About Building interfaces people can talk to, and deciding which part makes each call

Background

I studied Information Systems and now run Roboticscool in Doha. Most of my work sits where software meets something physical: a robot, a voice, a classroom. I'm most interested in forward deployed engineering, where you learn how a team works and then build software around the process they already have.

How I decide what to build

• Why would someone use this?

  I compare the idea with the simplest existing option before I build more of it.

  

• What should the AI do?

  I keep facts and important decisions with the right tool or person. The model asks; the program checks.

  

• What happens outside the demo?

  Deployment, cost, privacy, failure, and who has to operate it.

  

• Is this feature helping?

  If something is slow or confusing and does not improve the main task, I remove it.
