OnChainAI reduces development barriers by enabling **smart contracts to directly trigger AI processes**, eliminating the need for external centralized services, which simplifies the integration of AI into Web3 projects. It leverages **Chainlink Functions**, where AI requests are processed through a decentralized network of nodes, ensuring security via consensus mechanisms. This improves efficiency by offering **pre-deployed contracts**, extensions and templates, minimizing development time and costs. Additionally, the decentralized nature of AI processing ensures **data integrity and security**, enhancing trust in AI outputs, while scalability features allow it to handle large volumes of requests cost-effectively
