Before building an AI product, pause. Founders often rush into LLM-based products, assuming AI delivers instant, flawless results. Reality check: this mindset breaks startups. Understand these before scoping an AI product: - How LLMs work (data, tokens, context windows — @karpathy videos are a great start). - Token limits and context engineering. - Output latency — generating tokens takes time. - Speed vs. accuracy trade-offs. For audio or call-related products, latency and token limits can ruin user experience if ignored. Founders: AI is powerful, not magical. Investors: stop buying “AI solves everything” pitches.
