Chapter 5. Tools and Expertise

The edge AI development workflow includes many highly technical tasks, and most projects will require skills and expertise pooled by a team of experts.

The first section of this chapter is a guide to building the team that will turn your ideas into reality. Even if you’re still at an early stage, it’s helpful to understand the types of skills that will be important and the challenges you can expect to encounter. AI is all about automating human insights, so it’s vital that you have the right insights on your team.

The second part of the chapter, starting with “Tools of the Trade”, is designed to help get you to grips with the key technical tools for working with edge AI. If you’re still early in your product development journey, you may want to skim over some of the details—and then use this chapter as a reference once you’ve come up with some concrete ideas and are ready to start.
