AI Wrapper
A custom interface built on top of existing AI models like GPT-4 or Claude that adds specific features, workflows, or constraints for a particular use case.
What is AI Wrapper?
An AI wrapper is software that sits between you and a foundational AI model (like GPT-4 or Claude), adding custom logic, UI, or features for a specific job.
Think of it like building a specialized calculator app that uses a general math engine underneath. The wrapper handles the interface, formatting, data processing, and business logic while the AI model does the heavy lifting.
Most successful AI products are wrappers. Cursor wraps Claude for coding. Jasper wraps GPT for marketing copy. PDF chat tools wrap models to query documents. They add value through better UX, domain-specific prompts, integrations, or workflow automation.
Critics dismiss wrappers as "just calling an API," but that misses the point. The wrapper IS the product. It solves the real problem of making AI useful for specific tasks without users needing to become prompt engineers.
