Learn how to use the built-in AI in Superdev
What is the built-in AI integration?
Superdev comes with a powerful built-in AI integration that allows you to easily add AI capabilities to your app without managing API keys or handling complex AI service integrations yourself.
How does it work?
When you ask Superdev to integrate AI functionality (like “analyze user feedback sentiment” or “generate product descriptions”), Superdev automatically uses its built-in AI integration by default. This integration:
- Uses OpenAI GPT-4.1 under the hood for high-quality responses
- Handles API management - no need for your own OpenAI API key
- Supports both text generation and structured data - can return plain text or JSON objects with specific schemas
- Counts as integration requests based on your Superdev plan
When to use the built-in AI integration?
The built-in AI integration is perfect for most common AI use cases:
- Text analysis: Sentiment analysis, content categorization, language detection
- Content generation: Product descriptions, email templates, social media posts
- Data extraction: Extracting structured information from unstructured text
- Conversational features: Chatbots, Q&A systems, customer support
- Content moderation: Detecting inappropriate content or spam
Example use cases:
Sentiment Analysis
“When a user submits a review, analyze the sentiment and store it as positive/negative/neutral”
Content Generation
“Generate a product description based on the product name and features”
Data Extraction
“Extract contact information (name, email, phone) from a business card text”
Smart Categorization
“Automatically categorize support tickets based on their content”
Built-in vs Custom Backend Functions
| Built-in AI Integration | Custom Backend Functions |
|---|---|
| ✅ No API key required | ❌ Requires your own API key |
| ✅ Counts as integration requests | ❌ Costs based on your API usage |
| ✅ Quick setup, works immediately | ⏱️ More setup required |
| ✅ Good for standard AI tasks | ✅ Full control over AI models/providers |
| ❌ Limited customization | ✅ Advanced customization options |
When to use custom backend functions instead?
Consider creating a custom backend function for AI when you need:
- Specific AI models (Claude, Gemini, custom models)
- Advanced prompt engineering with complex chains
- Multiple AI provider integrations in one function
- Custom rate limiting or caching
- Integration with specialized AI services (speech-to-text, image recognition)
How to get started?
Simply describe what you want in the Superdev chat:
Example: “When users upload a document, extract the key information and summarize it in 3 bullet points”
Superdev will automatically:
- Set up the AI integration
- Create the necessary UI components
- Handle the data flow between your app and the AI
- Store or display the results as needed
