From Hype to Help: An AI Product Journey
summary
Describes three products: a weeks-to-launch website infobot that surfaces LLM hallucinations and forces grounding and context engineering, a Gemini Enterprise deploy meant to stitch fragmented corporate data that stalls without governance and human-in-the-loop controls, and an AI co‑scientist prototype aimed to cut experimental dead‑ends and shorten lab cycles by roughly 6 months. Uses 50–100 real user prompts as evaluation sets, runs weekly experiments instead of fixed roadmaps, and reports rapid learning but also clear deployment blockers when safeguards are missing.
