Building AI Products in Public
Highlights
- ▸Build-in-public works especially well for AI products because the audience is technically fluent and trusts benchmarks over marketing copy
- ▸Publishing the reasoning behind your product decisions is itself the distribution channel — engineers self-select based on whether your thinking is sound
- ▸Technical transparency (evals, failure modes, model choices) doubles as recruiting and sales — the same blog post serves all three audiences
