LLM Integration Services: GPT, Claude & Open-Source Models

I integrate large language models into your business applications -- the right model for each task, optimized for cost, speed, and accuracy.

01 / OVERVIEW

LLM Integration for Business Applications

Every business application can benefit from language AI -- but choosing the right model, building reliable integrations, and keeping costs under control requires deep technical expertise. GPT-4o is not always the answer. Sometimes Claude is better for long documents. Sometimes a EUR 0 open-source model outperforms a EUR 15/million-token API for your specific task.

I help businesses integrate LLMs into their existing software: CRM systems, helpdesk tools, e-commerce platforms, internal dashboards, and custom applications. The integration includes prompt engineering, error handling, cost optimization, and production monitoring -- not just an API call.

I am Kirill Strelnikov, a freelance AI integration developer based in Barcelona. I have built LLM-powered features for e-commerce chatbots, content generation systems, document analysis tools, and multi-model AI platforms. I work with GPT-4, Claude, Llama, Mistral, and any model that fits your requirements.

02 / WHAT I BUILD

LLM Integration Patterns

Content Generation

Product descriptions, email drafts, report summaries, marketing copy. LLM generates content following your brand voice and formatting rules. Human review optional. Batch processing for high-volume generation.

Data Extraction & Analysis

Extract structured data from unstructured text: invoices, contracts, emails, support tickets. LLM parses documents and outputs clean JSON for your database. 95%+ accuracy with validation rules.

Conversational AI

AI-powered chat in your app, website, or messaging platform. Context-aware conversations with memory, tool use, and handoff to humans. Connected to your data via RAG for accurate answers.

03 / MODELS

Models I Work With

Choosing the right model is the most important decision in any LLM project. Here is my practical comparison based on real production experience:

Cost optimization: Semantic caching with Redis reduces duplicate API calls by 30-50%. Model routing sends simple queries to cheaper models. Prompt compression reduces token usage without quality loss. Batch processing uses off-peak pricing for non-real-time tasks.

Reliability: Every integration includes retry logic with exponential backoff, fallback models (if GPT-4 is down, switch to Claude), request queuing for rate limits, and comprehensive error logging. Your application never breaks because of an API outage.

Monitoring: Real-time dashboards tracking latency, cost per query, error rates, and output quality. Alerts for cost spikes, quality degradation, and API issues. Full audit trail for compliance.

05 / PROCESS

How I Integrate LLMs Into Your Product

01

Use Case Analysis

I analyze your application, data flows, and user needs. I identify which tasks benefit from LLM integration, select the optimal model for each, and estimate costs. Deliverable: technical specification with architecture and cost projections.

02

Prompt Engineering

I design, test, and optimize prompts for each use case. This includes system prompts, few-shot examples, output formatting, guardrails, and edge case handling. Prompt quality determines 80% of output quality.

03

Integration Development

I build the integration layer: API wrappers, caching, rate limiting, error handling, model routing, and output parsing. All integrated into your existing application architecture with clean, documented code.

04

Testing & Optimization

Systematic evaluation against a test suite covering your key scenarios. I measure accuracy, latency, cost, and edge case handling. Cost optimization phase typically reduces API spend by 40-70%.

05

Launch & Monitoring

Staged rollout with monitoring. I set up dashboards, alerts, and cost tracking. Post-launch support includes prompt tuning based on real usage patterns and model updates as new versions release.

06 / CASE STUDIES

LLM Integration Projects

Multi-Model AI Aggregator (Telegram Bot)

Built a Telegram bot unifying multiple AI models in one interface. Users choose between GPT-4, Claude, and open-source models based on their task. Implemented credit-based billing, admin panel, and scalable architecture with task queues. The platform reached monetization within the first month.

Python OpenAI Claude Celery Redis

AI Chatbot for E-commerce

Integrated GPT-4 into a clothing store chatbot with product catalog knowledge. The LLM generates personalized recommendations, answers sizing questions, and handles returns -- all grounded in actual product data via RAG. Automated 70% of support and increased conversion by 35%.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which LLM model should I use for my project?
It depends on your task, budget, and data privacy needs. GPT-4o is the best general-purpose choice for most business applications. Claude 3.5 Sonnet excels at long documents and nuanced analysis. Llama 3 is the best option when data cannot leave your infrastructure. I help you choose during the discovery phase -- often the answer is a combination of models with smart routing.
How much do LLM API costs add up to monthly?
Typical monthly API costs: EUR 20-100 for light usage (100-500 queries/day), EUR 100-500 for moderate usage (500-2000 queries/day), EUR 500-2000 for heavy usage. With proper caching and model routing, I typically reduce these costs by 40-70%. I provide detailed cost projections before development starts.
Can you integrate LLMs with my existing CRM/helpdesk?
Yes. I integrate LLMs with any system that has an API: HubSpot, Salesforce, Zendesk, Intercom, Freshdesk, and custom systems. Common use cases: auto-drafting ticket responses, summarizing customer interactions, extracting data from emails, and generating reports. See my CRM integration services for more.
What about data privacy and GDPR?
For strict data privacy: Azure OpenAI keeps data in your EU tenant, self-hosted Llama/Mistral keeps everything on your servers. I implement PII detection and redaction before any data reaches external APIs. All integrations include audit logging and data processing agreements. Your compliance team gets full documentation.
What happens when LLM APIs have outages?
Every integration I build includes automatic fallback. If GPT-4 is unavailable, the system switches to Claude or a local model. Request queuing handles rate limits gracefully. Cached responses serve common queries even during complete outages. Your users never see an error -- they get a slightly different model response instead.
