02 / My approach · What I believe

Good AI starts with
good product judgment.

Four principles
01.

Start with the workflow. Understand the person, the decision and the information they need before choosing where AI belongs.

02.

Make the first release useful. Choose a clear workflow, make tradeoffs explicit and use feedback to decide what earns a place next.

03.

Make answers verifiable. Ground them in source information, check the cases that can go wrong and keep people in control of consequential actions.

04.

Own what happens after release. Training, adoption and the feedback loop are part of the product, just as much as the first build.
