AI Product: Idea to Shipped Tool (Capstone)

by bam

The Builder-track capstone: take one real problem and ship one real AI tool, end to end. You'll scope the problem and pin a success metric, choose the right approach (prompt vs. RAG vs. agent vs. fine-tune), design the UX and human-in-the-loop, build a thin MVP, add guardrails and an eval set, run a cost/latency/security review, ship with monitoring, then document and iterate, finishing with a capstone brief you could hand to a teammate. It synthesizes F2 (Building with AI) and B1 to B5 of the Builder track and carries the Learn.WitUS trust DNA throughout: cited, validated, honest, affordable. F2 and B1 to B5 are the recommended prerequisites.
