Business :: Ideas :: QuietInbox :: Blueprint :: Research :: 7 things I wish I knew before building my first AI application

⪼ Made with 💜 by Polyglot.

7 things I wish I knew before building my first AI application:

  1. Never start with a model. Start with simple rules
  2. Framing the problem correctly is 50% of the work
  3. Most bugs live in your data
  4. Labeling is the biggest bottleneck of any solution
  5. Feedback loops will destroy your app
  6. Observability is a day 1 problem
  7. Offline evaluations are not enough

Understanding these will save you weeks of pain.
