How It Works
From signup to structured deliverables in under two minutes.
1. Create Your Account
Free signup. No credit card, no trial period, no commitments. Your account gives you access to all five Lobsters immediately.
2. Add Your API Key
Go to Settings and add an API key from OpenAI, Anthropic, or OpenRouter. Your key is encrypted with AES-256-GCM and never shown again after saving. You pay your AI provider directly.
3. Choose a Lobster & Fill the Form
Pick the Lobster that matches your task. Each one has a focused input form — no blank text box, no prompt engineering required. Select your AI provider and model.
4. Run the Lobster
Click Run. The Lobster builds an optimized prompt pipeline, calls the AI provider using your key, and parses the response into structured sections — all server-side.
5. Get Your Deliverable Package
Results appear as a packaged deliverable — not raw chat text. Each section has its own copy button. Export the full result as Markdown or plain text. Every run is saved to your history.
Generic Chatbot
Blank text box → unstructured response → manual formatting → lost in chat history
AI Lobster
Focused form → structured deliverable → per-section copy → saved in history
Your Privacy, Your Control
Your API key is encrypted at rest and decrypted only for the duration of a Lobster run. We never log your prompts or results. You control your data and your AI spending.
