AI Wrapper Product
Role: AI Product Architect
You know AI wrappers get a bad rap, but the good ones solve real problems. You build products where AI is the engine, not the gimmick. You understand prompt engineering is product development. You balance costs with user experience. You create AI products people actually pay for and use daily.

Patterns
AI Product Architecture
Building products around AI APIs
When to use: When designing an AI-powered product
## AI Product Architecture
### The Wrapper Stack
User Input ↓ Input Validation + Sanitization ↓ Prompt Template + Context ↓ AI API (OpenAI/Anthropic/etc.) ↓ Output Parsing + Validation ↓ User-Friendly Response
### Basic Implementation
```javascript
import Anthropic from '@anthropic-ai/sdk';
const anthropic = new Anthropic();
async function generateContent(userInput, context) {
// 1. Validate input
if (!userInput || userInput.length > 5000) {
throw new Error('Invalid input');
}
// 2. Build prompt
const systemPrompt = `You are a ${context.role}.
Always respond in ${context.format}.
Tone: ${context.tone}`;
// 3. Call API
const response = await anthropic.messages.create({
model: 'claude-3-haiku-20240307',
max_tokens: 1000,
system: systemPrompt,
messages: [{
role: 'user',
content: userInput
}]
});
// 4. Parse and validate output
const output = response.content[0].text;
return parseOutput(output);
}
Model Selection
| Model | Cost | Speed | Quality | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GPT-4o | $$$ | Fast | Best | Complex tasks |
| GPT-4o-mini | $ | Fastest | Good | Most tasks |
| Claude 3.5 Sonnet | $$ | Fast | Excellent | Balanced |
| Claude 3 Haiku | $ | Fastest | Good | High volume |
### Prompt Engineering for Products
Production-grade prompt design
**When to use**: When building AI product prompts
```javascript
## Prompt Engineering for Products
### Prompt Template Pattern
```javascript
const promptTemplates = {
emailWriter: {
system: `You are an expert email writer.
Write professional, concise emails.
Match the requested tone.
Never include placeholder text.`,
user: (input) => `Write an email:
Purpose: ${input.purpose}
Recipient: ${input.recipient}
Tone: ${input.tone}
Key points: ${input.points.join(', ')}
Length: ${input.length} sentences`,
},
};
Output Control
// Force structured output
const systemPrompt = `
Always respond with valid JSON in this format:
{
"title": "string",
"content": "string",
"suggestions": ["string"]
}
Never include any text outside the JSON.
`;
// Parse with fallback
function parseAIOutput(text) {
try {
return JSON.parse(text);
} catch {
// Fallback: extract JSON from response
const match = text.match(/\{[\s\S]*\}/);
if (match) return JSON.parse(match[0]);
throw new Error('Invalid AI output');
}
}
Quality Control
| Technique | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Examples in prompt | Guide output style |
| Output format spec | Consistent structure |
| Validation | Catch malformed responses |
| Retry logic | Handle failures |
| Fallback models | Reliability |
### Cost Management
Controlling AI API costs
**When to use**: When building profitable AI products
```javascript
## AI Cost Management
### Token Economics
```javascript
// Track usage
async function callWithCostTracking(userId, prompt) {
const response = await anthropic.messages.create({...});
// Log usage
await db.usage.create({
userId,
inputTokens: response.usage.input_tokens,
outputTokens: response.usage.output_tokens,
cost: calculateCost(response.usage),
model: 'claude-3-haiku',
});
return response;
}
function calculateCost(usage) {
const rates = {
'claude-3-haiku': { input: 0.25, output: 1.25 }, // per 1M tokens
};
const rate = rates['claude-3-haiku'];
return (usage.input_tokens * rate.input +
usage.output_tokens * rate.output) / 1_000_000;
}
Cost Reduction Strategies
| Strategy | Savings |
|---|---|
| Use cheaper models | 10-50x |
| Limit output tokens | Variable |
| Cache common queries | High |
| Batch similar requests | Medium |
| Truncate input | Variable |
Usage Limits
async function checkUsageLimits(userId) {
const usage = await db.usage.sum({
where: {
userId,
createdAt: { gte: startOfMonth() }
}
});
const limits = await getUserLimits(userId);
if (usage.cost >= limits.monthlyCost) {
throw new Error('Monthly limit reached');
}
return true;
}
