Allow users to connect their own Claude or ChatGPT subscriptions to power Framer AI

I’m loving the new agent-building feature and was excited to use it to resolve a long-standing issue on my homepage. I spent considerable time working with the agent, providing detailed prompts, screenshots, GIFs, and other context, but ultimately exhausted a significant portion of my monthly AI allotment without resolving the problem. In fact, I’m likely going to delete the branch it created because the proposed changes weren’t successful.
I understand that AI compute has real costs and that refunding usage after changes have been generated may not be practical. However, I think there is an even better long-term solution.
Please consider allowing users to authenticate Framer with their own Claude and/or ChatGPT accounts (or API keys) so Framer’s AI features can leverage subscriptions they already pay for. Many of us already have premium plans with these providers and would prefer to use those resources while continuing to work inside Framer’s excellent native development environment.
This would:
* Reduce friction for power users who already pay for external AI services.
* Eliminate concerns about quickly exhausting Framer’s AI allotment on complex debugging tasks.
* Encourage deeper adoption of Framer’s AI tools without forcing users to choose between platforms.
* Keep developers in Framer instead of pushing them to external tools like Claude Code for longer sessions.
I think this would be a significant quality-of-life improvement for advanced users and teams who rely heavily on AI-assisted development.

Completely agree — thanks for articulating this so clearly.
One additional point: the current credit system feels quite opaque. Allowing API integrations would give users full visibility and control over costs, which is especially important for advanced use cases.

Rooz !
I was about to write a new thread but I am doubling down on this. I had a long chat with the framer team. The current agent is super clunky and it is inefficient in understanding the task in hand. I had the exact same experience with the agent - drifting like crazy.
Kudos on bringin the agent to the platform. It is not for the prime time yet. I am happy to experiment with my Claude subscription but paying extra and get frustrated - not so much :D
