> **Bottom line:** Direct answers to common questions on AI product development and technology leadership. Each answer page leads with a 40–60 word answer, then the detail.


## What is AI product development?
AI product development is the practice of building product features whose behaviour depends on a machine-learning model, usually a language model. It differs from ordinary product work in three ways: output is probabilistic, quality must be measured with evaluations, and launch plans need guardrails for wrong answers.

## How do you evaluate an LLM feature before launch?
Build an evaluation set of at least 50 real inputs with expected outputs, grade responses with a mix of exact checks, model-based graders and human review, and set a pass threshold before launch. Run the same set on every prompt or model change so regressions are caught before users see them.
