AI makes prototyping easier, but shipping something useful still takes a team. Lessons from our tech team’s PredictPay journey:
- Give ideas a path to production
- Bring every discipline in early
- Make progress testable
- Improve the model and system together
AI makes building easier. Turning an idea into a production system and improving it still takes a strong team working closely together.
PredictPay, our in-house payment risk model, went from “would be cool if it works” to “it works, and it works really well” through demos, thoughtful scoping, AI & ML explainability, production experiments, and many iterations. We’re sharing the full zero-to-v2 journey in the hope that it inspires more people to bring forward an idea and find great people to build it with.
Proud to share the journey with Kyle Gahagan, Skylar Gao, Ross Briden, Patrick Holloran, Fabio Sammarco and everyone across Engineering, Analytics, and Product @affirm who made it possible!
