Real ROI from LLMs: A Practical Guide to Building Successful AI Applications in Production

LLM RoI

The landscape of artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving, and Large Language Models (LLMs) are at the forefront of this transformation. What started as experimental projects are now delivering tangible returns on investment (ROI) for enterprises. This article delves into the strategies and lessons learned from companies that have successfully implemented LLMs in production, turning AI hype into real-world value.
According to Raza Habib, CEO and Cofounder of Humanloop, companies are now generating real revenue and cost savings from LLMs, marking a significant shift from the “promised land” of future potential. A prime example is Filevine, a legal tech company that doubled its revenue by launching six new AI-powered products in just one year.

This article is designed for business leaders, AI engineers, and product managers who are looking to understand how to effectively implement LLMs in their organizations. We will explore the fundamental building blocks of LLM applications, the essential team composition for success, robust evaluation frameworks, and the tooling and infrastructure required to achieve real ROI.

The weakest link in the customer value chain in the software development industry can vary depending on the specific circumstances of the organization and project, but common weak points include:

Requirements Gathering and Analysis: Miscommunication or lack of clarity during this phase can lead to misunderstood or incomplete requirements, resulting in software that does not meet the customer’s needs.

Stakeholder Communication: Ineffective communication between developers, project managers, and stakeholders can lead to misaligned expectations and project goals.

Quality Assurance and Testing: Inadequate testing can result in software bugs and issues that affect the user experience and functionality, leading to customer dissatisfaction.

Change Management: Poor management of changes in requirements or scope can disrupt the development process, leading to delays, increased costs, and reduced quality.

Deployment and Maintenance: Issues in deploying the software and providing ongoing support and maintenance can negatively impact the customer experience and the long-term success of the software.

Focusing on improving these areas can help strengthen the overall customer value chain in the software development industry.
