# Videos

> **Bottom line:** Short, answer-first videos on AI product development and technology leadership. Each video is summarised in text on its topic hub, with key points and chapters.


- [Should this feature use AI? A one-page test](https://manasdasgupta.com/ai-engineering/#should-this-feature-use-ai) (11:20): Most features that teams want to build with AI do not need it. This video walks through a one-page test: is the task tolerant of occasional errors, is there data to evaluate against, and is the cost of a wrong answer acceptable? If any answer is no, use rules or search instead.
- [Write the evaluation before the feature](https://manasdasgupta.com/ai-engineering/#evaluations-before-features) (14:05): An evaluation set is a list of real inputs with the answers you expect. Building it before the feature forces the team to agree on what good looks like, catches regressions when prompts or models change, and turns quality debates into numbers. Start with 50 examples; grow it from production failures.
- [Channel trailer: what this channel covers](https://manasdasgupta.com/videos/#channel-trailer) (02:00): A two-minute introduction to the channel: short, answer-first videos on AI product development and technology leadership, each built around one question a practitioner actually asks. New videos every [REPLACE: cadence].
