#AI

To avoid just adding AI to your product for no reason, I would take a look at your roadmap ideas before you were thinking about AI (probably they are too old, but hear me out).

Look for ideas that had high potential for reach and impact, but were deemed too hard (or impossible) to implement. This is where you might find that things have changed in your favor, and you have already determined that customers want it.

That's why three is money. I could also see the argument for zero.
