> Use OpenRush with your AI agent.

OpenRush gives your AI agent real marketing data.

It helps Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, and other agents answer marketing questions with fresh search, competitor, keyword, and website data.

<div className="or-hero-line">
  Our top customers use OpenRush to <span className="or-pill or-pill-cyan">analyze competitors</span>, <span className="or-pill or-pill-violet">find keyword gaps</span>, <span className="or-pill or-pill-green">discover search opportunities</span>, and <span className="or-pill or-pill-red">grow organic traffic</span>.
</div>

You do not need to be a developer to start. Most people should connect OpenRush to an AI agent from the Dashboard, then ask normal questions.

## What can OpenRush help with?

OpenRush gives your agent the data it needs to research, compare, and explain what to do next.

## Questions you can ask

You can ask your agent:

* "Who are my search competitors?"
* "Which keywords are competitors ranking for that I am missing?"
* "What pages on this site bring the most organic traffic?"
* "What does Google show today for this search?"
* "What should I fix on my website first?"

OpenRush turns those questions into structured data your agent can use.

## Start in the Dashboard

Use [openrush.io/dashboard](https://openrush.io/dashboard) for the everyday workflow:

* **Setup**: connect OpenRush to your AI agent.
* **API access**: create and revoke API keys.
* **Activity**: see recent API and MCP requests.
* **Billing**: check your balance and buy credits.

## For developers

OpenRush also has a public REST API. Developers can call `/v1/tools/*` endpoints directly with an API key.

If you are building with the API, start with:

* [Authentication](/fundamentals/authentication)
* [Credits and rate limits](/fundamentals/credits-and-rate-limits)
* [Tool reference](/api-reference/tools)

<Note>
  The API is powerful, but you do not need to learn API details to use OpenRush with an AI agent.
