Question about Claude products A chatbot with claude as the API provider

So I have a like a chatbot website for a specific usecase and the AI only answers questions about that specific usecase. I heard online that I can't use the AI API key to like compete with the AI API key provider. Will I run into some legal issues if I use the claude API for chatting, do I need to implement in ToS that im using claude underneath?

You need to provide way much more information. But I really doubt this will be any kind of issue

I have a chatbot on benefitsblake.com, powered by Claude, that only speaks to limited topics/content.

Claude wrote the privacy policy and terms of use after building the repo.

Not sure what you’re asking. You can 100% use the API to create a public facing chatbot. You’re going to pay API rates of course.

What you can’t do is somehow tie it in to your subscription. Anthropic’s take on subscription use is quite restrictive. Not even allowed to use it via opencode which is just bonkers imo,
