AI in organizations

Blomfield loop

The five elements of a loop from How to Build a Self-Improving Company with AI by Tom Blomfield at YC:

  • Sense: Capture real-world signals, e.g. a customer cancels.
  • Decide: Apply rules and permissions, e.g. escalate large refunds to a human.
  • Act: Use reliable tools and APIs, e.g. query the customer database.
  • Verify: Check quality and safety, e.g. run tests before deploying code.
  • Learn: Diagnose failures and improve the system, e.g. add a missing tool after a query fails.
