In this segment, the speaker—drawing on experience at Alexa and Microsoft—critiques the common industry focus on building Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) and Proofs of Concept (POCs). She argues that AI solutions architects should go beyond mere viability and instead design products that are remarkable and delightful for customers. While some advocate for a Minimum Lovable Product (MLP), she frames her approach as a Minimum Remarkable Product (MRP), emphasizing the need to consider the user experience and what makes a product stand out, rather than just proving a concept works.

But the next principle is around this concept of building. So once you decide you're going to build something, here is something that I learned again in Alexa, but also at Microsoft during my time there, was there is a lot of talk these days about building MVPs, minimum viable products. That's— I hear it all the time. I go into organizations, they're like, build an MVP. We're building MVPs. POCs is another word. Proof of concept. Here's what I'm going to encourage you to do differently. What differentiates us from being just a typical solution architect to an AI solutions architect is that we don't just build for viability. We take the time to think about our clients and our customers, and we think, what, what would be remarkable? What would be delightful? What does a delightful experience look like? So I've heard some say, um, change MVP to MLP, or minimum lovable product. But the way I characterized it back in the day was building a minimum remarkable product.
