## Talk Description

We've entered the era of "just add AI." Slap a prompt box on it, ship it, call it intelligent. But the products people love don't feel like AI demos. They feel obvious, fast, and considered. They have taste.



Taste isn't subjective fluff. It's the difference between a streaming response that renders progressively and one that dumps text in a single repaint. It's choosing to compose rich, interactive UI instead of defaulting to a chat window. In this code-heavy session, we'll explore what taste actually means when building with AI: performance patterns, rendering decisions, and the product instincts that separate forgettable AI wrappers from tools people reach for every day.
