From Startup to Scale-Up: How We Build and Scale AI Product Teams at Ailylabs
summary
Ailylabs builds an AI-first B2B product that replaces manual forecasting with real‑time insights, has $17 million raised, and runs six agents launched that correlate cross‑departmental data (finance, R&D, manufacturing, HR). Claims: 80% forecasting is easy, hitting 98% accuracy target is “rocket science.” Concrete issues: unpredictable, unstructured enterprise data; vertical product teams to keep domain expertise; principal AI and data engineers running discovery; frequent QA gaps when AI output doesn’t surface in the app. Good if you want org and ops tradeoffs, not high‑level theory.
