AI PoC vs AI MVP — What's the Difference?

An AI PoC answers “Can we build it?” while an AI MVP answers “Should we scale it?” PoCs are cheap experiments; MVPs are real products that users depend on.

In practice:

• PoC – internal, narrow scope, validates feasibility and value.
• MVP – external, user‑facing, validates product‑market fit.
• PoC timelines are measured in weeks; MVPs in months.
