Spent this week wiring AI features into production iOS apps - chat assistants, document understanding, and voice-to-summary flows.
Three things make or break these integrations.
1. Never ship the API key in the binary. Extracting a hardcoded key from an IPA takes minutes - use a proxy or secure storage.
2. Stream the response. The same feature feels 10x faster when tokens render as they arrive instead of after a long spinner.
3. Cap the spend. Per-user token budgets keep the API bill predictable before the invoice surprises anyone.
I have been building fintech-grade iOS apps in Swift and SwiftUI for 5+ years. If you are weighing an AI feature for your app, happy to share what is realistic before you commit a budget.

Voted Human. The photo feels warmer and fits a therapist app better than the waveform.
Denty — From Consultation to Signed Consent. Built with Base44.
For this #Base44Challenge, I wanted to showcase something beyond a landing page or a beautiful prototype.
A real product. Solving a real problem.
Meet Denty, an AI-powered dental platform designed to simplify clinical documentation and patient consent workflows.
Here's what makes it different.
Instead of manually preparing everything after a consultation, a dentist can upload a transcript and let AI extract the relevant patient information.
The clinician remains in control, reviewing and editing the extracted details before preparing documents.
From there, Denty supports treatment planning, consent form generation, clinical document management, secure signature requests, and downloadable signed PDFs.
It also supports multi-clinic operations, team management, and activity tracking.
Why Base44?
I wanted to move quickly without compromising the product experience.
Base44 helped with application development, data integration, and AI features. But building a usable product required much more than prompts: thoughtful UX, careful design, testing, debugging, and repeated improvements.
Why a 6-minute video instead of 30 seconds?
Because I wanted to demonstrate the product rather than simply show it.
30 seconds can introduce an idea. It cannot meaningfully demonstrate every step of a workflow like this.
In the full recording, you'll see Denty create structured information from a consultation, generate documents, send a signature request, and demonstrate the patient signing process.
This is a functional product, developed for a real-world use case, shared with my client's approval.
We're preparing to launch on Monday.
