The promise of Generative AI (GenAI) is immense. From transforming customer service with intelligent chatbots to automating complex data analysis, its potential seems limitless. Yet, many organizations struggle to move from promising proofs-of-concept (PoCs) to real-world, production-ready applications.
So why do so many GenAI projects stall — and what can be done to bridge this gap? At HERE AND NOW AI, we go beyond teaching the fundamentals of AI. Our mission is to prepare the next generation of AI professionals who can deploy, scale, and succeed with AI in real-world environments.
This post explores the common roadblocks that prevent GenAI projects from reaching production and how our innovative AI education programs are designed to overcome them.
The Production Paradox: Why GenAI PoCs Often Fail
The buzz around GenAI often pushes teams into rapid prototyping. They build impressive PoCs using Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) frameworks. But when the time comes to scale and deploy, roadblocks appear.
Here are the biggest reasons why GenAI projects fail to move beyond PoCs:
- Lack of Monitoring and Evaluation: Without proper monitoring, it’s impossible to track performance, catch errors, or measure how the AI behaves in real-world environments. This includes spotting issues like prompt injection attacks, unexpected outputs, or performance degradation.
- Data Quality and Bias: GenAI models are only as good as their data. Poor quality data or bias in training sets often leads to unreliable, or worse, harmful results.
- Scalability Issues: PoCs are small-scale. Scaling them to production often reveals bottlenecks, resource shortages, and unexpected system failures.
- Security Vulnerabilities: Without strong security, GenAI applications are prone to data leaks, unauthorized access, and other threats.
- Model Drift: Over time, models lose accuracy as real-world data changes. Without retraining and continuous monitoring, GenAI models can quickly become outdated.
Observability: The Key to GenAI Production Readiness
The real solution to these challenges lies in observability — having deep, continuous insight into how your GenAI system is performing. Observability goes beyond monitoring by giving you the tools to understand why your system behaves the way it does.
Key elements of observability include:
- Logging: Recording every interaction — prompts, responses, and system events.
- Monitoring: Tracking KPIs like accuracy, latency, and error rates.
- Tracing: Following the flow of data requests through the system to find bottlenecks.
- Alerting: Notifying teams of major issues like security breaches or degraded performance.
- Evaluation: Continuously benchmarking the model’s output against predefined metrics.
This discipline ensures AI models are not just deployed, but maintained and improved in production.
How HERE AND NOW AI Equips You for GenAI Success
At HERE AND NOW AI, our programs are designed to prepare students for real-world GenAI deployment. We don’t just focus on theory — we emphasize hands-on projects, observability practices, and career readiness.
Here’s how we bridge the gap between learning AI and deploying AI:
- Hands-on, Project-Based Learning
In our Full-Stack AI Developer Program, students build AI applications from the ground up. From prototyping to deployment, they learn how to integrate observability, monitoring, and evaluation into every stage of development. - Core Skills in Python and API Development
Students gain mastery in Python and API frameworks like Flask and FastAPI, which are critical for deploying scalable AI systems. - LLM Integration and RAG Expertise
Our curriculum covers working with advanced LLMs like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude, while also training students in RAG frameworks and vector databases for accuracy and relevance in AI apps. - Cloud Deployment & Observability Best Practices
We teach cloud deployment (GCP, Vercel) with CI/CD integration, while emphasizing observability — logging, tracing, monitoring, and continuous evaluation — to ensure production readiness. - Career-Ready Skills & Placement Support
Beyond tech training, we prepare students for the job market with resume optimization, soft skills, interview prep, GitHub portfolio guidance, and more.
Choose the Right Program for You
- Business Analytics with AI – Designed for non-technical students (BBA, BCom, BA, BSc, MBA, MCA, ME), this course builds strong skills in data cleaning, analysis, visualization (Pandas, Matplotlib), and AI-driven decision-making with tools like ChatGPT.
- Full-Stack AI Developer Program – For technical students (BE, BTech, BCA, MCA, MSc IT, ME), this project-based course covers Python, API development, LLM integration, RAG frameworks, and cloud deployment. Students graduate with a Capstone project, building their own AI product.
