AI in production, engineered MVPs, SEO for founders, and why structured product beats vibe-coded demos when you scale.
Not every product needs a model on day one. Here is how we decide what AI belongs in the first release.
A thin API call is not a moat. Durable AI products own the workflow, the data, and the evaluation loop.
Search, trust, and ops are the three places AI pays off early — if supply and demand are already moving.
Autonomous agents sound impressive. Supervised assistants that draft and route work are what ops teams adopt.
Demos look perfect. Production needs test sets, failure modes, and a plan when the model is wrong.
