# Client Providers (CPs)

CPs are apps that provide accessible user interfaces, so their users don’t have to trigger API endpoints. Those apps can be both, either Web2 applications or Web3 / DApps. CPs play an important role in making Griffin AI accessible to a broad user base. Next to enabling their application and their user base to access AI Services, they may extend their offering to include account management and payment collection.  

Client Provider might offer their users complimentary access to their services to increase the value proposition of their solution – or they might choose to charge their clients fees.  

Moreover, CPs may choose to contribute to the maintenance and stability of the Griffin AI network by operating a Node, otherwise they can integrate utilizing the Griffin SDK.
