The Problem
Building AI features into your product sounds simple: call the API, get a response, show it to users. But once you ship, reality hits:1. The Billing Problem
Your AI costs explode. One user runs 50 prompts in a loop. Another pastes their entire codebase. You’re paying for API calls you can’t control. What you need to build:- Usage tracking per user
- Budget limits and enforcement
- Real-time cost monitoring
- Stripe metering integration
- Usage-based billing logic
2. The Execution Problem
Users want AI that does things - not just generates text. They want code that runs, files that save, commands that execute. What you need to build:- Sandboxed execution environment
- File system isolation
- Process management
- Security boundaries
- Resource limits
3. The Tool Problem
Claude can call tools, but those tools need to execute somewhere. In the browser? On your server? On the user’s machine? What you need to build:- Tool execution routing
- Browser-to-server communication
- State management
- Error handling
- Retry logic
4. The Session Problem
Multi-turn conversations need state. Context windows fill up. Users want to resume where they left off. What you need to build:- Session persistence
- Context management
- Message history storage
- Resume/fork logic
