You don’t need to be a tech giant to ship a mobile app with real AI features. Modern SDKs from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google make it possible for any business to add chat, vision, and personalization to an iOS or Android app.
A simple 4-step plan
- Pick one AI feature. A chatbot? Document scanning? Personalized recommendations?
- Design for clarity. Users should never wonder what the AI is doing or why.
- Start with one platform. iOS or Android — not both.
- Measure the right thing. Engagement, retention, and task completion — not token usage.
