What you'll learn
Apply a build-vs-buy framework per feature
A clear-eyed call for each AI feature instead of habit-driven building.
The hidden costs of building in-house that get missed
The maintenance, eval, and drift costs in-house builds always miss.
When buying is clearly the better call, and when it isn't
The situations where a vendor wins, and where building makes sense.
Why this topic matters
Teams default to building AI features in-house out of habit, even when buying would ship faster and cost less. This session gives you a clear-eyed framework for making that call correctly, feature by feature.
