# Add AI features to your own app

Use the built-in Evonx AI gateway so your published app can call AI with managed quotas.

Your app's users need AI too — a job summary on the invoice, a portal assistant
that answers from your own data. You do not paste a provider key into chat.
Evonx stores secrets and can inject an **in-app AI** gateway metered on your
workspace credits.

## The path

1. Describe the feature in an [Evolution Thread](/docs/evolve/evolution-threads):
   who sees it, when it runs, what it must never invent (prices, legal claims).

2. On the project, open **Settings** and the secrets card. Enable **Evonx AI**
   for the app when the platform offers the toggle. Add any other provider keys
   the feature still needs under
   [project secrets](/docs/launch/secrets-and-in-app-ai) — development and live
   separately.

3. Preview the flow. Confirm the model is not leaking secrets into the UI.

4. Publish. Watch [usage](/pricing) so in-app calls do not surprise you at the
   monthly boundary — see [Fair use & limits](/docs/trust/fair-use-and-limits).

> **Note**
> The gateway is only available when the platform has an AI provider configured.
> If the toggle is missing, the feature cannot call Evonx AI yet; say so in
> support rather than pasting keys into the thread.
