Production AI

Turn a working demo into a system people can rely on.

the point

Production AI is mostly product engineering: reliability, cost, latency, observability, feedback, and iteration.

start here

go deeper

understanding check

You should be able to…

  • identify the failures users actually feel
  • track cost, latency, quality, and feedback
  • design fallbacks for model and retrieval failures
  • know what must be monitored after launch

prove it by building

Ship a small AI product slice

advanced · next.js, model API, database, auth provider, logging

make

a deployed AI feature with auth, usage limits, feedback capture, and basic observability

definition of done

include a demo link, failure-mode notes, and one iteration driven by feedback or evals
