How to use TicNote API with Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini
You want Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini to work from your TicNote transcripts — not from a blank chat. TicNote publishes that path as the TicNote API Skill: you paste a published install prompt, then send your TicNote Key in the same conversation. As of 24 September 2026, this store still does not sell API access. You unlock the Skill with a Professional or Business plan on TicNote. Hardware stays optional.
What the TicNote API Skill is for
You already keep recordings and documents in TicNote. The Skill lets your AI assistant operate TicNote directly — upload files, transcribe audio, run deep research, and pull completed transcripts and AI summaries into the LLM chat you already use. You follow the Quick Setup TicNote prints on TicNote API Skill — not invented REST endpoints, OAuth screens, or MCP menus.
You can read the English Skill page purpose in plain words: let your AI assistant operate TicNote directly; upload files, transcribe audio, run deep research — in one message. That page also says you can use the API Key to retrieve completed transcripts, AI summaries, and other accessible content for external workflows. It does not print REST paths, so you will not find them here.
Quick setup: copy the prompt, then send your Key
You do not need API knowledge to start. As of 24 September 2026, the English Skill page tells you to copy the prompt below and send it to your AI assistant to install the Skill.
Please install the TicNote API skill
Skill URL: https://voice-recorder-cdn.ticnote.com/ticnote-web-prd/2026-03/ticnote-api.zip
API Key URL: https://ticnote.com. Get your API Key from 'TicNote Key' in your profile menu.You then follow the four steps that page numbers:
- Copy the install prompt above.
- Send it to your AI assistant to install.
- Log in to TicNote and get your API Key from TicNote Key in your profile menu.
- Give your API Key to the AI to finish setup.
Treat the Key like a password. Only paste it into the conversation that just installed the Skill. If your account lives on the China English Skill page, that prompt keeps the same ZIP and sets API Key URL to https://www.ticnote.cn. You should not mix .com and .cn Key URLs. This article quotes the .com prompt for global readers.
Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini: same published path
You can still send that English install prompt to Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini, because the Skill page addresses your AI assistant — not only one brand card. After install, you paste the TicNote Key into that same thread if the assistant asks for it.
You will not find a Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini card on ticnote.com/en/skill or ticnote.cn/en/skill as of 24 September 2026. TicNote does not publish Connectors, plugins, Custom GPTs, Projects, Gems, or menu-click walkthroughs for those three. This article will not invent them.
| Assistant | What TicNote publishes | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| Claude | No dedicated platform card | Paste the English install prompt into a Claude chat; send your TicNote Key in the same thread if asked |
| ChatGPT | No dedicated platform card; no plugin / Custom GPT / Project path published | Same four Quick Setup steps in a ChatGPT conversation |
| Gemini | No dedicated platform card; no Gem or Gemini UI guide published | Same four Quick Setup steps in a Gemini conversation |
If your assistant cannot download or install the Skill from that ZIP URL, you stop. You switch to a tool TicNote actually names — Codex on the .com Skill page, or Doubao, WorkBuddy, Feishu, and Codex on ticnote.cn/en/skill — rather than guessing a hidden setting.
When you need a named walkthrough: Codex
Codex is the assistant with a full English user guide on the .com Skill page. Open Set up TicNote API Skill with Codex for the published steps: open a new Codex task, paste the install prompt, enter your TicNote API Key when prompted, then send a first natural-language task. The guide says no API knowledge or coding is required, Professional or Business plan, about two minutes. The .com Skill card also prints a shorter About 1 minute Codex path; this page reports both published times.
What you can say after you connect
After your assistant is connected, the English Skill page says you need no special syntax. You pick a task, copy a sentence, and send it. Sample prompts TicNote prints include:
- Find my meetings from this week. Summarize the key decisions and action items.
- Read ‘Amazon Q2 2025 Earnings’ and organize the revenue, growth drivers, and key risks.
- Find recordings without summaries. Summarize them and organize them by project. (Marked Confirms first.)
- Read every file in this project and create a competitor analysis report.
Once you are connected, TicNote also lists six ways to work: Find, Transcribe, Summarize, Translate, Research, and Organize. Use cases include meeting-notes automation, multilingual processing, literature deep research, and auto knowledge-base maintenance. The ~2 min and Confirms first labels are TicNote’s, not a timing test this store ran.
Plan, hardware, and what this store sells
You unlock the Skill with a Professional or Business plan on TicNote. That Skill page does not print a Skill price, so you will not find one here. Recheck live plan names before you change a plan. CNPS.AI sells hardware; a recorder checkout is not API access. Hardware stays optional for the Skill. If you already own hardware and need cloud minutes next, read TicNote Cloud for TicNote hardware owners: how to choose.
FAQ
Can you use the TicNote API with Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini if there is no dedicated platform card?
Yes, at the high level TicNote already publishes: copy the English install prompt, send it to your AI assistant, then paste your TicNote Key into that same conversation if asked. As of 24 September 2026, neither Skill page prints a Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini walkthrough. You should not hunt for a Connector, Custom GPT, Gem, or plugin. If the ZIP fails, move to a named tool.
What is the TicNote API actually for in a Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini workflow?
You use it to get transcripts, notes, and other accessible TicNote content into the LLM chat you already work in. The Skill page says your assistant can upload files, transcribe audio, run deep research, retrieve completed transcripts and AI summaries, and keep analyzing that content outside TicNote’s own UI — in natural language, with no special syntax after setup.
Where do you copy the TicNote Key, and which chat should receive it?
You open your TicNote profile menu, select TicNote Key, and copy it. You paste that Key only into the conversation that just installed the Skill. Treat it like a password. Do not drop it into a second chat, a public prompt library, a shared doc, or a screenshot you send to someone else.
If Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini cannot install the Skill ZIP, what should you do next?
You stop guessing hidden settings. The English Skill page only documents sending the published install prompt to your AI assistant — not Connectors, plugins, Gems, or MCP menus for those three. Switch to Codex (full English guide), or Doubao, WorkBuddy, Feishu, or Codex on the China English Skill page, then retry there.
Does shop.cnps.ai sell the TicNote API Skill as a checkout SKU?
No. You will not find the Skill as an app checkout on this store. TicNote unlocks it with a Professional or Business plan on TicNote. CNPS.AI sells hardware only. Skill questions stay on TicNote. Hardware questions can go to sales@cnps.ai. Recheck the live Skill page before you change a plan.
Do you need a TicNote recorder or earbuds before you connect Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini?
No. The Skill gate is a Professional or Business plan, not a hardware SKU from this store. The Codex guide says you do not need to prepare anything in TicNote yet when you open a new task. You can still upload files and work from transcripts through the workflow TicNote describes, with or without a device in hand.
You now have the Claude / ChatGPT / Gemini path TicNote prints as of 24 September 2026: copy the install prompt, send it to your assistant, and paste your Key only into that same conversation.
