Homework 3: Pitch-deck for Project

Due Date: March 31, 2025  Status:Posted

The objective of this assignment is to create a pitch deck for a class project focused on building agentic Gen AI solutions for business. You are tasked with identifying a specific business problem, proposing a solution using Gen AI technologies, and presenting how your solution addresses the problem. The pitch deck should also cover market validation, business model, risk assessment, and mitigation strategies, culminating in a clear ask for support or resources.

Follow this outline for your presentation.

Pitch Deck Outline

  1. Introduction

    • Briefly introduce your team and project. For example, mention your team members’ backgrounds and how they contribute to the project.
    • Provide an overview of the business problem you aim to solve. Ask yourself: “What specific challenge does our project address, and why is it important?”

  2. Problem Statement

    • Emphasize the unique value proposition of your solution. Ask yourself: “What sets our solution apart from existing solutions, and how will it improve outcomes?”

  4. Technologies Used

    • Explain the Gen AI technologies and tools you plan to use. For instance, “We will utilize TensorFlow for building the neural network and Google Cloud for data processing.”
    • Discuss how these technologies will enable your solution. Questions to consider:
      • How will these technologies enhance the functionality or efficiency of our solution?
      • What are the benefits of using these specific technologies over others?

  5. Market Validation
