Free. Run it here sends the prompt through our server to Claude and shows the draft on this page (5 runs a day free, 100 on a paid plan); we don't store it. Open in ChatGPT, Claude, or Grok sends the prompt to that tool instead. Sign in there first, or the prompt box may come up empty; if it does, use Copy and paste it in.
