AI Product Strategy and Implementation Plan for Generative AI Startups

We partnered with Civitta, an international consulting firm, to develop a comprehensive AI product strategy and implementation plan for startups in their Challenger AI Accelerator program. Our focus was on establishing a competitive advantage through strategic AI deployment, helping startups prevent latecomer competition. We also designed a detailed system architecture for generative AI deployment, utilizing leading cloud platforms like AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, and RunPod to ensure scalable, secure, and efficient AI operations.
