Minimum Viable Product (MVP)

Minimum Viable Product (MVP) image
The simplest working version of an idea, used to test whether it's worth building out further before investing in a full product.

So what? A single prompt or skill built for one person can act as a lightweight MVP, revealing whether the underlying idea has real value before deciding whether to build it properly into a platform.

Example: Asking an AI assistant to generate a CV from someone's community profile started as a quick experiment, but is now being considered as a genuine feature to build into the product itself.
