Product Validation

The Easiest Way to Build an AI Agent Is Also the Fastest Way to Fail

I built two AI agents in three days. They were beautiful. They were useless. The reason? Building was too easy. The 80% of AI agent projects that stall at demo stage aren’t failing because of technology. They’re failing because the cost of building has collapsed, eliminating the forcing function that made product managers validate demand before coding. Speed without discipline is just expensive noise.
