Good Pirates Ship Fast: L'Oreal's AI-First in 90 Days (May '24), Accelerating Since | Thomas Menard

Want to see AI-first at scale? Check out Thomas Menard and the rockstar team at L’Oreal showing us how it’s done.Embracing AI to drive “idea to impact” in less than 90 days for a 100,000 person enterprise is impressive.To do it in May 2024 is outrageous. My man Thomas Menard is a “good pirate” who personifies the “ship fast, learn, iterate” approach. No analysis paralysis. No tech for tech’s sake. No science projects. Just a ruthless commitment to augmenting people to create business value.Intelligent systems that abstract complexity so everybody, engineers and non-engineers, can create value without becoming AI experts.What’s next?From Gen-AI-as-a-Service to a proper Agentic AI platform. Realizing the dual benefits of AI infrastructure while balancing the buy vs build equation accordingly.Think context engineering, AI-first architecture, platform design and continuous improvement.1% better every day. This is the way.s/o Harrison Chase, LangChain + GCP
