Build AI-Driven API Requests in Your React App — With Natural Language

What if you could skip forms entirely and just tell your app what to do?

In this video, I show you how to integrate AI into a React app to generate API request payloads using natural language — even with voice input.

Instead of filling out a form to create a user, imagine typing or saying:

“Create a user with the email example@gmail.com, who is 30 years old, with phone number 123456, and password ABCDEF.”

The AI takes this prompt and converts it into a proper JSON payload — and your app then sends it to the API, just like a traditional form would.

We’ll walk through it step by step:

  1. Sending text prompts to a GenAI model
  2. Recording voice input and transcribing it to text
  3. Parsing the result into JSON and making the POST request

💡 You’ll end up with a hands-free, natural language interface for your backend — a whole new way to think about user input.

Said nobody, ever. Embeddable's dashboard toolkit is built to save dev time. It loads fast, looks native and doesn't suck like an embedded BI tool.
