No, not to write with AI. If you pay for Claude or ChatGPT, connect Arva SEO to it and write briefs, drafts and page copy with the plan you already have: see Use Arva SEO in Claude or ChatGPT. An API key from OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude) or Google (Gemini), added in Integrations → AI, is for the AI built into Arva SEO: one-click title and meta suggestions, briefs and drafts in the content editor, and checking AI answers on the AI Search page.
