The future is not near, it’s here: and it's powered by AI. As more and more apps integrate AI into their features, it’s important to keep up with this trend, because soon it will become a requirement.

In this session, I will guide you through my experience and lessons learned while creating NativePal: a GPT-powered language learning Flutter app. We will discuss practical decisions regarding integration, functionality, security, and performance. Through real-world examples, we'll explore:

- Decision-making between using OpenAI client SDK and Cloud Functions
- Techniques for configuring GPT to return consistent and custom response models
- Strategies for maintaining conversation context and history
- What to do when prompting is not enough: functions vs fine-tuning
- Possibilities beyond text generation
- …and more!
