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.

Founders are building products faster than ever with tools like v0, Galileo, and Lovable. They're great at generating UI. But as soon as a product grows beyond a few screens, the real design challenges begin. This carousel covers a few places where AI-generated interfaces often fall short and where product design creates the most value. Swipe through, and let me know if you've run into any of these while building or designing a product.
