How to Architect a Real AI Application in 2025

2025-12-11

Real AI apps follow layers:

🧱 Layer 1 — API

Endpoints, auth, rate limits, logging.

🧠 Layer 2 — Model layer

Different models for:

  • generation
  • embedding
  • classification
  • planning

🛠️ Layer 3 — Tools

Tools give the model superpowers:

  • SQL
  • scrapers
  • Telegram
  • HTTP
  • Python execution

📚 Layer 4 — Memory

  • vector store
  • cache
  • database
  • logs

🔁 Layer 5 — Task engine

Manages planning, retries, timeouts, and structured output.

👁️ Layer 6 — Observability

Logs, traces, metrics.

🎨 Layer 7 — UI

CLI, Flask, React, Telegram — doesn't matter.
UI is not the app.

🐸 GhostFrog example

GhostFrog already uses:

  • scrapers
  • models
  • ROI logic
  • logs
  • Telegram delivery
  • Postgres pipelines

This is real architecture — not a toy.
