TL;DR: I created the AI Engagement Accelerator Kit to help real teams ship GenAI solutions faster — with structure, security, and scale. It’s open-source and ready to fork.
Generative AI has sparked one of the most exciting tech shifts in a generation. Yet as teams race to build with LLMs, I’ve seen the same problem surface again and again:
No playbook. No structure. No alignment.
Teams jump in with high expectations but hit roadblocks fast — unclear objectives, mismatched stakeholders, fragile experiments, and no path to production.
So I built something I wish I had on Day 1:
The AI Engagement Accelerator Kit
The AI Engagement Accelerator Kit is an open-source playbook for teams who want to confidently plan, build, and deploy Generative AI projects. It’s practical, extensible, and ready to fork.
Whether you’re prototyping an internal chatbot or scaling a RAG-powered assistant, the kit offers:
- ✅ Phase-by-phase guides (Discovery to Deployment)
- ✅ Notebooks for prompt engineering, LangChain, and output evaluation
- ✅ Templates for backlog creation (Jira + Azure DevOps)
- ✅ Streamlit apps for knowledge assistants
- ✅ RAG pipelines with FAISS, Chroma, Pinecone
- ✅ Secure .env scaffolding for Hugging Face + OpenAI keys
-
✅ Governance, testing, stakeholder alignment tips
This kit was designed for real teams — not just hobby projects:
- PMs and Engagement Leads: Clear workflows to keep teams aligned
- AI Architects: Pre-wired integrations and patterns that scale
- ML Engineers: Practical tools for chaining, vector search, and QA
- Stakeholders: Templates to set goals, track outcomes, and evaluate success
LLMs don’t just answer prompts. They can reason, reflect, and act. The kit includes a full demo of:
- An agent that ingests PDFs
- Builds a vector store (FAISS)
- Answers questions via Streamlit UI
- Uses LangChain and OpenAI to explain its steps
This is where GenAI gets real — workflows, not just magic.
Most GenAI projects stall out after a prototype. This kit helps you:
- Align early with stakeholders
- Evaluate use cases quickly
- Ship faster without cutting corners
- Build responsibly (with compliance + transparency)
- Visit: github.com/stanchat/AIEngagementAcceleratorKit
- Clone or fork the repo
- Try the notebooks and Streamlit apps
- Use the templates and phase guides
- Build your own GenAI workflows
This is just the start. I’d love to collaborate with:
- AI practitioners building enterprise workflows
- Agile/DevOps experts who want to bring structure to GenAI
- Open source contributors who want to add tools or demos
If that’s you — fork it, test it, remix it. Or just reach out on LinkedIn.
Let’s help GenAI teams stop starting from scratch.
Coming Soon: CI/CD agent validation, Notion live sync, and Hugging Face Spaces integrations.
