Move beyond the chat box. Learn how an API lets your own app send prompts to AI and get answers back in code.
An API is a way for two programs to talk. Think of it as a waiter: your code hands over an order (the prompt), the kitchen (the AI) cooks, and the waiter brings back the dish (the answer).
With an AI API, you send a request with your prompt and an API key (your secret password). The AI sends back text your app can use.
This is how you build AI into a real product, not just chat with it.
