Summary

In this chapter, we learned that the act of productizing involves taking a concept, a service, or a piece of technology and developing it into a commercial product that’s suitable for the customers you’re looking to attract. As we’ve seen throughout the chapter, this work isn’t just a matter of getting your product up and running and creating a landing page for your potential customers to magically find. Productizing involves critically understanding the business model you’re working in and the ultimate audience you’re building for. Remember that AI products can be thought of as AI/ML services that are being built into traditional software products. This means that another big part of productizing for AI products involves the standardization and ritualization of the AI/ML service in a way that’s repeatable and predictable for the internal operations teams as well as the customers who will come to rely on your product.
