When building our video production tool for newsrooms, AIvid, we knew we needed a UI framework that could keep up with our pace—and shadcn/ui was the perfect choice.

It’s a great library with a solid foundation for a universal interface. While we still need to build some unique components to match AIVid’s innovative features, using shadcn has sped up our work significantly.

The best part? Both our designers and developers are happy—collaboration feels seamless, and production is faster than ever. And with clients already waiting just around the corner, every saved moment counts.

Shadcn might not do everything out of the box, but it gives us the head start to focus on what makes AIVid special. Highly recommended for teams looking for flexibility and speed in UI development!

A new AI-powered proof of concept from our team!

This time, we present an AI Travel Assistant designed by Aleksandra Bujanowska!

Inspired by platforms like TripAdvisor, we’ve developed a proof of concept (PoC) that guides users through trip planning with a simple interface. It includes tailored recommendations to match traveler’s preferences and customizable plans that adapt to the user’s needs.

This way, users spend more time exploring, leading to higher bookings and improved retention, and automated trip planning saves time and cuts business costs.

Take a look at how it works 👇

AI Travel Assistant – personalized trip planning Drawing inspiration from platforms like TripAdvisor, this PoC integrates an intelligent assistant directly into search results for users looking for hotels and travel options.

AI projects have an exceptionally high failure rate – and that’s not clickbait.

What the research says:

👉 Failure rates for AI projects can reach as high as 80%, almost twice the failure rate of traditional IT projects.

👉 A recent Deloitte study showed that only 18% of organizations reduce costs thanks to AI, and only 27% improve efficiency and productivity.

👉 Back in 2021, Gartner alarmed that just 53% of AI projects transition from prototype to production – mainly because CIOs and IT leaders find it hard to scale AI projects due to the lack of tools to create and manage a production-grade AI pipeline.

At the same time, experts are convinced that most failures could be avoided – if only business leaders grounded their projects in achievable outcomes. Harvard Business Review once called this disconnection between expectations and reality “dumb reasons” – but are they really that dumb?

We investigated the causes, and the answers are pretty interesting, so take a look!
