AI API Integration
When internal systems need to call AI capability directly, and that access has to be authenticated, rate limited, and auditable like any other internal service.
Exposing AI through an internal API turns a capability into infrastructure other teams can build on. The requirements are ordinary service requirements: authentication, quotas, versioning, and logs.
The AI-specific addition is cost. Unlike most internal services, each call has a variable price, which makes per-consumer budgets more than a nicety.
What the work includes
- Internal API surface with authentication and per-consumer quotas
- Versioning so behaviour changes do not break callers silently
- Cost attribution per consuming team or application
- Audit logging consistent with the rest of your service estate
