After transitioning from consulting to GenAI projects, I've noticed some fascinating shifts in approach and mindset. Here's what I've learned:
🎓 Education is Key
- Founders / Teams need deep understanding of AI capabilities
- Critical to distinguish between data quality issues vs. AI limitations
- Fine-tuning ≠ behavior change; it's about control
🎯 Problem-First Approach
- Consulting: Platform sales → Problem solving
- Product: Problem solving → Platform selection
- Accuracy requires significant iteration
- 1 PRD line can spawn 100+ test cases
- Multiple design variations are common
⚙️ Building for Scale
- Focus on concrete solutions over platforms
- Balance data quality with model output
- Small teams enable rapid iteration
- Quick pivots back to fundamentals when needed
🚀 Product Development Reality
- Patience is crucial for monetization
- Innovation must be truly unique
- Products need time to get paid users. The first few cycles of the pilot
- Success relies on understanding trade-offs
🔄 Blended Role Benefits
- These experiences enhance my current work:
Workshop facilitation
- Domain-specific use case brainstorming
- Core LLM training from practitioner's view
- Business-focused advisory
