Deployed: The AI Product Podcast
Deployed is the podcast for people building AI products.
With all the hype about AI over the past two years, it’s often been hard to discern what’s actually working. We started Deployed to share the real-world stories of the leaders, engineers, product & design teams, and data teams who are building and running great generative AI products for their customers.
In each episode we’ll dig into the journey to create these products, the impact they’re making for customers and the bottom line, and what it takes to make generative AI products successful. Our hope is to add a bit of signal in all the noise, and help you stay ahead of the curve when it comes to strategies and tactics that actually work in production.
We’d love to hear from you, please reach out to us at [email protected].
You can also learn more about what we’re building at Freeplay here: freeplay.ai
