Summary: Goal: How to get an Anthropic API key for unlimited Vemnix saves

Content: This guide helps Vemnix users get their own Anthropic API key so they can save unlimited Vemnixes from the Chrome extension. By default Vemnix provides 50 free AI summarizations per month. Adding your own Anthropic key removes this limit entirely. The key is added directly in the Vemnix extension settings and never leaves your browser.

Details: ## Goal: Get an Anthropic API key for unlimited Vemnix saves ### Why you need this The Vemnix Chrome extension uses Claude (by Anthropic) to summarize your AI conversations into structured Vemnixes. By default, Vemnix provides 50 free summarizations per month. Once you hit that limit, you won't be able to save new Vemnixes until the month resets. Adding your own Anthropic API key gives you unlimited saves — you only pay Anthropic directly for what you use (typically fractions of a cent per save). ### Step-by-step: Get your Anthropic API key 1. Go to **console.anthropic.com** and sign up or sign in 2. Click **API Keys** in the left sidebar 3. Click **Create Key** 4. Give it a name like "Vemnix Extension" 5. Copy the key — it starts with `sk-ant-api03-...` 6. **Save it somewhere safe** — Anthropic only shows it once ### Step-by-step: Add your key to Vemnix 1. Click the **vemnix.ai** extension icon in Chrome 2. Click the **⚙ gear icon** (top right) to open Settings 3. Toggle on **"Use my own Anthropic API key"** 4. Paste your key into the field that appears 5. Click **Save key** 6. The usage pill in the top right will change to **"own key ✓"** — you're set ### Pricing - Vemnix uses Claude Haiku, Anthropic's fastest and cheapest model - Each Vemnix save costs roughly $0.001–0.003 (less than half a cent) - 1,000 saves ≈ $1–3 - You can set spend limits in the Anthropic console under **Billing → Usage limits** ### Troubleshooting - **"Key should start with sk-ant-"** — make sure you copied the full key including the prefix - **Still seeing usage limit?** — toggle the "Use my own key" switch off and back on, then re-enter the key - **Key not working?** — check the Anthropic console to make sure the key is active and your account has a payment method added ### Notes - Your key is stored locally in the extension and never sent to Vemnix servers - You can revoke the key anytime in the Anthropic console - Free tier keys have rate limits — if you save many Vemnixes quickly, add a credit card in the Anthropic console to remove rate limits
