Question
Can I use Bitácora without connecting any AI?
Yes, for almost all the work around your screens. To get your notes applied you need an AI, and you have courtesy runs to try it out.

Yes. Bitácora is where you see, organize, review, and deliver your screens, and almost none of that needs AI:
- Sketch on the boards and draw the flow.
- Arrange the canvas, group screens, and assign who's responsible.
- Make touch-ups by hand with Adjust mode and fix copy with Text mode.
- Dictate and write notes, which wait in the strip until you run them.
- Deliver to your client, see who viewed it, and get their comments.
- Keep track of your clients in My clients.
What does need an AI is running the notes, that is, having the changes you ask for applied to the screens on their own. You have three ways to do that, and with none of them does Bitácora charge you for the AI:
| Way | How it works |
|---|---|
| Your Claude through the connector | Your Claude chat (or Claude Code) works on your project. You pay for it with your Claude plan. Connect Claude |
| Your API key | Bitácora runs with your key, right here, without opening another chat. You pay for it in your Anthropic console |
| Your AI, through files | An agent on your computer (Claude Code, Cursor, or another) works on the project folder |
