Description and use
<p>Connecting an AI API to an application might seem straightforward. You send a request, receive a response, and display the result to the user.</p> <p>But making that feature work reliably in a real business application requires more thought.</p> <p>What happens if the AI gives an incorrect answer? What if it cannot find the information it needs? What happens when a user asks it to perform an action they aren't allowed to take?</p> <p>These questions matter when AI becomes part of an existing workflow rather than a feature that simply generates text.</p> <p>Before integrating an AI API into
