• Enable teams to integrate AI features with minimal friction
• Set up standardized patterns for using LLMs, embeddings, agents, and workflows
• Build reusable components for prompt management, evaluation, observability, and safety
• Define best practices for AI usage, cost control, and reliability
• Evangelise AI internally through documentation, examples, and hands-on guidance
• Rapidly prototype AI-powered features and turn them into reusable building blocks
• Own AI tooling from experimentation to production
