# AI Demo Meets Production Reality

## Why It Works

- It rides the AI-demo trend while adding a credible engineering angle.
- The twist is not skepticism; it is asking what survives real use.
- It creates room for tests, evals, logs, memory, incidents, and maintainability.

## Notes

- Show the boring production artifact quickly.
