Back to S13 E9: Forward-Deployed AI: Moving Enterprise Pilots into Real Production with Pooja Brown, CTO at Tribe AI, with Pooja Brown.

What Is a Tribe AI Minimum Viable Product?

Pooja Brown says a minimum viable product at Tribe AI is a real product doing a job people usually do by hand. It is not a demo and it is not a pilot. As chief technology officer, she does not get to pick one minimum viable product. The goal is to make all projects successful.

Tribe AI has to get a minimum viable product in every enterprise the team walks into. Pooja Brown asks how to pick the first right use case in production that is actually doing real work. She also asks how to bring each minimum viable product to life with real systems and with real users who are getting value. She says the effort since she joined has been getting the minimum viable products out as quickly as the team can.
