Quick answer
To future-proof a custom web app with AI, build a solid, well-structured product first, then add AI through clean, swappable integrations, so you can change models, control costs and add new capabilities without rewriting the app. Focus AI on tasks your users repeat often: search, summarising, drafting, classification and automation.
