Most AI projects begin from scratch. Mine didn't. I joined an existing production SaaS to design and integrate an AI infrastructure that could support intelligent assistants, Copilot-style workflows, and future AI capabilities without disrupting the application's existing architecture. This wasn't about calling an LLM API. It required designing a scalable AI layer with model routing, context engineering, memory management, usage limits, caching, security, and observability. This article shares the engineering decisions, trade-offs, and lessons I learned while bringing production AI into an already mature software platform.
