PoC and MVP Development: AI Ideas Validated

Q: What's the difference between PoC and MVP?

A Proof of Concept (PoC) is a small-scale experimental prototype that validates the technical feasibility of an AI idea, typically focusing on core functionality without full product features. An MVP (Minimum Viable Product) is a more developed version with basic but functional features designed to test market viability and gather real user feedback.

Q: How much does MVP development cost?

MVP development costs can range from $10,000 to $100,000 depending on complexity, with simpler AI solutions on the lower end and more advanced generative AI applications requiring more sophisticated development at the higher end. Costs are influenced by technical complexity, required AI models, integration needs, and the development team's expertise.

Q: Can my MVP be scaled into a full product later?

An MVP is strategically designed with scalability in mind, using flexible architectures and modular development approaches that allow expansion into a full-featured product. The initial MVP is a foundational prototype that can be enhanced with additional features, improved AI models, and more sophisticated functionality based on market insights.

Q: Do I need both PoC and MVP for my project?

Whether you need both PoC and MVP depends on your project's complexity, risk profile, and investment stage. For highly innovative or technically challenging AI concepts, starting with a PoC to validate technical feasibility before investing in an MVP can significantly reduce development risks and optimize resource allocation.

Q: In which cases do I need an MVP development consultant?

You need an MVP development consultant when you have an innovative AI concept but lack technical expertise or want to minimize development risks. Consultants provide strategic guidance, technical assessment, and expert implementation to transform your idea into a market-ready solution.

Q: Is it profitable to create custom MVP software development?

Creating custom MVP software is profitable when it solves a specific market problem more effectively than an existing one, potentially opening new revenue streams or competitive advantages. The focused development approach allows the validation of market demand with minimal initial investment.

Q: What are the features of MVP development for enterprises?

Enterprise MVP development focuses on scalable and secure architectures that integrate seamlessly with existing systems and handle enterprise-level data and performance requirements. Key features include robust API design, advanced security protocols, compliance considerations, and flexibility for future technological adaptations.

Q: What criteria should a provider meet for custom MVP development?

An ideal MVP development provider should demonstrate deep technical expertise in generative AI, a proven track record of successful implementations, transparent communication, agile development methodologies, and the ability to provide end-to-end support from concept validation to potential full-scale product development. They should also offer clear pricing models, flexible engagement options, and a strong understanding of your industry's technological landscape.

Q: Describe the role of PoC in software development.

A PoC is a critical risk mitigation tool in software development to validate technical feasibility, explore potential challenges, and assess the fundamental viability of an innovative concept before significant resource investment. POCs help organizations make informed decisions about whether to proceed with complete product development by creating a small-scale prototype that demonstrates core functionality.

PoC in Generative AI is a quick experiment to validate the concept. The MVP takes it further by building a pilot version – a basic but working version that real users can try, giving feedback on what works and needs fixing before you scale up.

Emotion Tracker

For a banking institute, we implemented an advanced AI-driven system using machine learning and facial recognition to track customer emotions during interactions with bank managers. Cameras analyze real-time emotions (positive, negative, neutral) and conversation flow, providing insights into customer satisfaction and employee performance. This enables the Client to optimize operations, reduce inefficiencies, and cut costs while improving service quality.

Client Identification

The client wanted to provide the highest quality service to its customers. To achieve this, they needed to find the best way to collect information about customer preferences and build an optimal tracking system for customer behavior. To solve this challenge, we built a recommendation and customer behavior tracking system using advanced analytics, Face Recognition, Computer Vision, and AI technologies. This system helped the club staff to build customer loyalty and create a top-notch experience for their customers.
