AI Features & LLM Integration
AI features should make your product 10x better at its core job, not be a marketing checkbox. This skill helps you choose the right AI pattern, manage costs, and ship AI features that users actually value.
Core Principles
- AI features should make your product 10x better at its core job, not be a marketing checkbox.
- Start with the API, not a custom model. You don't need to train anything.
- Cost per API call matters at scale. Design for it from day one.
- Prompt engineering is your product differentiator. The model is the same for everyone.
- Always have a fallback. AI features should degrade gracefully, not crash the app.
