But transforming those demos into reliable, scalable, and cost-effective systems is where the real challenge begins. What works perfectly in a controlled setup often struggles in the real world — from handling scale and token costs to maintaining data quality, observability, and trust.\nThis episode explores the mindset shift teams need to make: moving from impressive AI experiments to production-ready systems that create measurable business impact.\nKey topics covered in this episode:\n The hidden complexity behind “plug-and-play” AI \n Token consumption and its impact on cost & ROI \n Why prototypes fail at production scale \n Security, compliance, and reliability challenges \n Task decomposition and spec-driven AI development \n The importance of observability, monitoring, and evaluation \n Why human-in-the-loop systems still matter \n Building AI systems that users can actually trust \nIf you’re building AI products or planning to scale AI inside your organization, this conversation will make you rethink one critical question:\nAre you building fast, or are you building something that actually works in the real world?\nConnect with Manav:\nLinkedIn – Manav Goel\nConnect with Prem:\nLinkedIn – Prem Goswami","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/9ucptEYd5kVPtNA_zR1pGGq70YIZjxQEgWQXPqsHHDg/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yNGQz/ZmI1YWRiYWMxMTM3/YmQyNDA4YTQ2ZTY4/N2RjNi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
