AI Product doesn't get easier by adding people. It gets easier by adding judgment, and then by removing the things that distract from it.
Short definition. AI Product: shipping AI features into consumer apps without breaking the user experience.
What follows is a builder-first take on AI Product: what works in production, what fails in subtle ways, and what's worth the next round of attention.
How Rami works on AI Product
AI Product runs through Rami's work in three layers. First, primary operating experience: Alma is a live AI product with users, subscriptions, and a daily team. Rami leads the surface area where the model meets the user — coaching, food logging, personalization, and the rollout machinery underneath. Second, written perspective: a series of essays at Action Potential that take the work apart in public. Third, advisory and mentorship: through Antler, Mila, and Invest Ottawa, Rami works with other operators on the same questions from outside.
Where this shows up in his writing
Gradual rollout finds issues at small scale. Dogfooding beats testing. Tight feedback loops create urgency.

Once work becomes file-shaped, it starts to behave more like software. It gets version history. Diffs. Authorship. Review. Reverts.
