Case Study: Tidalflow accelerates GenAI app development with Orq.ai

How Tidalflow delivers innovative GenAI-powered apps with Orq.ai

Tidalflow, an Amsterdam-based AI app studio behind the Lila health app, faced significant challenges scaling its generative AI features. Using OpenAI's API required them to hard-code prompts and LLM configurations directly into their backend. This made even minor changes a slow and cumbersome process, as each adjustment necessitated a full backend redeployment, creating engineering bottlenecks and hindering rapid iteration.

By implementing the Orq.ai platform, Tidalflow decoupled LLM orchestration from its codebase. The solution provided tools for managing prompts, structured outputs, and version control outside of the backend. This eliminated redeployment cycles and allowed non-engineers to iterate on AI behavior. As a result, Orq.ai helped Tidalflow dramatically accelerate its time-to-market and scale the GenAI capabilities within its Lila product more efficiently.
