OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, Grok, DeepSeek, OpenCode Zen

Summary: Learn how Antimanual Builder Pro connects to OpenAI, Gemini, Anthropic, Grok, DeepSeek, and OpenCode Zen. This guide explains provider options, required setup, data handling, API keys, and practical tips for reliable AI configuration across supported workflows.

Antimanual Builder Pro supports several AI providers so you can choose the service that best fits your workflow, budget, and model preferences. Depending on your installation, available providers may include OpenAI, Google Gemini, Anthropic, xAI Grok, DeepSeek, and OpenCode Zen. You connect only one provider at a time, then use it across AI-powered features such as generation, refinement, chat, and knowledge base workflows.

Supported AI providers

Antimanual uses your own API key to communicate with the selected AI service. The exact list of providers available on your site may vary based on configuration and supported integrations. In most setups, OpenAI and Google Gemini are the primary options, while Anthropic, xAI Grok, DeepSeek, and OpenCode Zen may also be available when your plan or integration allows them.

• OpenAI for general-purpose generation and editing workflows.
• Google Gemini for cost-effective Google AI Studio-based setups.
• Anthropic, Grok, DeepSeek, and OpenCode Zen where supported by your installation.

Use this guide after you decide which provider to enable in the settings panel.

What data is sent to the provider

Antimanual transmits data only when you trigger an AI action or a visitor interacts with AI features such as chat or AI search. Depending on the provider, this may include WordPress post content used for knowledge base indexing, visitor chat messages, and any prompts you configure in the admin area. The provider receives that data through your own API key.

For OpenAI and Google Gemini, the plugin sends the same general categories of data when the provider is active. The same model applies to supported third-party providers such as Anthropic, Grok, DeepSeek, or OpenCode Zen, subject to your site configuration and the feature being used.

Before you configure a provider

Before saving your provider settings, confirm that the free Antimanual Builder base plugin is active. If you want AI features, also install the optional companion plugin. You should also verify that your WordPress and PHP versions meet the required standards so the connection can work correctly and reliably.

• Activate the free base plugin first.
• Install the companion plugin if you plan to use AI features.
• Confirm that WordPress and PHP meet the required version standards.
• Prepare a valid API key for the provider you want to use.

If the base plugin is not active yet, complete installation before configuring any AI provider.

How provider configuration works

Open the Antimanual settings screen from the WordPress dashboard, then select your preferred AI provider from the available options. Paste the provider API key into the designated field and, when available, choose a model that matches your performance and budget goals. After saving, verify that the connection is recognized before using AI-powered tools.

• Select one provider at a time.
• Enter the API key from the provider dashboard.
• Choose a model if the provider supports model selection.
• Save settings and confirm the connection status.

For OpenAI, use the key from your OpenAI dashboard and select a model appropriate for the task. GPT-4o is suitable for more complex generation and editing workflows, while GPT-3.5-Turbo can be used for faster and lower-cost tasks. Make sure your OpenAI account has enough credits to avoid request failures.

Refer to this section if your provider connection depends on an active Pro license and companion setup.

Choosing OpenAI or Google Gemini

OpenAI is often the best choice for broad model support and high-quality generation across different content tasks. Google Gemini is a strong alternative if you prefer Google AI Studio or want a cost-effective setup. Both providers work through your own API key, and both can be swapped in the settings whenever your requirements change.

If your account runs out of credit or your key stops working, Antimanual displays an error in the dashboard. In that case, restore billing or credits on the provider side, then update the key in the plugin settings. Antimanual does not charge for the provider’s model usage itself; you pay the AI vendor directly.

Additional providers and operational notes

Anthropic, xAI Grok, DeepSeek, and OpenCode Zen may also be available depending on your site configuration. When these providers are enabled, the same general rules apply: Antimanual sends data only when the relevant AI workflow is triggered, and communication occurs through the API key you supply.

The plugin may also fetch a Spider Themes notice from its servers to display announcements to administrators. This is a standard HTTP GET request and does not transmit personal data, site content, or visitor information.

Best practices for reliable AI connections

• Use a valid API key with active billing or credits.
• Match the model to the task: stronger models for complex work, lighter models for routine edits.
• Keep the companion plugin updated if you use chat, search, or AI editing.
• Review provider-specific terms and privacy policies before sending content.

When configured correctly, Antimanual gives you a flexible AI layer for content generation, editing, and conversational workflows without locking you into a single provider. Choose the service that fits your project, confirm your connection, and begin using AI features from the builder interface.
