Building AI tools in a year that felt like ten: Technical learnings from DevExplorer
As AI capabilities evolved at breakneck speed, the DevExplorer team rebuilt their tool three times in a single year. This blog reflects on the technical and organisational lessons learned from building an LLM-powered product for international development in a rapidly shifting AI landscape.
Making space to play with AI
Despite growing confidence in AI, there’s more appetite than ever to experiment with and learn about it in safe, low-risk ways. Here are three ways we've been intentionally creating space to play with AI.
On the Frontier of Biodiversity Data
Each month we take one global critical challenge and explore what’s happening on the frontier of innovation. This month we're On the Frontier of Biodiversity Data.
On the Frontier of Health Chatbots
Each month we take one global critical challenge and explore what’s happening on the frontier of innovation. This month we're On the Frontier of Health Chatbots.
