Building with AI shouldn't mean surrendering control, sacrificing privacy, or accepting unpredictable costs.
Yet that's exactly what most AI platforms demand:
Send data to the cloud (lose privacy)
Pay per API call (unpredictable costs)
Accept black-box behavior (lose control)
Hope the service stays available (vendor dependency)
Oksana is different by design.
Privacy-first. On-device processing. Predictable costs. Complete control.
This is the developer experience we built—and why it matters.
The Traditional AI Development Experience
Typical Flow:
async function generateContent(prompt: string) {
const response = await fetch('https://api.ai-service.com/generate', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.API_KEY}`,
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: JSON.stringify({
prompt: prompt,
model: 'gpt-4',
max_tokens: 1000
})
});
const data = await response.json();
return data.choices[0].text;
}The Problems:
Privacy: User data leaves your infrastructure
Latency: Network round-trip adds 200-500ms minimum
Reliability: Depends on external service uptime
Cost: $0.03-0.12 per request adds up fast
Control: Can't inspect or modify model behavior
Compliance: Difficult to meet privacy regulations
Oksana's On-Device Experience
Same Task, Different Architecture:
import OksanaFoundation
class ContentGenerator {
private let oksana = OksanaFoundationModel()
private let m4Engine = M4NeuralEngineInterface()
func generateContent(prompt: String) async throws -> String {
let content = try await oksana.generate(
prompt: prompt,
context: .brandAware,
privacyMode: .maximum,
processingMode: .localOnly
)
return content.text
}
}The Advantages:
Privacy: All data stays on device
Speed: <50ms latency (no network)
Reliability: Works offline
Cost: Zero per-request costs
Control: Full model access
Compliance: GDPR/HIPAA friendly by design
Real Developer Workflow: TypeScript Bridge
Most developers work in TypeScript/JavaScript. Oksana's foundation is Swift/Python. The bridge makes it seamless:
import { OksanaServices } from '@oksana/foundation';
const oksana = new OksanaServices({
privacy: 'maximum',
processing: 'on-device',
brandProfile: './brand-config.json'
});
const result = await oksana.content.generate({
input: userVoiceNote,
format: ['article', 'linkedin', 'twitter'],
brandValidation: true,
seoOptimization: true
});
result.article.text
result.article.wordCount
result.linkedin.post
result.twitter.thread Key Features:
Type Safety: Full TypeScript definitions
IntelliSense: IDE autocomplete for all APIs
Error Handling: Compile-time validation
Documentation: Inline JSDoc for every method
The M4 Advantage: Local = Fast + Private
Why on-device processing is actually better than cloud:
class PerformanceDemo {
func cloudGeneration() async -> TimeInterval {
let start = Date()
let content = await cloudAPI.generate(prompt)
return Date().timeIntervalSince(start)
}
func localGeneration() async -> TimeInterval {
let start = Date()
let content = try await oksana.generate(prompt)
return Date().timeIntervalSince(start)
}
}Result: 20x faster with complete privacy.
Developer Experience Principles
1. Configuration Over Code
Define behavior declaratively:
{
"brand": {
"voice": {
"tone": ["professional", "innovative", "approachable"],
"avoid": ["jargon", "cliches", "hyperbole"]
},
"validation": {
"threshold": 0.9,
"autoCorrect": true
}
},
"processing": {
"mode": "on-device-first",
"fallback": "never",
"m4Optimization": true
},
"privacy": {
"level": "maximum",
"contextRetention": "encrypted-local-only",
"analytics": "aggregate-only"
}
}No code changes needed. Just update config.
2. Progressive Enhancement
Start simple, add complexity as needed:
const simple = await oksana.generate("Write about AI");
const formatted = await oksana.generate("Write about AI", {
format: 'article',
length: 1000
});
const advanced = await oksana.generate("Write about AI", {
format: 'article',
length: 1000,
tone: 'technical',
audience: 'developers',
brandValidation: true,
seoKeywords: ['AI', 'machine learning'],
designSystem: 'quantum-spatial',
multiChannel: ['blog', 'linkedin', 'twitter']
});Same API, scales with needs.
3. Fail-Safe Defaults
Privacy-first by default:
let oksana = OksanaFoundationModel()
Secure by default. Risky by choice.
4. Observable Everything
Full visibility into processing:
const generator = oksana.content.generate(prompt);
generator.on('stage', (stage) => {
console.log(`Stage: ${stage.name} (${stage.progress}%)`);
});
generator.on('validation', (result) => {
console.log(`Brand score: ${result.brandAlignment}`);
});
generator.on('complete', (content) => {
console.log(`Generated: ${content.text.length} words`);
});
const result = await generator.execute();Know exactly what's happening, when, and why.
Integration Examples
React Integration
import { useOksana } from '@oksana/react';
function ContentCreator() {
const { generate, loading, error } = useOksana();
const handleGenerate = async (voiceNote: AudioBlob) => {
const content = await generate({
input: voiceNote,
format: ['article', 'linkedin']
});
setArticle(content.article);
setLinkedInPost(content.linkedin);
};
return (
<div>
<VoiceRecorder onComplete={handleGenerate} />
{loading && <Spinner />}
{error && <ErrorMessage error={error} />}
{article && <ArticlePreview content={article} />}
</div>
);
}Node.js Service
import { OksanaService } from '@oksana/node';
import express from 'express';
const app = express();
const oksana = new OksanaService({
brandConfig: './brand-profile.json'
});
app.post('/api/generate', async (req, res) => {
try {
const content = await oksana.generate({
input: req.body.prompt,
format: req.body.format,
brandValidation: true
});
res.json({ success: true, content });
} catch (error) {
res.status(500).json({ success: false, error: error.message });
}
});Swift iOS App
import OksanaFoundation
import SwiftUI
struct ContentGeneratorView: View {
@StateObject private var oksana = OksanaFoundationModel()
@State private var generatedContent = ""
var body: some View {
VStack {
VoiceRecorderButton { audioData in
Task {
do {
let content = try await oksana.generate(
audioInput: audioData,
format: .article,
privacyMode: .maximum
)
self.generatedContent = content.text
} catch {
print("Error: \\(error)")
}
}
}
if !generatedContent.isEmpty {
ArticlePreview(content: generatedContent)
}
}
}
}Cost Model: Predictable & Sustainable

Oksana Costs:
Scaling changes costs from linear to flat.
Privacy Compliance Made Easy
GDPR Compliance:
const oksana = new OksanaServices({
privacy: {
dataRetention: 'user-controlled',
processing: 'on-device-only',
rightToErasure: 'immediate',
dataPortability: 'full-export'
}
});
HIPAA Compliance:
let oksana = OksanaFoundationModel(
configuration: .healthcare,
encryption: .hipaaCompliant,
auditLogging: .enabled
)
let analysis = try await oksana.analyze(
patientData: encryptedData,
processingMode: .localOnly
)Error Handling & Debugging
Comprehensive Error Types:
try {
const content = await oksana.generate(prompt);
} catch (error) {
if (error instanceof OksanaValidationError) {
console.log(`Brand score: ${error.score}`);
console.log(`Issues: ${error.issues}`);
} else if (error instanceof OksanaProcessingError) {
console.log(`Stage: ${error.stage}`);
console.log(`Recovery: ${error.suggestion}`);
} else if (error instanceof OksanaConfigError) {
console.log(`Config problem: ${error.field}`);
}
}Debug Mode:
const oksana = new OksanaServices({
debug: true,
verbose: true,
performanceMetrics: true
});
Testing & Validation
Built-in Test Utilities:
import { OksanaTest } from '@oksana/testing';
describe('Content Generation', () => {
const tester = new OksanaTest({
brandProfile: './test-brand.json'
});
it('should validate brand voice', async () => {
const result = await tester.generate({
input: 'Test prompt',
expectBrandScore: 0.9
});
expect(result.brandAlignment).toBeGreaterThan(0.9);
});
it('should process within latency target', async () => {
const result = await tester.generate({
input: 'Test prompt',
expectLatency: 100
});
expect(result.latency).toBeLessThan(100);
});
