How Do AI Wrappers Work?

A technical breakdown of how AI wrappers connect users to powerful AI models.

The Process

AI wrappers act as an interface between the user and a pre-trained AI model. Instead of sending raw prompts to an API, users interact with a structured UI or workflow that collects input, sends it to the model, and returns customized output.

For example, a logistics company could use an AI wrapper to optimize delivery routes based on real-time traffic and schedule data — all powered by a large language model in the background.

Technical Breakdown

Here's a simplified breakdown of how a typical AI wrapper works:

  1. User submits input through a web or mobile interface.
  2. The wrapper formats the input into a prompt or query compatible with an AI model (e.g., OpenAI API).
  3. The wrapper sends the request via HTTP using tools like fetch() or axios.
  4. The AI model processes the request and returns a response.
  5. The wrapper formats and displays the output in a clean, user-friendly way.

Many wrappers also store history, integrate with databases (e.g., Firebase, MongoDB), or even adjust model parameters based on user roles.
