Digital Twin Pro answers inside the box by default. When you want one of the big outside AI services for a particular job — Claude, GPT or Gemini — you can connect the account you already have. This page explains, in plain terms, what that means for your information.
What connecting your own account actually is
You connect the AI services you already use — it's optional. You sign in with a credential from your own Anthropic, OpenAI or Google account. That credential lets the box send one job at a time to that company, billed to you, under your settings there. It is a sign-in, not a lock: it does not hide what you send from the company you send it to.
What leaves the box, plainly
When you send a job to an outside service, the question and any files attached to that job leave the box and are handled by that company, under that company's terms and its rules about how long it keeps things. The connection is scrambled on the way there, but the company has to read your question in order to answer it. Anything you don't send out stays home.
Setting it up
Step 1 — Get a credential from the service. Sign in to your Anthropic, OpenAI or Google account and create one there.
Step 2 — Add it in the app on your phone. Settings, then External models, then paste it in. It is kept on the box.
Step 3 — Decide when it gets used. Nothing goes out on its own. You choose which jobs may use the outside service, and the box tells you which service handled any job that went out.
For technical readers. This is bring-your-own-key: an API key from your Anthropic, OpenAI or Google console. It is a credential that proves the account is yours — it does not encrypt anything, and it is not a password to your account. Prompts and attachments for externally routed tasks are sent over HTTPS and processed under the provider's terms and retention policy. Keys are stored on the appliance. Local-only answering is the default.
Changing or removing it
Delete or replace it any time in the same settings panel. Deleting takes effect right away, and the box goes back to answering on its own.
