@bengoertzel - you need to come to the show. Where are you?

. @lufthansa You boarded passengers by bus and then kept them trapped inside a crowded bus for 45 minutes. Older passengers struggled, doors had to be opened for air, and the engine noise was so loud people covered their ears. Poorly managed and unacceptable. Lh492

The 'dirty secret' of RAG? It's all about data selection. How many pieces of data do you grab, and how big are they? Like summarizing Harry Potter with 10 pages vs. 1000. #RAG #LLMs #AI

AI models struggle with 'optimal stopping.' Like an eye doctor refining vision, they iterate but don't know when to quit. Ask ChatGPT to improve an email, and it *always* tries, never saying 'good enough. #AI #Tech #Innovation

AI agents are the future of users. Brands need to adapt to this new reality where AI browses, selects, and buys, reshaping the customer journey. Are you ready for the AI customer? #AI #CustomerExperience #FutureOfCommerce

How to order coffee in 2026? Via AI agents. Use a plug in. Describe your taste. ENJOY... Webpages are soooo 2000. #AIAgents #CoffeeTech #FutureOfOrdering

AI product success isn't about isolated metrics like quality or latency. The true North Star is workflow success and value creation. It's about defining what success looks like for a specific task and working within hard constraints. #AI #ProductManagement

[Lutz Finger @LutzFinger]

Product managers build AI agents by starting simple: prompt design for fast iteration. If knowledge is missing, add RAG. For stable tasks needing consistency, use LoRA. Focus on outcomes before adding complexity. #AI #MLOps #PromptEngineering #RAG

Choosing the right model isn't about 'best,' it's about 'best outcome' for your task. Smaller models are cheaper & faster for repetitive tasks, while larger ones excel at complex reasoning & high-stakes decisions. Always match the model to the job. #AI #MachineLearning

[Lutz Finger @LutzFinger]

Becoming an AI PM means: workflow completion, user trust, and robust guardrails. Success is measured by evals, not just user satisfaction, demanding constant monitoring of latency, quality, and cost to truly deliver value. #AIPM #ProductManagement

How does the AI transition look like? Meta launches a new AI model. Meta cuts 8,000 jobs. - Same day... the shift is underway.

Diane gave me just such a nice review :) yay - https://t.co/pi8A0JNZWy

[Lutz Finger @LutzFinger]

Are you losing your mind too? One AI agent is running, so you jump to the next. Then the next. Constant context switching. Constant half-finished threads.
Stop managing agents. Start managing AI outcomes!

[Lutz Finger @LutzFinger]

Winners operationalize AI: they use it to accelerate workflows and decision speed while keeping judgment human. Laggards outsource judgment: they let AI replace thinking and craft.

[Lutz Finger @LutzFinger]

Executives: Stop asking how your brand ranks in AI. The real question is: Why should AI trust your content and brand over others? Are you the definitive answer to your customer's questions? #AI #MarketingStrategy

[Lutz Finger @LutzFinger]

Marketing is evolving with agent-to-agent communication (A2A). Agentic workflows are key to navigating the new GEO shift. Join our workshop: https://t.co/U1rNijIfDH #Marketing #AI #Automation #A2A #GEO

To help AI understand your brand and recommend it, clearly list your products, services, and customer pain points. Explicit language in trusted places is key for AI to understand your brand. @CornellMBA @trymeridian @alexmdees #GEO #BrandBuilding #AIStrategy

[Lutz Finger @LutzFinger]

Your customers’ questions are a goldmine.
Build content around them. Build community around them.
Specific. Authentic. Question-focused. That is how brands win #AI #citations.

#GEO is not about pages. It is about #trusted answers.
Reddit leads citations today. LinkedIn may be the smarter long-term bet: more trust, more identity, less bot sludge. @CornellMBA @trymeridian @alexmdees#SocialMedia #AI #SEO

[Lutz Finger @LutzFinger]

SEO was about being found by people. GEO is about being understood by machines and trusted enough to be recommended.
If AI cannot understand your brand, your customer may never see it.
