Base44 + AI Wrapper / LLM App

Built a ai wrapper / llm app with Base44?
We'll make it production-ready.

AI wrapper apps — products built on top of OpenAI, Anthropic, or other LLM APIs — have unique production challenges. The AI model is a black box that's slow, expensive, and unpredictable. Your app needs to handle variable response times, API failures, cost management, and output quality control in ways that standard web apps don't.

AI Wrapper / LLM App challenges in Base44 apps

Building a ai wrapper / llm app with Base44 is a great start — but these challenges need attention before launch.

API cost management

LLM API calls are expensive. A single unoptimized prompt can cost cents per request — which adds up fast with real users. You need token counting, cost tracking, usage limits per user, and prompt optimization to stay profitable.

Response time variability

LLM responses take 1-30 seconds depending on prompt complexity, model load, and output length. Your UI needs streaming responses, loading states, and timeout handling. Users abandon apps that feel slow.

Error handling for AI responses

The AI model might: return an error, time out, return malformed output, refuse to answer, or hallucinate. Each case needs specific handling. AI tools build the happy path but not the many failure modes.

Prompt injection and security

Users can manipulate your AI's behavior through carefully crafted inputs — making it ignore instructions, reveal system prompts, or produce harmful output. Input sanitization and output validation are essential.

Rate limiting and queuing

LLM APIs have rate limits. When many users make requests simultaneously, you need a queue system to manage the flow and provide feedback to waiting users. Without this, users get API errors during peak usage.

Output quality control

LLM responses aren't deterministic — the same prompt can produce different quality results. You need output validation, retry logic for poor responses, and potentially human review for critical outputs.

What we check in your Base44 ai wrapper / llm app

API key security — LLM API keys stored server-side, never exposed to client
Cost controls — per-user limits, token counting, usage monitoring
Streaming implementation — proper SSE/streaming for LLM responses
Error handling — timeouts, rate limits, model errors, malformed output
Prompt injection protection — input sanitization, output validation
Rate limiting — user-level and application-level limits
Caching — caching identical or similar requests to reduce costs
Monitoring — cost tracking, latency tracking, error rates

Common Base44 issues we fix

Beyond ai wrapper / llm app-specific issues, these are Base44 patterns we commonly fix.

highDeployment

Platform lock-in makes it expensive to migrate to self-hosted infrastructure

Base44 applications run on Base44's infrastructure with proprietary abstractions. If you need to migrate to AWS, Vercel, or a custom backend, you must substantially rewrite the application since the generated code is tightly coupled to Base44's runtime.

highSecurity

Auto-generated backend API lacks input validation and allows malformed data into the database

Base44's generated REST API endpoints often accept and persist any data that matches the field type without business-rule validation — missing required fields, out-of-range values, or invalid relationships are stored without error.

mediumCode Quality

Limited customization of business logic after the initial app generation

Once Base44 generates the application structure, adding custom business logic that deviates from the generated patterns — complex workflows, conditional processing, third-party integrations — requires working around the platform rather than with it.

mediumBugs

Database schema changes after initial generation are difficult and risk data loss

Modifying the generated database schema after data has been collected — adding columns, changing relationships, renaming tables — is fragile in Base44 and may require manual data migration that the platform does not assist with.

Frequently asked questions

Can I build a ai wrapper / llm app with Base44?

Base44 is a great starting point for a ai wrapper / llm app. It handles the initial scaffolding well, but ai wrapper / llm apps have specific requirements — api cost management and response time variability — that need professional attention before launch.

What issues does Base44 leave in ai wrapper / llm apps?

Common issues include: platform lock-in makes it expensive to migrate to self-hosted infrastructure, auto-generated backend api lacks input validation and allows malformed data into the database, limited customization of business logic after the initial app generation. For a ai wrapper / llm app specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for api cost management.

How do I make my Base44 ai wrapper / llm app production-ready?

Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Base44-built ai wrapper / llm apps, the critical path is: security review, then fixing core flow reliability, then deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.

How much does it cost to fix a Base44-built ai wrapper / llm app?

Our code audit is $19 and gives you a complete report of issues. Fixes start at $199 with our Fix & Ship plan. For larger ai wrapper / llm app projects, we provide a custom fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing.
