AI integration for existing apps

AI added to the web and mobile apps you already run, so you don't have to rebuild to get the benefit. We add a new capability to a product that already exists. Your app, your data and your users stay where they are, and the AI slots in through your current APIs. That capability might be a chatbot, smarter search, or recommendations. What you end up with is production AI you can put in front of real users, running inside the product you already have.

the basics

What is AI integration?

Adding AI to a product you already run is one of the ways we build AI, and this page is the deep dive on that route. If you're starting a new AI product from scratch instead, that's our broader AI development services. Here's what integration means in practice.

AI integration

A model starts working inside the product you already have and does something useful with what's there: it answers a question from your content, ranks or recommends items you already hold, or turns a recording into a summary. In practice that's an API link to a model, your own data feeding it so answers stay grounded, and the wiring back into your existing screens.

Not a rebuild

You don't have to build a new AI product from scratch to get the benefit. You keep the product you run and add the capability on top, so the feature acts on your real data without starting over.

No rebuild required

The AI slots into the product you already run, added through your current APIs. We did exactly this on our own site: we added an AI project estimator to wolfpack-digital.com without rebuilding it.

Grounded in your own data

A useful AI feature is only as good as what it can draw on. We connect the model to the data your app already holds, such as a product catalogue, so its answers come from your own content. For an online bookstore we work with, the assistant recommends real books the shop actually sells, never invented titles.

Works with the systems you already use

We wire AI into your existing setup: catalogues, carts, wishlists, document stores and the third-party tools you rely on. The feature reads and acts on your live data, so it reflects real stock and current pricing rather than a stale copy.

Model choice you're not locked into

We pick the AI model that fits your budget and speed, whether that's Claude, OpenAI's ChatGPT, Gemini, or an open-source one, and we can change it later. The model can be swapped in production, moving from one provider to another without rebuilding the app around it.

Advantages of integrating AI into your existing app

wolf

A chatbot or copilot inside your app

An assistant your users talk to, grounded in your own content so it answers about your business. It recommends real items from your live catalogue and drops them straight into the shopper's existing cart and wishlist.

Smart search over your data

Plain-language search and question-answering across your catalogue, so people find the right thing by describing it in their own words.

Recommendations grounded in your catalogue

Suggest the right item from what your product already holds, based on what a user is looking at or has done, surfaced inside the app they already use rather than a generic model's guess.

Summaries and transcription (voice AI)

We plug in third-party AI APIs that turn recordings and conversations into clean, fact-only text. On Fyl we wired in Deepgram for transcription and Mistral for summaries, with fallback logic for when a provider fails. On SOARR, voice AI turns a clinician's spoken account of a visit into structured notes, with voice macros and custom instructions that fit the way they already document.

Document extraction with a review step

Pull structured data out of PDFs and forms automatically, with an optional step where a staff member checks the extracted fields before they're used. Useful where accuracy and accountability matter.

Fairness and responsible-AI tooling for your ML

If you already run machine-learning models, this plugs into your existing pipeline. Equality AI, a 2024 Webby winner, is an end-to-end fairness framework we built that applies to teams' existing model-fitting workflows to reduce bias in clinical-decision models.

What you can add to your product

process

How we integrate AI into an app you already run

01

Audit your app and your data

We start with what you've got: the product, the APIs and the data it already holds. AI quality starts with data quality, so we map and model that data first, and we're honest about where AI genuinely helps this product and where it isn't the answer.

02

Scope the feature and cost the model

We prioritise what to build first and work out the ongoing running costs, covering the model API, hosting and processing, before anyone commits. You approve the scope and the approach up front.

03

Build it and wire it into your existing app

We build the feature around the model: the retrieval, the grounding in your data, the memory and the interface. Then we connect it to your existing APIs and screens, and where the feature needs current data, we keep it in sync with your live system.

04

Evaluate and ship inside your product

Before it goes live, and after each change, we test the feature for accuracy and quality, add guardrails, and measure it against real product metrics once it's in front of users.

Responsible AI and security

Putting AI into a product that's already live raises fair questions about data and trust, and we build for them. We handle sensitive data under ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 practices and GDPR, with privacy designed into the architecture from the start.

Where an AI feature processes personal data, we can add an explicit consent step, as we did on Fyl, where users consent before their recordings are processed by AI. And where people rely on what the AI produces, we build in safeguards against hallucination, as we did on SOARR, so the output stays faithful to what was actually said.

In practice, a model starts working inside your existing app through its APIs, draws on the data you already hold, and shows up in the screens your users already use. That might be a chatbot, smarter search, recommendations or automatic summaries. Your app stays where it is and the AI slots in on top.
No. We add the AI capability to the product you already run, through your existing APIs, and we've done it on our own live site and on clients' running products.
Yes. Adding AI to an app you already run is one route; we also build new AI products end to end. SOARR, for example, was built from the ground up. If you're starting fresh, our full AI development services cover that.
Common ones are a chatbot or copilot grounded in your own content, plain-language search over your data, recommendations from your catalogue, automatic summaries and transcription of recordings, document extraction with a review step, and fairness tooling for teams already running machine-learning models.
Whichever fits your product, on budget and speed: Claude, OpenAI's ChatGPT, Gemini, or an open-source model. We're not tied to one provider, and we can change the model later if your needs shift.
To ground the AI in your business, we connect to the relevant data your app already holds, such as the catalogue or records the feature will draw on. We map and model that data first, because the quality of the feature depends on it, and we only connect what the feature actually needs.
We ground the feature in your own data so it answers from your business instead of guessing, and we test it for accuracy before it goes live and after each change, with guardrails and, where it matters, safeguards against hallucination, as we did on SOARR. Where an AI feature processes personal data, we can also add an explicit consent step, as we did on Fyl.
Yes. Our AI work ranges from a single feature to a full product, so you can add one capability, see how it performs with real users, and expand from there.
We wire the feature into your existing app carefully and cost the running load up front. Where a provider could fail, we build in fallback logic, as we did on Fyl, so the feature stays reliable.
An AI feature carries ongoing running costs, mainly the model API calls, hosting and processing. We estimate those up front, before you commit, so the bill holds no surprises, and we factor them into which model and approach we recommend.
We add AI to products that are already live, and we've done it in production, including an AI estimator we built into our own site, Fyl's voice AI, and a recommendation assistant inside an online store. We're a senior team of 70+ across Cluj-Napoca and Dublin, building software since 2015, ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certified and GDPR-compliant. AI integration is one part of our wider AI development services, and you can see how we build in our AI-native development approach.
