Meaningful AI Improvement
The build one. Find a job a product already does badly, work out whether AI genuinely does it better, and design the feature end to end — including what happens when the model is wrong.
The brief, in one line
Add AI to a product without adding a chatbot nobody asked for.
01What it asks for
Find the job
Name the task users already struggle with. AI is the answer to a question, not the question.
Justify the model
Show why a model beats a rule, a filter or a better default.
Design the feature
Entry points, output, controls, and the fallback when confidence is low.
Prove the value
Say how you would know it worked, and what would tell you to kill it.
02What the published ones share
Present in the strong ones
- A named task, not a named model
- A rule or a better default, considered and rejected first
- The fallback for when the model is not confident
- Controls that let the user correct or ignore the output
- The signal that would tell you to switch it off
Missing from the weak ones
- Any reason the job needs a model at all
- The cost of being confidently wrong in front of a user
- Where the training or context data comes from
- An entry point that fits how the product is already used
- A number that separates working from shipped
The short versionThe AI is the easy half. These read well when the writer can say what the feature does on the day the model gets it wrong, and still keep the user.
