Building AI Apps: Why Infrastructure Matters

When building AI applications, developers often focus on the model, the prompts, and the user experience. But there's a critical piece that can make or break your app: infrastructure.

The Hidden Complexity

AI apps need more than just an LLM API. They need:

• Email delivery for notifications and user communication
• Payment processing for monetization
• File storage for user uploads and generated content
• Database for user data and application state
• Authentication for secure access

Setting up each of these services individually is time-consuming and error-prone.

The Smart Services Approach

Smart Services provides a unified API for all these core services. Instead of managing multiple providers, API keys, and configurations, you get:

// Send an email
await smartServices.email.send({
  to: '[email protected]',
  subject: 'Welcome!',
  html: '<h1>Welcome to our app</h1>'
});

// Process a payment
await smartServices.payments.charge({
  amount: 2999,
  currency: 'usd',
  customer: customerId
});

Focus on What Matters

By abstracting away infrastructure complexity, you can focus on what makes your AI app unique: the user experience, the prompts, and the value you deliver.
