- Product discovery expert Teresa Torres published "AI Evals: A Hands-On Guide for Product Teams," arguing evals have been the "it" skill for product teams for over a year but most writing targets engineers.
- The guide explains evals as methods for measuring whether an AI product or workflow performs as expected, positioning them as a discovery habit akin to interviewing and assumption testing.
- Use cases include verifying AI-generated PRDs, detecting fabricated customer quotes, and monitoring whether data analysis stays on track. ML engineer Hamel Husain endorsed it as a powerful merge of product discovery and evals.
