Understanding the shift from predictive to generative AI

Generative AI adds a layer of judgment to traditional predictive models, enabling more nuanced and context-aware responses.

#2about 3 minutes

Keeping pace with the rapid acceleration of GenAI

The rapid release of new features, like increased token limits and advanced APIs, requires constant adaptation as previous tools and libraries quickly become obsolete.

#3about 5 minutes

Identifying key business opportunities for generative AI

Generative AI can solve major business challenges by managing information overload, boosting content creation, and enabling deep personalization in marketing.

#4about 5 minutes

Understanding the core components of a GenAI stack

Building a GenAI product involves integrating foundational models, vector databases for proprietary data, and user-facing clients beyond simple chatbots.

#5about 3 minutes

Building teams that thrive in GenAI's uncertainty

Effective GenAI teams prioritize curiosity and adaptability over specific roles like "prompt engineer" to handle the constant evolution of tools and APIs.

#6about 6 minutes

Adopting product management frameworks for GenAI development

Use frameworks like "Ship to Learn" for rapid iteration and focus on creating a Minimum Lovable Product (MLP) to drive organic user adoption.

#7about 5 minutes
