Why this topic matters

We celebrate user-facing AI product and feature launches with fanfare, but they don't always land well. Factors distinguishing AI products from others include the degree of 'cold start', the stochasticity of AI outputs, and the criticality of feedback-driven development. Therefore, launch is just the start; we need to quickly and carefully design and execute steps to ensure successful landing.
