OpenAI API Integration in Bath

Wiring the OpenAI API into a Bath business's own software rather than having staff work in a chat window. Building against the API is where the control lives — what data goes out, which model handles which task, what the monthly bill looks like, and what happens when a request fails at three in the morning.

Why this comes up

The problem

The AI feature works when someone tries it by hand. In production it occasionally times out, sometimes returns text where JSON was expected, and the spend is a surprise each month.

What you get

What we deliver

  • Server-side integration, so API keys never reach a browser
  • Structured output where the response feeds code rather than a person
  • Retries with backoff, because rate limits and transient failures are normal not exceptional
  • Streaming where a user is waiting, since perceived speed is most of the experience
  • Per-request cost tracked and attributed, not discovered on the invoice
  • Model routing, so simple requests do not run on your most expensive model

OpenAI API Integration in Bath — common questions

Can we call the API from the front end?
No — that exposes your key to anyone who opens developer tools, and the abuse is automated within hours. Calls go through your own server, which also gives you the natural place to apply rate limits and log usage.
How do we get reliable JSON back?
Use structured output rather than asking for JSON in the prompt and hoping. Parsing free text with a regular expression works in testing and fails on the input you did not think of, which is the one that reaches production.
What happens when we hit rate limits?
You get a 429 and need to retry with exponential backoff — the official SDKs do some of this for you. Designing as though it will not happen is the most common cause of an AI feature that works in demo and breaks under load.
How do we keep costs from running away?
Route by task so cheap models handle the simple majority, cap request size, cache repeated context, and track spend per feature rather than in aggregate. Without attribution you cannot tell which feature is expensive, only that the total went up.
Do you work with businesses across Somerset?
Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South West, including Bath and the surrounding Somerset area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
What kind of Bath businesses do you usually work with?
Visitor booking and ticketing for heritage operators, and brand work for independents competing on a very crowded high street. Beyond that we work across Tourism & Heritage, Higher Education, Professional Services, Retail and Software.
Do you cover the areas around Bath?
Yes — we work throughout South West, including Bristol, Salisbury, Gloucester. Bath is an urban area of roughly 95,000+, and we take on work across the wider Somerset region rather than the city boundary alone.
