Attendees: All Hands
Key Discussion Points
Project Overview & Development Strategy
- The team is developing an AI prompt tool for content creators in collaboration with a not-for-profit, with an 11-week timeline for the MVP.
- Prioritization of workflows over individual features was emphasized to ensure an effective user-centered product.
Identifying Core Problems & Avoiding Scope Creep
- Mapping user personas, pain points, and business impact will guide mission and vision statements.
- The team should focus on high-value features for the MVP, avoiding unnecessary complexity.
AI Implementation & User Needs
- Not all AI solutions improve user experience—the team must assess whether AI is the best solution or if traditional methods would work better.
- When a client mandates AI, clear comparisons between AI and non-AI solutions should be provided.
Understanding Gen AI & Agentic AI
- The distinction between Gen AI (text-based) and Agentic AI (interactive, goal-oriented) was discussed.
- The team must evaluate which AI features are necessary for the MVP rather than adding complexity.
Data & User Feedback in AI
- Data quality is critical for AI functionality—feedback loops such as thumbs up/down or Google Forms should be integrated.
Challenges in AI Product Adoption & Retention
- AI tools must solve real problems rather than just being novel tech.
