An AI feature produces a best guess that's usually right and sometimes confidently wrong. Demos are cherry-picked; production isn't. Almost everything that goes wrong with AI products - the frightening bill, the made-up answer, the model that aced the demo and fell over in the wild - follows from that one shift. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct Pieces: AI Solutions\u003c\/b\u003e takes the jigsaw approach of the first book and rebuilds it for AI. You start with the corner pieces - what AI actually is, deterministic versus probabilistic, why models hallucinate - then work outward to the harder, higher-stakes ones: RAG versus fine-tuning, evals as the new unit test, observability and drift, cost per successful task, agents, audit trails, explainability, and governing AI when the stakes are real. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEvery one of the 113 concepts is a single page, the same seven beats each time: the idea in one line, what it is in plain language, when to use it, where you've already seen it, \u003cb\u003ehow it goes wrong\u003c\/b\u003e, what it connects to, and one small thing to try today. No maths to wade through. Analogy first, jargon second. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe aim isn't to turn you into a machine-learning engineer. It's to make you useful and unbamboozled fast - able to ask the right questions, spot the trap before you fall in it, and know when not to use AI at all. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe companion to Product Pieces.
