Level 4 — Bring-your-own-key (BYOK)

Who this is for

Users who want to run Processor on their own Anthropic API key — so the LLM usage goes through your own Anthropic account instead of the shared Processor balance.

What you can do at this level — everything in Level 3, plus:

  • Add your own Anthropic API key and have all your runs use it.

Before you start: your access code, a transcript, a Miro board with the Processor panel, and an Anthropic API key from your own Anthropic account. (See Getting started.)

Adding your API key

  1. Click "Open full web app" to go to the website (signed in).
  2. Find the "Your API key" panel (shown to Level 4 accounts).
  3. Paste your Anthropic API key and save it.
  4. Processor checks the key works using a free, zero-cost call, then stores it encrypted.

How your key is handled

Your key is stored encrypted — it's never shown back to you in full, never written to logs, and excluded from any export or backup zip. You can remove it at any time from the same panel.

Running on your key

Once your key is saved, your runs use your key. If your key is missing or invalid, the run is refused — Processor will not silently fall back to the shared account. Everything else works exactly as in Level 3 (model choice, elaborate and generate on the website, downloads, the zip export, direct .bpmn upload, and drawing in the panel).

The rest of the workflow

The day-to-day flow is identical to Level 3 — Full: analyze in the panel → elaborate and generate BPMN on the website → return to Miro (the panel auto-refreshes) → draw one process at a time. Re-drawing a process reuses its diagram.

Before you re-analyze or upload a new transcript

As with every level, re-running the analysis or uploading a new transcript clears your generated work (the transcript is kept); Processor warns you and offers Download backup (zip) first.

Troubleshooting

  • "Run refused" or a key error. Check the key is valid and still active in your Anthropic account, then re-add it. Level 4 never falls back to the shared key by design.
  • I removed my key — what now? Add a valid key again to run, or ask your administrator to move you to a level that uses the shared balance.
