Many businesses want to add AI features to their existing software, but rebuilding the entire application usually isn’t practical.
From what I’ve been researching, AI can often be integrated into an existing system through APIs, LLMs, RAG, chatbots, and workflow automation. This can help automate repetitive tasks, improve customer support, and make better use of existing business data.
The important part seems to be integrating AI without affecting the current architecture or user experience.
I found this useful overview of AI integration services that explains different integration options and how AI can work with existing applications.
Has anyone here integrated AI into an existing application? What were the biggest technical challenges you faced?
