The role of AI in product development

Key learnings
- Ring-fence a dedicated R&D team for long-horizon, uncertain bets, reserving roughly 5-10% of capacity for audacious experiments…
- Hand off research prototypes only after customer signal exists, and move researchers back to R&D based on a trained replacement…
- Let the team that owns the product day to day control its own roadmap; don't outsource innovation entirely to an R&D group.
