What is an AI-first proof of concept (PoC)?
With the rapid advancement of Generative AI, an AI Proof of Concept focuses on developing a coded, functional prototype to validate AI's role in your solution. Its goal is to demonstrate the viability and functionality of your product vision while leveraging the latest AI advancements.
How We Approach an AI-First PoC
A PoC provides fast, data-driven validation before full-scale development. Instead of waiting months for an MVP launch, you gain actionable insights from a working prototype in days.
- Assess AI's Value – Identify where AI can enhance your development process
- Rapid Prototyping – Build and test AI-powered features and workflows quickly
- Define a Scalable Strategy – Establish an AI-enhanced development approach for long-term success

Featured case studies
Clients who started with a proof of concept
Our process and deliverables
We kick things off with an alignment workshop where we bring our teams together to talk about your goals, assumptions, culture, and where you want to go. Before ending the workshop we determine the best final deliverable to align your team.
What's Included:
Prioritized PoC roadmap
Considering the market problem, product vision and your organization's next steps, we'll work with you to set a prioritized roadmap that will guide the proof of concept phase.
Concept prototype
A simple prototype built based on agreed upon requirements and priorities. Product walk-through videos may be produced to consistently display your proof of concept.
User validation results
We help you interview and schedule users, compile insights and provide validation results to prove the concept and align your team.
Deliverables may include:
- PoC feature prioritization roadmap
- UX Designs
- Functional prototype (coded) or clickable prototype (designed)
- User validation testing
* The deliverables of each proof of concept will vary based on the needs of each client PoC.
