Start with the workflow
An AI product should begin with a real job someone is already trying to do. The model is not the product by itself. The product is the improved workflow.
What makes AI useful

- Define the user and the decision.
- Decide what the AI should automate, assist, or explain.
- Build fallbacks for uncertainty.
