Chapter 1. Fundamental of AI Startups
Abstract
Artificial intelligence is a machine that can reproduce human cognitive capabilities and perform better than humans in scale, speed, endurance, and accuracy. Such capabilities include vision, speech recognition, natural language processing (NLP), learning, planning, and strategy. They are made possible by the availability of large amounts of data, growing computing power, and improved learning algorithms.

Chapter 3. Product-Market Validation for AI-First SaaS
Abstract
Successful AI startups need to understand the nature of AI technology and how it is bought and used. AI is an enabling technology – a set of tools and technologies that can be applied to solve numerous use cases. Therefore, AI will enable many use cases for enterprises – AI can solve substantial inefficiencies in the corporates and even create a whole new business. Netflix, Amazon, and Uber are examples of companies where AI enables business models.

Chapter 5. AI Product Strategy
Abstract
In the previous chapters, we learned how to validate AI products for B2B and B2D markets. After we validate the market, the next step is to build a sound product strategy essential to the overall process. The product strategy guides decisions regarding the vision and mission of the product, the outcome expected for the customers, the stakeholders involved in their development and marketing efforts, and other crucial aspects necessary for success, like desired feature sets.

Chapter 6. Human-Centered AI Experience Design
Abstract
In the previous chapter, we learned how to create an AI product roadmap. This is a tool that product managers and engineers use to plan the features and functionality of AI-based products based on user needs and demands. The roadmap helps ensure that the products align with the company's strategy and vision. It can also be used to communicate with stakeholders about the planned features and their impact on the business.

Chapter 7. Human-Centered AI Developer Experience Design
Abstract
In the previous chapter, we learned how to build a human-centered AI experience design oriented toward the end user. In this chapter, we will learn how to design AI developer experience (DX), a methodology aimed at making the development process of AI-powered applications more straightforward and intuitive for developers. By focusing on the needs and preferences of developers, this approach can help streamline the creation of AI-based products and services. In addition, by providing a framework for incorporating AI into applications, AI developer experience design can help reduce the risk of errors and glitches during development. In building a developer experience for AI products, design thinking is essential to create an intuitive and user-friendly experience that contributes to the AI product's robustness and trustworthiness. By empathizing with the needs and preferences of developers and using design thinking methodologies to guide the development process, teams can create an experience tailored to their target audience's needs. This allows for a more efficient and effective development process and an end product more likely to succeed. In this chapter, we will explore the role of design thinking in creating a successful developer experience for AI products and provide two case studies that illustrate its application in practice.

Chapter 8. Building an AI Platform
Abstract
As an AI startup, it is essential to have a clear strategy for designing, developing, and operating an AI platform that can meet market demands. In the previous chapters, we learned about validating AI products from various perspectives. This chapter will explore the details of building a successful AI platform that involves designing, developing, and operating the AI system. Building an AI platform is a complex process that requires careful consideration of many factors. We will explore the importance of the three pillars of AI platform design: system design, process design, and team design. We will provide a comprehensive framework that unifies these pillars into a single approach to building an effective AI platform. Measuring the maturity of an AI platform is also an essential aspect of the building process. We will discuss how to assess the platform at different stages, from initial development to optimized operation. This chapter will also discuss the challenges and best practices of building an AI platform. We will explore common issues and provide practical solutions to ensure success. To illustrate how the framework and best practices discussed in this chapter can be applied in practice, we will provide a case study of designing, developing, and operating an eKYC AI as a Service platform. This case study will provide real-world examples of the key considerations and decisions in building an effective AI platform. By the end of this chapter, you will have a comprehensive understanding of what it takes to build a successful AI platform and the steps involved in designing, developing, and operating such a system.

Abstract
The previous chapters explored the essential steps in validating, developing, and operationalizing an AI product. This chapter will delve into the crucial topic of the go-to-market (GTM) strategy for an AI startup. Similar to any other product, launching an AI product requires a well-defined strategy to make it a successful and sustainable business. We will discuss the significance of the GTM strategy for businesses and the unique challenges that AI startups face while devising their GTM strategy.

Chapter 10. AI Startup Exit Strategy
Abstract
As discussed in the previous chapters, building a successful AI startup is no easy feat. It requires a deep understanding of complex technology, its operationalization, a sound business model, and the ability to navigate complex market dynamics. But once a startup has gained traction and is on the path to success, the founders need to start thinking about their exit strategy.
