When you're done, your AI app can set up Actions for you, and you know what's left for you to do in the
editor.

**Who can do this:** the account owner, with an AI app connected to Chirp Builder: see
[Connect Claude, ChatGPT or another AI app](https://www.chirpbuilder.com/help/chirps/connect-ai-app).

## What your AI app can do

Ask it in your own words, for example "Add this schema as an Action to my Garden Helper Chirp". It can:

- **Add an Action** from a schema's text, or replace one.
- **List** a Chirp's Actions, with their status, operations and any warning that calls are failing.
- **Change** which operations are on, which ask visitors first, and how it signs in.
- **Test** an operation. Reading data runs for real; a change is only previewed unless you tell it to
  send it for real.
- **Remove** an Action.

Moving a Custom GPT over with your AI app brings its Actions' schemas too.

## What it needs

Its access level, in **Settings** under **Connect your AI app**:

![The Connect your AI app card in Settings: the connected Claude with its access level, Create and edit.](https://mjmtbasmrtksluvlnema.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/help-media/web-optimized/actions/with-ai-app/SS-ACT-080-01__ai-app-access__essentials__detail__v01.webp?v=d9baa792ac)

- **Read only:** list Actions and test them; a change can only be previewed, not sent.
- **Create and edit:** add, change and remove Actions, and send a real change in a test once you've said
  yes.
- **Create, edit and publish:** also publish, so visitors get the changes.

When you connect an app, **Create, edit and publish** is chosen to start with; pick a lower level if
you prefer. It works on your own Chirps, not on Chirps in workspaces shared with you.

## What you do in the editor

- **Add API keys.** Your AI app never sees or sets them, so they never pass
  through a chat. See [Add the API key an Action needs](https://www.chirpbuilder.com/help/actions/api-key).
- **Turn all Actions off**, see the full Recent calls, and add a webhook with the form.
- **Publish**, unless your AI app has publish access.
