Integrations

Describe That integrations

Describe That is built around a single core connection: Anthropic's Claude API. Users create an Anthropic account, add prepaid credit, and paste their API key into the app's configuration screen, after which each image or PDF scan is billed directly by Anthropic. Because the app runs in the browser, files are uploaded from the local device and results are viewed in its dashboard. The vendor lists an API and data import and export among its capabilities, but no named connectors to storage, CRM, or case management tools. Teams that need results in other systems should plan to export reports and move them manually or with their own scripts.
