From Concept to Code: 5 Steps to Building Your First LLM-Powered Mobile App

Integrating an LLM into a mobile app is more than just an API call. A successful project starts with a hyper-specific use case—don't just build a chatbot, build a 'legal contract summarizer'. Steps include: 1. Define the core user problem AI will solve. 2. Select the right model (e.g., Gemini, Claude, Llama) based on cost and capability. 3. Architect a scalable backend to manage API calls. 4. Design a responsive UI for conversational interaction. 5. Implement robust testing and monitoring. This guide provides the blueprint for a successful launch.
