Jumping into Generative AI without a plan leads to wasted time & resources. Here’s how to ensure a successful Proof of Concept (PoC): 1. Define a High-Impact Use Case - Pick a business challenge where AI can drive measurable value & choose a low-complexity, high-value use case (like document processing, customer insights). 2. Assess Data Readiness - Assess data availability, quality, and see if data pipelines can integrate with modern tools like Azure Synapse. 3. Select the Right AI Stack - Choose LLMs (like GPT-4, Claude, or LLaMA 3) and optimize with cost-efficient fine-tuning while balancing accuracy with TCO. 4. Develop & Test in a Sandbox - Validate AI models using Azure AI Studio for experimentation and optimization. 5. Measure Success with Key Metrics - Track business impact through accuracy, latency, and operational cost with observability tools (like Azure Monitor). 6. Plan for Scalable Deployment - Ensure security with Azure Key Vault and embed budget guardrails (serverless APIs auto-scale without bill shock). 7. Engineer for ROI & Iterate Relentlessly - Continuously refine models using Azure Machine Learning prompt flow to audit performance & iterate efficiently. What’s your biggest roadblock in scaling AI - data silos, talent gaps, or ROI justification? Let’s discuss. #generativeai
