Building an AI app in 2026 isn't just about choosing an LLM.

It's about orchestrating an entire stack, from the user's first click to the model's final response.

Most people see ChatGPT and think "AI." But behind every modern AI product, there are 9 layers working together.

Here's the complete tech stack powering modern AI apps:
