AI Product Development

Turn model capability into a shipped, safe experience that survives contact with real users.

Track 04 of 06 Guides: 1 Level: intermediate

Strategy decides what to build; this track is about actually shipping it. The craft of AI products lives in evals, designing for the model being wrong, keeping a human in the loop where it matters, and getting a first version live. Start with evals, the most AI-specific skill of them all.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What is the most important shipping skill?

Evals. If you cannot measure whether an AI feature is good enough, you cannot ship it responsibly or tell whether a change helped. Owning evals is the clearest way a product manager adds value on an AI product.

How is shipping AI different from normal software?

AI outputs are probabilistic, so you design for a range of behaviour and for the model being wrong. That means evals, fallbacks and monitoring for drift, on top of a normal launch process.

What should I read first here?

Start with AI evals explained. Evals underpin every other shipping decision, from setting a quality bar to catching drift after launch.
