PRINCIPLES FOR BUILDING EFFECTIVE VERTICAL AI PRODUCTS

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

Vertical AI takes the workflows of the best practitioners and codifies them into agentic systems that deliver capability, quality, and efficiency a third-party frontier model can't match. The challenge is finding workflows and translating them into products, context layers, agentic harnesses, data systems, and feedback loops. Seamless transition requires an organization and culture that brings world-class GTM and engineering to the same table every day. The organization's people need to speak a common language and rapidly build based on that shared vernacular and best practices.
