Fine-tuning vs RAG — which should we use?

RAG for most use cases — cheaper, faster to update, and more transparent. Fine-tuning only when you need the model to adopt a specific style or tone that cannot be achieved through prompting alone.

How much does GPT-4 integration cost?

A focused chatbot or RAG integration: $8,000–$20,000. A full AI-powered product with custom UI, RAG pipeline, and evaluation framework: $25,000–$80,000+.

How do you control OpenAI API costs in production?

Through caching, model selection (GPT-3.5 for simple tasks, GPT-4 only where needed), token budgeting, and LLM observability tools monitoring cost per query.

Can you add AI to our existing application without a full rebuild?

Yes — GPT-4 integration is typically added as new API endpoints and UI components rather than requiring architectural changes.

Is GPT-4 secure enough for sensitive data?

OpenAI offers zero data retention API options and a DPA. For highly sensitive data (PHI, financial), we design systems where sensitive data is redacted before reaching the API or use private deployment options.

OpenAI / Claude Integration — Production LLM Applications That Actually Work

Q: How do you prevent GPT-4 from hallucinating?

Through RAG, strong system prompts with explicit constraints, and output validation. No LLM is 100% hallucination-free — we design systems that detect and flag low-confidence responses.

We integrate OpenAI and GPT-4 into production applications — building RAG chatbots, AI assistants, function calling workflows, and streaming interfaces that solve real business problems at scale.

Production applications across product types — scoped to your users, stack, and growth stage.

6 product types — compare what we ship with OpenAI / Claude in production.

Product
AI Chatbots & Assistants
Domain-specific chatbots powered by GPT-4 with RAG retrieval from your knowledge base — accurate, on-brand, and hallucination-controlled.
Platform
RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)
GPT-4 connected to your documents, database, or knowledge base — answers grounded in your actual data, not hallucinated.
SaaS

GPT-4-powered document analysis, summarisation, data extraction, and classification for high-volume document processing.
Commerce
Function Calling & Tool Use
GPT-4 function calling workflows connecting the LLM to your APIs, databases, and business logic for agentic task completion.
Internal
AI-Powered Search
Semantic search replacing keyword search — users find relevant results using natural language queries against your content.
Design
Content Generation Workflows
Automated content generation pipelines — product descriptions, report drafts, email responses — with human review workflows.

WHY CODEFLAMME

Not Another Offshore Vendor

We know the hesitation. Here's exactly how we're different.

You Talk to the People Building It

No account managers relaying messages. You're in direct contact with the founder and senior engineers on your project — every sprint, every decision.

No Bench Rotation

The team that scopes your project is the team that ships it. We don't swap engineers mid-project to free them up for someone else.

NDA Before We Talk Details

Your idea and IP are protected from the first real conversation — not after contracts are signed.

Full IP, Zero Strings

Every line of code, every design file, transfers to you on delivery. No licensing, no retained rights, no surprises.

When to Choose

When OpenAI / Claude Integration Is the Right Choice

Decision scenarios where OpenAI / Claude Integration is the strongest fit — and why it earns the recommendation.

SCENARIO 01

Primary use case

You need an AI chatbot trained on your content

GPT-4 with RAG is the current best approach — accurate responses from your specific knowledge base without fine-tuning costs.

Scenario

You need document intelligence at scale

GPT-4's context window and understanding make it far superior to regex or classical NLP for extracting structured data from unstructured documents.

Scenario

You want to automate a text-based workflow

If humans are currently reading, categorising, or responding to text at scale, GPT-4 can automate 80%+ of that work with properly designed prompts.

Scenario

You need AI features fast

OpenAI's API allows AI features to be shipped in weeks rather than the months required to train custom models.
