I'll admit, at first, I was way too nervous to show up. 

Back when I first joined LinkedIn, I did nothing more than lurk.

I didn't know anyone, save for a handful of colleagues in my industry whom I had gotten to know over the years. 

So, when I finally decided to put some effort into LinkedIn, one of the first people to extend a hand of friendship was my next guest, Jeff Young.

If you haven't heard of Jeff, well, I'd be shocked. 

Jeff Young is one of those rare LinkedIn experts who doesn’t just use the platform--he understands it at a level most people never will. 

Known as “𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗜𝗻 𝗚𝘂𝗿𝘂,” Jeff has helped thousands of professionals worldwide transform how they show up, connect, and build real traction on the platform. 

He’s mastered LinkedIn’s hidden features, its evolving algorithm, and the mindset shifts job seekers and leaders need to stand out in a noisy digital world. 

In our conversation, Jeff breaks down his signature “𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗣’𝘀” 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵--  Profile, People, and Participate--which has become a trusted roadmap for anyone looking to elevate their presence. 

He shares 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗶𝗽𝘀 executives can put into play immediately, from untapped profile sections to engagement habits that actually move the needle. 

If you’ve ever wondered how to 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗲𝗱𝗜𝗻 without feeling pushy or performative, Jeff is the guide you want in your corner. This episode is packed with the kind of actionable wisdom that helps leaders get seen, get remembered, and get results.

“Describe a time when...” 
or
“Share an example of a situation where...”

We’ve all heard these types of behavioral approach questions in an interview. 

I'm sure you've been asked one, if not both, of these.

So, what should your answer be?😳

S.T.A.R. 

⭐️ Situation - Task - Action - Results

S- describe the event or Situation

T- talk about the Task, discussing the challenges

A- describe the Actions you took to overcome the problems, focusing on the skills you used without stating them specifically

R- close with the Results of your efforts

Keep your response to three minutes or less, focusing on the traits the job you are applying for demands.

Have questions about how to use the STAR formula? Shoot me a DM. We can help!

🚀 I’m excited to announce my new book:
 The AI Product Builder’s Troubleshooting & Diagnostic Guide

AI is entering a new era—one where reliability, governance, and production excellence matter far more than demos or prototypes. After  working and talking  with AI teams, founders, and enterprise leaders, I noticed a consistent pattern:
AI doesn’t fail because the model is weak.
AI fails because the product around it isn’t ready.

This book captures the diagnostic frameworks, templates, scorecards, heatmaps, playbooks, and troubleshooting patterns I’ve seen transform AI initiatives from unstable pilots into production-grade systems.

Inside, you’ll find:
🔍 The Seven Bridges Framework for the pilot → production gap
 🧩 The AI Value Stack for maturity diagnostics
 📊 Templates for PRDs, Model Cards, HITL workflows, and EvalOps
 🚦 Release Gate flows for safety, quality, reliability, and FinOps
 🔥 Troubleshooting guides for RAG decay, drift, model volatility, and cost spikes
 📈 Heatmaps, scorecards, and governance cycles for ongoing improvement

If you’re an AI PM, AI engineer, AI Solutions architect, or a Product Leader building AI that must work reliably in the real world—this guide is for you.

👉 If you would like a free e-copy of this book, please fill out this form and I will send it you.

Thanksgiving 2025…

For me, it’s not about the food, the shopping, or the holiday itself. It’s about the occasion—and the sentiment of pausing to say thank you.
This Thanksgiving, I’m giving thanks for the people who have touched my life, the places that have shaped me, and the possibilities that make life purposeful.

Thank you to two amazing people I met recently—Polly M Allen and Nico Posner —who filled my heart and soul with joy.

Thank you to the beautiful Bay Area that my wife and I have called home for 2+ decades.

Thank you to SFO, my City of Possibilities, where I discovered—and continue to build—my passion for creating AI products.

Thanks for being part of my life journey and for reminding me, in big and small ways, how rich my life becomes when I experience gratitude and share it.

I had the fabulous opportunity to meet the "Oprah of LinkedIn" - personal branding guru Goldie Chan


Awesome session on personal branding at the Sidebar Spark Summit. 

"Show up without showing off" is an awesome takeaway from the talk by Goldie.

Today I got a small but encouraging milestone achievement! 

People are reading and a small number citing this paper on AIoT Agents published on ResearchGate.

This paper is a contemporary study and literature survey on AIoT agents and formed the pre-cursor for getting to know the state of the union on AIoT agents and a bedrock for my forthcoming book on AIoT Agent Building. 

https://lnkd.in/gNQpV3GS

Sharing a personal spirit lifting milestone from ResearchGate. 

Glad to know that people are reading my published paper. Inspired by my mentor Aman Chadha and by his stellar publishing record and portfolio. 

This path to publishing preprints and getting reads / citations is to get into the groove of original ideation, thinking about problems - solutions, and putting high quality written work. This effort with ResearchGate is a start; I aim to work and uplevel myself to be worthy of acceptance into "prestigious" journals - arXiv, IEEE, ACM etc. It is hard but I am motivated to do whatever it takes to get to that level.

We now have a menu of LLM platforms and frontier models. 

OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Anthropic, Perplexity, xAI, Mistral AI, DeepSeek
and others keep shipping new model releases, each with fresh claims about features and performance.

But a practical question remains: which model should I use for which task, purpose, and outcome? How do we look beyond leaderboards and hype, and relate these models to day-to-day, pragmatic work?

I found comparing frontier LLM platforms like ChatGPT 5.1, Claude 4.5, Grok, Perplexity, and Gemini quite difficult because they are complex products, not just models on a chart. I needed a structured way to map their distinct strengths, risks, and task fit so I could confidently route work to the right tool.

So I adapted Andrej Karpathy’s “LLM Council” idea — a multi-model debate plus chairman synthesis — to systematically evaluate each LLM platform.

The result is a practical view, for each platform, of:
* Strengths
* Watch-outs
* Tasks well suited
* Tasks better routed elsewhere

The adapted LLM Council process:
-> Multiple frontier models independently assess a target platform to avoid early anchoring.
-> They anonymously critique and rank each other’s answers to surface errors and nuances.
-> A “Chairman” model, overseen by a human, synthesizes the debate into a consensus verdict.

The Council’s one-sentence report snapshots:
> ChatGPT 5.1 – A top-tier generalist with adaptive reasoning that excels at explaining concepts, agentic workflows, and acting as a conversational copilot.
> Anthropic Claude 4.5 – The “deep thinker” for complex coding, heavy document analysis, and long-horizon reasoning, especially when paired with Artifacts.
> Perplexity – A web-native “answer engine” built for deep research and fact-finding, rather than long-form creative writing or storytelling.
> Grok – Best for real-time social trend analysis and sentiment tracking, with a spicy tone and direct access to X data.
> Google Gemini – A multimodal powerhouse that integrates with Workspace and uses massive context windows to analyze video, large codebases, and Drive files.

Comment “Council” if you’d like the full breakdown and report.

The attached slide deck captures and summarizes the key findings.

Doing this exercise gave me a much clearer mental model of which LLM platform to use for what, and how to route tasks to the best-fit model for the outcomes I care about.

#AI #GenerativeAI #AIProductManagement #FrontierLLMs #AIEvaluation #AISafety #LLMCouncil #ProductManagement

Evaluating LLM Platforms with the LLM Councils

I am continually fascinated by the recent LLM Council project by Andrej Karpathy. I now consider the LLM Council as both a Gen AI Design Pattern and an application building block. The possibilities for building innovative applications seems to be quite a lot. 

The LLM Council pattern embodies the principle that N models > 1 model when properly orchestrated. Instead of relying on a single AI to answer your question—with all its biases, blind spots, and hallucination risks—what if you assembled a "council" of diverse AI models to debate, critique, and synthesize a superior answer?

Today, as I was working on a PRD, I had the Aha! moment to explore the application of LLM Council Pattern to PRD reviews and rapid iteration and improvement. 

We all know this: the real gaps in a PRD show up after sprint planning – during engineering review, in QA, or (worst) in production.

I came up with an application concept: PRD Review Council – an AI “board of PM advisors” powered by the LLM Council pattern that reviews my PRD before it ever reaches sprint planning.

Here’s the idea 👇
Instead of a single AI doing a generic review, my PRD (generated the classical way or via ChatPRD)  goes to a council of AI personas inspired by product thought leaders – think Jackie Bavaro (clarity & strategy), Melissa Perri (outcomes over output), Dan Olsen (PMF & lean experiments), Janna Bastow (roadmaps & process), Claire Vo Vo (AI-native PM & agents). 
Each one reviews the PRD from their own lens and surfaces issues, questions, and suggestions. 

Then a “chairman” persona inspired by Marty Cagan pulls it all together: synthesising the feedback into one coherent review with: 
* An executive summary of readiness
* Critical gaps that block development
* High-leverage improvements to problem, outcomes, scope and risks
* A short list of concrete next steps for the author PM

Under the hood, PRD Review Council uses an LLM Council-style workflow: multiple models/experts in parallel, cross-review of each other’s feedback, and a final synthesis step that optimises for completeness, coherence, and practical actionability – not just clever comments. 

Why this matters:
* Catch most structural gaps before sprint planning
* Reduce back-and-forth PRD revisions with engineering, design and leadership
* Turn every PRD review into a mini coaching session from multiple “schools of PM”
* Build a repeatable, high-quality PRD review ritual even in lean teams 

I’m exploring this both as a real product idea implemented with Google AI Studio and as a reference app for multi-LLM “council” architectures. 

If you’re a PM or product leader who struggles with PRDs that get shredded late in the process, I’d love your take:

👉 Would you trust (and use) an AI PRD Review Council like this? What would you want it to catch every single time?

Earlier announcement: https://lnkd.in/ga5Qd9vy

💡 What makes this book different
To make this a practical, usable manual for real-world AI teams, I tried several first-of-its-kind approaches:
• Each chapter is exactly one page — sharp, concise, and built for busy AI builders

• TL;DR + Bottom Line — know the “why” and “what to do” instantly

• A unified visual synthesis of the entire book

• Multimodal chapter experiences:
  🎥 ~8-min video explainers
  🎧 Dialog-style audio versions
  📘 Detailed text + visuals
 
Designed to support every learning style.

🛠 Why I wrote this
AI Product Builders don’t need more “how to build a RAG app” tutorials.
We need guidance on:
 ✔ debugging failures
 ✔ diagnosing drift
 ✔ preventing cost explosions
 ✔ hardening AI for real production
 ✔ governing responsibly at scale

A mentor summarized it perfectly:
“This isn’t just a book — it’s an intervention… You’ve addressed the ‘Pilot Purgatory’ problem every VP of AI feels right now.”


📘 What this book aspires to be
A living operational manual that unifies Product + Engineering + AI implementation realities.

A playbook to help teams:
 • cross the pilot-to-production gap
 • debug with clarity
 • apply diagnostic hardening
 • evaluate, govern, and scale with discipline

After launch, I’ll also release templates, guides, Miro boards, and walkthrough videos to make the playbook even more actionable.

This work is dedicated to every AI Product Builder striving to build their “Aha!” product — responsibly, reliably, and at scale.

Just got totally immersed into completed the new live course on AI Product Leadership from Reforge. 

Jiaona Zhang (JZ) and Britt Jamison did an awesome 4 week ramped up experience, with the latest and greatest on AI and its implications on Product Leadership and how to leverage and navigate the inevitable integration of AI into product work. 

In addition to weekly sessions and offline course material, there were valuable office hours with Britt Jamison which gave me the opportunity to discuss AI related topics with an OpenAI executive. Thank you Brit for being patient with me, as I almost always put my hand first in the sessions and giving detailed insightful answers. 

In addition there were product leader sessions with Anthony from Airtable (Competitive Intelligence), Jen from Go Nimbly (GTM) and Emercan from Glean. The session with Emercan / Glean was particularly interesting since I saw live demo of multi-agent applications in action. 

An interesting discussion during office hours was about the outcome based success metrics for AI agents.  Going beyond the techno-functional thinking of evaluations, precision, recall etc but to thinking about the actual impact - "Did the AI Agent’s actions produce valuable, measurable results aligned with business or user goals?”

Outcome based evaluation of AI agents - "“Did the agent make the system better, the user happier, and the business healthier — all within safe bounds?” becomes the key question. 

While the course discussed OKR's being apt for AI agents, I felt that Narrative -Committments-Tasks (NCT's) from Ravi Mehta is also very apt and appropriate in this context. 

We discussed this during Office Hours. 

Coming out of that we felt that a hybrid OKR-NCT model is perhaps even more suited for measuring AI agent outcomes. 

This OKR–NCT fusion becomes a hierarchical feedback system:
* OKRs → define what success means for the system
* NCTs → define how each agent interprets, commits, and acts toward it

AI Agents don’t just execute commands — they reason, adapt, and collaborate.  Their success must therefore be measured both in terms of outcomes achieved and how intelligently and ethically those outcomes were reached.

That’s where the Hybrid OKR–NCT Model comes in — a fusion of macro-outcome measurement and micro-behavioral accountability.

The OKR–NCT hybrid establishes a continuous performance loop:
* OKRs define what impact to deliver
* NCTs ensure how that impact is responsibly and intelligently achieved
* Telemetry links them together into measurable, adaptive feedback

AI Agent Success = Measurable Outcomes × Responsible Execution
* OKRs bring structure to what matters.
 * NCTs bring consciousness to how it’s done.
 
Together, they can lead up and roll up into the North Star metric for the org / company towards the well understood barometer of success. 

What are your thoughts on this?

I am thrilled to announce a collaboration with my friend Sevanne Calle on upleveling ourselves in Physical AI!

We’re entering a moment where AI is no longer staying in the digital world.
It’s stepping into the real world — into devices that sense the environment, robots that move with purpose, machines that can help us in hospitals, farms, factories, and even in our homes. This shift can change industries, careers, and lives.

But right now, most people only understand “software AI”: LLMs, chatbots, copilots.

Physical AI is the next wave — and most people are not prepared for it.

Over the past months, I’ve become convinced that Physical AI — AI embedded in robots, machines, vehicles, and devices that can sense, decide, and act in the real world — will define the next decade of innovation. From logistics and manufacturing to healthcare, energy, agriculture, and smart cities, we’re already seeing early signs: autonomous robots, intelligent fleets, warehouse automation, hospital logistics, and more.

I want to prepare myself now for that shift — to think deeply about:
* How we design Physical AI systems that are helpful rather than harmful
* How we blend AI, robotics, AIoT, and edge infrastructure responsibly
* How Product, Engineering, Operations, and Policy need to work together to make Physical AI safe, reliable, and truly human-centered

👉 So please join us in the journey of this exciting new world of possibilities and potential from Physical AI.

What happens when AI’s hunger for power, water, and land collides with the limits of our planet – and the patience of our communities?

We’re already seeing the early signs: grid constraints, water stress, local moratoriums on new data centers, and growing scrutiny from regulators and citizens. 
At the same time, we’re racing to build an AI++ world – where AI is deeply intertwined with IoT, edge, robotics, and cyber-physical systems.

To make that future possible, we don’t just need more  power or more AI infrastructure.

We need to have a clear vision for the Future of Data Centers, And We need Resource-Responsible AI so that we invest and build in that AI infrastructure rationally. 

I’ve pulled together my research, thoughts, and field notes into a publication: 
📘 “The Future of AI Data Centers – Creating Resource-Responsible AI for an AI++ World”

Links to the booklet and slide deck in the comments. 

In this publication I explore:
* How AI data centers differ fundamentally from traditional cloud infrastructure
* Why power, water, and cooling are becoming design constraints – not afterthoughts
* A set of principles and scorecards for building Resource-Responsible AI across the model lifecycle
* Patterns for AI-native architectures spanning edge, micro data centers, and hyperscale
* The role of regulation, risk, and “social license to operate”
* Future scenarios and a practical roadmap for teams who want to act, not just admire the problem

If this topic resonates with you – whether you’re in AI/ML, cloud, data centers, sustainability, or policy – drop a comment or DM  🙌

Today I want to introduce a key concept in the book - Seven Bridges. 
I am so much fascinated by the term. 
Seven Bridges of Konigsberg is a classical mathematics / computer science problem. 
Seven Bridges Road is a beautiful song by The Eagles. 

In AI Product Building, The Seven Bridges diagram maps the chasm and the critical transition gaps between pilot success and production scale. It connotes the difference whether an AI project is destined to Pilot purgatory or whether it makes it a successful Production GTM. It is a diagnostic model identifying the precise failure points where AI projects fracture during scale-up. Each bridge—Data Readiness, Model Robustness, Infrastructure Scalability, Operational Maturity, Governance Readiness, Organizational Alignment, and Business Value—represents a critical handoff where assumptions break, ownership blurs, and risk compounds. Looking at an AI Project from the Seven Bridges lens can help cross the chasm to a successful AI project. 

For this book, my content creation approach has been: 
- Generate a text document with concepts, principles, visual artifacts, practices etc. 
- For each chapter, I have created a companion video explainer to amplify and explain the contents in 8 mins or less
- And an audio overview with two hosts discussing and debating the insights and nuances. 

In short, a multimodal approach to convey what I want to share. 

As an example, here is the content for Chapter 1:

Audio overview: https://lnkd.in/gYXEt-j5 

I hope you like to content creation approach and formats. Let me know in comments.

Thrilled to share that my new research paper is now available on ResearchGate: “Agentic Swarm Intelligence Applied to AIoT Agent Coordination: A Domain-Agnostic Framework for Multi-Agent Coordination, Task Allocation, and Human-AIoT Workflow Delineation.”

This work brings together Swarm Intelligence, multi-agent systems, and AIoT to answer a key question: 
How do we coordinate AIoT agents while keeping humans safely and meaningfully in the loop? 

The paper introduces the AIoT Swarm Coordination Map (ASCM), an extended RACI-A responsibility model, and a Human–AIoT Workflow Canvas that practitioners can apply across manufacturing, energy, smart cities, logistics, and more.

If you’re interested in and exploring Multi-agent systems, AIoT, edge intelligence, or Human-AI teaming, I’d really value your read, critique, and suggestions for future directions.

Going From Vibe Synthetic Multimodal Data Creator to a Vibe  Synthetic Reality Creator! 

Today I got access to https://lnkd.in/gQvPJ5Kz World Labs
World Labs (the startup founded by Dr Fe-Fei Li https://lnkd.in/gMiebVzw Fei-Fei Li
Marble 3D World creation platform. And I am blown away by the possibilities. 

If I can think / imagine a scenario, I can now create  Synthetic Reality Worlds. The possibilities for AI Products with Visual Intelligence, Robotics training, and simulation-first design feel enormous.

With Marble + Veo3, it’s becoming possible to go beyond  synthetic multimodal images and videos… and instead construct entire 3D, physics-aware simulation reality worlds. 

This has so much potential for AIoT systems, robotics, and digital twins.

This is a game changer. This has so much value for my work. 

Imagine designing scenarios that are hard, dangerous, or impossible to capture in the real world:
 🔥 fire and explosion events
 🪖 battlefield and high-risk environments
 🤖 humanoid robot training scenes
 🏥 hospital digital twins
 🌆 smart-city anomaly simulations

Instead of creating the data, we create the reality with the data! 

My first experiment was to use WorldLabs Marble to generate a 3D panorama of a battlefield scenario as it would appear for an autonomous drone as it surveys the battlefield scene for sitrep and damage assessment. I then used to panorama snapshots to create a realistic battlefield scenario video. 

Early results are promising. See the generated video attached and the panorma screenshots in the comments. 

If you’re building in digital twins, simulation, robotics, or AIoT, keep an eye on this space.

Synthetic Reality is coming fast.

A TGIF moment! Thankful to meeting and collaborating with awesome people like Ronny Ashar .

It is an awesome feeling for me when you can have meaningful connects even though we are thousands of miles apart and we can find something that we are both passionate about. 

Ronny and I have had deep and thoughtful discussions about Sustainable AI recently. Which led me to the formulation of the concept of Resource Responsible AI. 

I am really proud of Ronny for getting the AI Ethics practioner certification from Stanford. Looking forward to continuing this awesomeness in 2026.

Evals is now past the buzz word stage. Many AI leaders and organizations realize the value and importance of Evals and what does it means for AI agent applications. 

AI practioners and thought leaders like Hamel Husain, Shreya Shankar, Aman Khan have taught this to thousands of students like myself. 

I have learnt a lot additionally on Evals from Claire Longo and Paweł Huryn from a practical and pragmatic perspective. 

When I was talking to a fellow cohort student from Hamel and Shreya's course, the discussion came down to the crunch "How do make Evals working with our AI application development given our Product and Engineering setup?"

It was a Rubber meets Road moment. And the person I was talking with had read my article on Evaluation Driven development [https://lnkd.in/g7zX5J2h]
and came up with the brilliant idea of why have DevOps like thing for Evals? 
A quick search for EvalOps revealed that there is such a thing - but details are sparse. 
Anyways we spent a few hours and put together some topic focus points and worked together to shape up this article [https://lnkd.in/g6Gaa_aJ] which I published just a little while ago. 

So you ask what is EvalOps + Evaluation Driven Development for AI Agents -? What is special about it and why is it needed etc etc? 

View the attached video explainer for more insights. 
Or can you read the LinkedIn article. Or Both. 

The point is that we feel that there is a convincing case to be made for EvalOps + EDD.  I would love to get your thoughts when you had the chance to see our viewpoint.
