The talk
From Prototype to Production
A walkthrough of what it actually takes to build and ship AI features in production: how modern AI apps are structured (LLMs, RAG, APIs), the common failure modes around latency, cost, and unpredictable outputs, and practical patterns pulled from real-world systems.
What's covered
Five things that break in production
Anatomy of a production AI app
LLMs, RAG pipelines, and the APIs that glue them together.
The gap between demo and product
Why a working prototype is maybe 20% of the real engineering effort.
Latency & cost tradeoffs
Streaming, caching, model selection, and the economics of scale.
Taming unpredictable outputs
Guardrails, evals, structured output, and graceful failure.
Patterns from real systems
Lessons pulled from shipping AI features that survive contact with users.
