Adding AI to Your Product, Without the Guesswork

The failure pattern: start with the buzzword, hunt for somewhere to bolt it on → features nobody asked for.

Do it job-first instead:

Start with the job — where does AI clearly beat the current alternative?
One clear win first — beats scattering AI across five places badly.
Engineer for reality — fallbacks + output verification (it's confidently wrong sometimes).
Measure — did it move the metric, or just add cost?

AI that solves a real job earns its place. AI added for the label adds surface area for things to break.
