• Own model and vendor selection — benchmark LLMs, embedding models and agent frameworks on quality, cost and latency
• Set the patterns for retrieval-grounded and agentic systems — grounding, vector search, orchestration, memory and evaluation — with security, cost and latency budgets designed in
• Design integration and AI Ops — MCP and tool‑calling interfaces, SaaS‑embedded AI (Copilot, Agentforce, Joule), CI/CD, versioning, evaluation gates and monitoring
