Does AI actually make the product better?
The relevant test is whether AI changes customer value or product capability, not whether another intelligent feature can be added.
What should machines be allowed to do alone?
Physical autonomy should reflect environmental uncertainty, task complexity and the consequences when machine decisions are wrong.
Strategic challenges
AI forces choices before certainty exists
Executives must make investment and positioning decisions while technologies, economics and competitive implications continue to move.
Enterprise knowledge was never designed for LLMs
Documents, databases and repositories reflect human systems of record, creating fragmentation that models cannot resolve by themselves.
POV
An AI feature is not an AI product strategy
Adding intelligence to an existing experience is easy; deciding where AI fundamentally changes the proposition is the harder work.
Scale does not mean putting everything on one platform
A strong AI architecture standardises what should be shared while preserving choice where technologies and requirements will continue to change.
Strategic impact
Domain depth changes what AI can reliably support
Combining specialist knowledge with relevant data and workflows allows AI to address tasks that generic applications cannot contextualise.
Prototypes turn assumptions into evidence
Early experimentation can reveal how users, models and product interactions behave before architecture and investment become difficult to change.
What we observe
Autonomy cannot fix a broken workflow
We often see advanced agents layered onto fragmented processes, weak integrations and decision rights that were never clearly defined.
RAG is often mistaken for a knowledge strategy
We frequently see document retrieval implemented before information quality, structure, permissions and relevance have been addressed.
