Built a ai wrapper / llm app with Poolside?
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 Poolside apps
Building a ai wrapper / llm app with Poolside 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 Poolside ai wrapper / llm app
Common Poolside issues we fix
Beyond ai wrapper / llm app-specific issues, these are Poolside patterns we commonly fix.
Code-only focus misses authentication requirements
Poolside generates high-quality application code but doesn't add authentication, authorization middleware, or access control by default — leaving API endpoints and data unprotected.
Generated code may not fit your project's architecture
Poolside produces idiomatic, high-quality code, but without deep knowledge of your project's specific architectural patterns, the generated code may conflict with your established service layers and module boundaries.
No deployment or infrastructure awareness
Poolside focuses on application code and does not generate Dockerfiles, deployment scripts, environment configuration, or CI/CD setup. Production deployment requires separate work.
Input validation present in generated code but not at API boundaries
Poolside validates data within functions but may skip HTTP-layer input validation — allowing malformed or oversized payloads to reach application logic before being caught.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a ai wrapper / llm app with Poolside?
Poolside 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 Poolside leave in ai wrapper / llm apps?
Common issues include: code-only focus misses authentication requirements, generated code may not fit your project's architecture, no deployment or infrastructure awareness. For a ai wrapper / llm app specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for api cost management.
How do I make my Poolside ai wrapper / llm app production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Poolside-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 Poolside-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.
