In this article, we'll see how leading AI solutions such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, and Google AI Studio can be integrated with Trident using the Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) model to summarize emails, generate email replies, and rephrase email content. 

Feature Availability: BYOK is currently supported only in IN DC. It'll be supported in other DCs in future updates.
