# Set up Cardboard in ChatGPT or Claude

Cardboard edits video right in the chat: bring in your clips, say what you want, and the edited video plays there. It works on every Cardboard plan, with no API key.

## ChatGPT

1. **Find Cardboard in Plugins.** Open the Plugin directory in ChatGPT and search for Cardboard.
2. **Install and connect.** Select Install plugin, then Connect and sign in with your Cardboard account.
3. **Mention it in any chat.** Type @Cardboard and ask for your video. ChatGPT plans the edit, Cardboard cuts it, and it plays in the chat.
