</Steps>

## Add to Anything project

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add the integration">
    1. In your Anything project, type `/` in the chat
    2. Select "GIPHY" from the menu
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add your API key">
    1. Paste your API key into the "GIPHY\_API\_KEY" field

    <Tip>
      Need a new key? Generate one in your GIPHY Developer dashboard.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start searching">
    You can now use prompts with the integration to access GIFs.

    Example prompts:

    * `Find reaction GIFs using /GIPHY`
    * `Add animated stickers with /GIPHY`
    * `Create a GIF picker using /GIPHY`

    <Warning>
      The API limits how often your app can fetch data. If your app loads the same data often, ask the agent to save it locally so it doesn't re-fetch every time.
    </Warning>

    Example prompt for optimization:

    ```
    When using /GIPHY, save the GIF URLs so my app doesn't have to fetch them again
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Your GIPHY integration is ready! Use `/GIPHY` in chat to access GIFs.
