# Connecting your AI

How Claude, ChatGPT or another AI works with Cracked for you.

## Quick answers

- **How do I connect my AI?** Open Your AI, pick the AI you use and follow its one setup step. After that your AI makes ads with you and answers questions like this one. Next: Your AI, https://cracked.app/ai
- **I don't have an AI** Start free: on Your AI pick “I don't have one” and follow the steps. Claude's free plan works. Next: Your AI, https://cracked.app/ai

Your AI is how you use Cracked. It writes your scripts, asks before it spends anything, and explains Cracked to you. Cracked has no chatbot on the site: the Ask bar finds your shops, your ads and these articles, and your AI does the talking.

## Connect it

- Open Your AI and copy the setup for your AI (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Codex, Cursor and others).
- Your AI reads the Cracked Skill at cracked.app/skill.md. That's what tells it how to make an ad with you, and where these help articles are.
- If your AI connects by key, make it on Your AI too. Never paste your key anywhere else.
- Turn it off any time on Your AI, under Connections: a key or a connection stops at once.

Your AI can never pay, ask for a payout or message a shop for you. Those stay yours.

Any question about Cracked, your AI can answer from these same articles: the Ask bar's “Ask your AI” button copies a prompt that points it at the right ones.
