Key Insights

It’s about evals, not pipelines - The core issue is lack of systematic evaluation and improvement
Use for preparation, not automation - Best for research and analysis, not final decisions
Build validation into everything - Never trust single AI responses
Start small and build evidence - Focus on low-risk, high-value tasks first
