I love this concept.
✨ A 'vertical slice' is crucial for agile & impactful product development. This is for teams that need to deliver early & often, but with a focus on completeness in a narrow scope.
✨ It allows teams to integrate all layers of the application stack, from the UI to backend, in a single, coherent experience. It’s a holistic view, ensuring each slice is not just functional, but also experientially complete.
✨ This is NOT an MVP - MVPs are the bare minimum functionality to test your hypotheses, market viability and so on. A vertical slice is about delivering a *fully-realized* experience in a specific aspect of the product, it's about bringing it to life in all its complexity and richness, even if on a smaller scale.

⇢ Intuitive UI: At the top layer, the user interface in Generative AI is not just about polish, it's about clarity, intuition, and interaction - whether you're interacting directly with a standalone tool or using a plugin the goal here is for the input to be as effective as possible.
⇢ AI: This is where the magic of the algos / data processing happens. The area where models are trained, fine-tuned & deployed to make predictions (or just create content).
⇢ User Privacy / Data Integrity: Ensuring data is not only compliant with data protection regulations but also built with the ethical implications of AI in mind.
⇢ Data!: In (Generative) AI, this isn’t just storage, it’s a dynamic repository where data is continually analyzed, updated, & enriched to inform & improve the AI models.
