The AI engineer mindset

Learning goals

Adopt the working habits of an AI engineer: define the job, constrain the model, and measure the output.

Mindset

• Start from a business outcome, not from a model name.
• Treat prompts, tools, and evaluation as one system.
• Prefer a small reliable workflow over a flashy demo.

Exercise

Write a one-page brief for an internal AI assistant: user, task, data it may use, and what it must never do.
