AI full stack is six layers

Frontend: what the user sees and touches

Backend: the brain that decides what happens

Data: the memory that remembers between visits

Auth: the gatekeeper: who's in, and what they see

AI: the intelligence that reasons, generates, and responds

Integration: the connectors that talk to APIs, tools, and the outside world
