LLM integration

A language model inside your product. Tested, costed and replaceable.

We connect models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google or an open-source option to the software you already run. The work is the layer around the model: prompts, structured output, validation, cost control and a way to change provider later.

Is this the right service?
  • Model selection
  • Structured output
  • Cost and latency
  • Provider independence
Where the integration layer sits
  1. Your application

    Sends a task with only the data the model needs.

  2. Integration layer

    Builds the prompt, calls the model and checks what comes back.

  3. Model provider

    A hosted API or a model you run yourself. Replaceable.

Your application talks to the layer, not to one provider.

01 / Is this the one

Is a direct integration what you need?

This is the simplest of the AI services. It fits when the task is narrow and you can say what a correct output looks like.

The right choice when

  • An existing product needs one or two AI features: summarising, classifying, extracting or drafting.
  • The input and the expected output are clear enough to test.
  • You want to be able to change model or provider without rewriting the product.

Look elsewhere when

  • The model must answer from your own documents. Start with a RAG system.
  • It must take actions across several systems by itself. That is an agent.
  • An off-the-shelf AI tool already does the job. Buying is cheaper than building.

02 / What the work covers

The layer between your code and the model.

Calling a model takes an afternoon. Making the feature dependable takes the rest of the project.

  1. 01

    Task and test set

    Real inputs with the outputs you expect, used to compare models and catch regressions.

  2. 02

    Model choice

    Candidates compared on quality, price, speed and data terms. No default favourite.

  3. 03

    Integration layer

    Prompts, structured output, validation, retries and fallbacks behind one interface in your code.

  4. 04

    Data and cost controls

    Only the fields a task needs are sent. A fast decision model can read each request first and send it to the cheapest model that passes your tests; we have started using Jev for that step. Cost, speed and failures are tracked for each feature.

03 / Limits and risks

What stays uncertain after launch.

Output is not fixed

The same input can give different output. Tests reduce surprises. Critical decisions still need a rule or a person.

Providers change models and prices

Models are retired and repriced on the provider’s schedule. Switching is practical, but each switch needs retesting.

Running costs are separate

Model usage is billed by the provider, not by us. We estimate it in the pilot. Real traffic decides the figure.

04 / Built and operated by NSDBytes

FocusPulse: the AI product we build and run.

Our own AI product. India market news as short briefings on Telegram and Web Chat, each story linked to the listed company, commodity, index or currency it concerns. It shows a team that keeps an AI product running every day, not only a prototype.

What this does not show

A client project. FocusPulse is our own product, and we have no published case study for a client LLM integration.

05 / What to do next

Price it, compare it or talk it through.

The first step is a free scoping call about one feature. Bring a few real inputs and the output you would want back. A written estimate follows.

A little clarity

Before an integration begins.

Why should my company invest in custom LLM Integration Services instead of using out-of-the-box AI tools?

Often it should not. If a ready-made tool does the job, use it. A custom integration is worth it when the feature must live inside your own product, use your own data and rules, or meet data-handling terms that a general tool cannot.

How does NSDBytes ensure our data remains private when integrating public models like OpenAI or Claude?

We cannot make a third-party service private, so we design around it. Only the fields a task needs are sent, sensitive values can be masked first, and we go through each provider’s data terms with you. Where data must not leave your environment, a model you host is the option.

How do you handle model updates and prevent our software from breaking when an AI vendor deprecates an older model?

Your application calls an integration layer, not the provider. When a model is retired, the change is made in that layer and the test set is run again before release. It still takes work, because a new model can behave differently on the same prompt.

Which model should we use?

The one that passes your tests at a cost and speed you accept. We compare candidates on your own examples. Many products end up with a smaller, cheaper model for routine requests and a stronger one for the hard cases, with a routing step in front that decides which is which.

How much does an LLM integration cost?

It depends on how many features use the model and how strict the checks on its output must be. First releases at NSDBytes start from $5,000. The project cost estimator gives a range for an AI build, and a fixed quote follows a free scoping call. Hosting and AI model usage are billed by their providers and are separate.
