AI · bring your own key

Plug your own AI into this site.

Paste a key from any major provider and ask civil-engineering questions right here. Keys are stored only in your browser's local storage and are sent straight to the provider you choose — never to us.

1 · Choose a provider

Generous free tier in Google AI Studio. Good starting point.

2 · Paste your key
3 · Ask

Output is machine-generated and is not engineering advice. Anything used for permitting or construction needs review and a stamp from a licensed Colorado PE.

Keys stay local

Your key is written to this browser's local storage and posted directly to the provider's endpoint. It never touches an Ansom Outdoor server, log, or database.

Bring any budget

Google AI Studio and Groq both issue free-tier keys — enough to try everything on this page. Scale up to OpenAI or Anthropic when the work justifies it.

Same pattern in your app

Want this wired into your own tool, with server-side keys, retrieval over your standards library, and PE review gates? That is a build we do.
