Freelance AI integration developer for OpenAI and Claude
I design and ship production AI features: assistants, content pipelines, semantic search and agent workflows. I work with OpenAI and Anthropic Claude, and choose the right model for each job.
Short answer
What is AI integration?
AI integration connects large language models, such as OpenAI's GPT models and Anthropic's Claude, to your website, data and tools so they do useful work. That might mean answering customer questions, writing on-brand copy, searching your documents or automating multi-step tasks, all with guardrails. I build these features end to end as a freelancer.

FAQ
AI Integration FAQ
Should I use OpenAI or Claude?
It depends on the task. I test both on your real examples and compare answer quality, speed and cost, then build a provider-agnostic layer so you can switch or use both with automatic fallback.
How much does an AI chatbot for a website cost?
An AI assistant grounded in your content starts from ₱30,000, excluding VAT. Ongoing model usage is billed by OpenAI or Anthropic to your own account, and is usually a small monthly cost at typical volumes. For international clients, AI assistants start from US$1,200.
Will the AI make things up?
I reduce this by grounding answers in your approved content (retrieval-augmented generation), limiting the assistant to defined topics, validating tool calls, and handing off to a person when it's unsure.
Is our data used to train AI models?
Both OpenAI and Anthropic state that, by default, data sent through their commercial APIs isn't used to train their models. I check the current terms for your use case, and can add data-retention and redaction controls.
Can you add AI to our existing website?
Yes. I can add an assistant, AI search or content tools to most existing sites and apps through an API and an embeddable widget, without a full rebuild.
