Over the last few years, I have built products in very different domains: generative AI, job search, education, and clinic operations.

Although the interfaces and users are different, several engineering lessons appeared repeatedly.

1. Multiple AI features still need to feel like one product

Klyro brings together streamed chat, cited web search, image analysis, and image generation.

The difficult part was not simply connecting several AI services. It was creating one consistent experience around them: shared authentication, one responsive interface, predictable errors, subscriptions, billing, and a transparent credit balance.
