Developing an Artificial Intelligence (AI) application is fundamentally different from traditional software development. It’s a journey centered around data, algorithms, and continuous iteration. The core of an AI app is a model that learns from data to make predictions or decisions, rather than following static rules.
To successfully build an AI application, follow this comprehensive, step-by-step roadmap.
Step 1: Define the Problem and Goal (The ‘Why’)
Every successful AI project starts with a clear, measurable objective. Don’t start with the technology; start with the problem you need to solve.
- Identify the Use Case: What specific human task or business challenge will the AI address? (e.g., Automate customer support ticket routing, Predict customer churn, or Classify objects in medical images).
- Determine AI Suitability: Is the problem best solved by prediction, classification, or automation? Ensure you have access to the necessary data for the task.
- Define
