Good summary from our founder @cairns of how Freeplay speeds up AI engineering for production teams. 👇
The best AI teams aren’t just engineering-led anymore. @Freeplay_ai helps domain experts take over evals + QA, cutting cycles from weeks to hours. By putting domain experts in the loop, teams are shortening eval cycles and shipping higher-quality AI features, faster. Full…
This is good company to be in. 🙌 If you haven't listened yet, we interview leaders on Deployed who are building AI products at scale and they share their lessons learned. Next guest will be from Google Labs! Check it out. open.spotify.com/show/6nZS3a7iY…
I'm enjoying podcasts these days during morning runs. Mostly around Tech+Startups+AI. My favorites: - The Pragmatic Engineer by @GergelyOrosz - Deployed by @freeplay_ai - How I AI by @clairevo - Lenny's podcast by @lennysan - The Startup Ideas @gregisenberg Suggestions?
Everyone I know who's taking this course speaks highly of it.
we’re teaching a course for engineers and technical PMs on evals for AI products! why? despite all the tooling out there, there’s very little *education* on how to build evals—like, what’s the actual process from vague idea to deployed product? how do you know if your system is…
Highly useful talk for anyone running production AI products! This was a crowded room at @aiDotEngineer Chris Hernandez from Chime and Jeremy Silva from Freeplay share a practical Ops process to continuously improve AI products in production. youtube.com/watch?v=1__V4K…
Congrats to our friends @brightwaveio on their launch! It's an incredible deep research product, purpose-built for investors. Check it out.
Brightwave is the future of investment research, and today we're pleased to announce the most powerful AI research platform is free to try for 14 days. From deep research reports that synthesize across hundreds of documents to interactive grids that extract structured data at…
Building voice agents or AI image analysis tools? There's a better approach than "vibes-based testing" 🎯 @freeplay_ai help speed up your iteration loop with multimodal evals, observability and experimentation. The video shows how. Here are the key tactics that actually help:…
This is the work. Every team we work with who finds success with AI products does some version of this.👇
If I could only give people one tool for LLM Evals, it would be error analysis. Nothing else comes close This is what Look At Your Data ™️ means Links in reply
