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.
