Agentic Product Standard: A Game Changer or Just Another Buzzword?

There's new talk in AI, the Agentic Product Standard. Created by Alex Duch, this initiative aims to redefine how AI products are built. The big question? Is it all talk or can it deliver real change?

what's the Agentic Product Standard?

At its core, the Agentic Product Standard is about creating AI products that aren't just functional but also user-focused. Duch argues that many AI products are too technical, leaving users in the dust. The goal here's to make AI tools that feel intuitive and are easy to use.

The standard pushes for transparency, adaptability, and most importantly, user feedback as a core element in product development. In a world where AI sometimes feels like it’s talking to itself, this could be a refreshing change.

Why Should We Care?

AI is everywhere, but let's face it, not every product feels ready for prime time. We've seen plenty of hype, and plenty of flop. The Agentic Product Standard could make AI products more accessible and less intimidating. But, is it just another framework or can it actually get products shipped that users love?

Well, it sounds promising. But the reality is, AI companies love their buzzwords. I'll believe it when I see retention numbers go up. For now, we need to see if companies will adopt this standard or if it’s just another GitHub relic.

Show Me the Product

If Duch's standard can deliver on its promises, it could mean AI products that finally make sense for everyone, not just developers. That's the dream, but can it be the reality? The tech world is notorious for pushing new ideas without results. Until then, I'll be watching for real-world examples that prove this isn't just vaporware.

In the end, the Agentic Product Standard might just be what AI needs to get out of its own way. Or it might be another flash in the pan. Only time, and product adoption, will tell.
