Demonstrate the prototype and plan a responsible release
Make the final demo an evidence-backed story
Start with a request, retrieve a defensible shortlist, draft a proposal, inspect the total, approve the current version, and produce a simulation receipt. Then deliberately show a blocked action. A demo that includes recovery teaches more than an uninterrupted happy path.
Explain which parts are implemented: fixture retrieval, deterministic totals, state transitions, gates, and component tests. Distinguish the optional local-model extraction runner from the browser simulation. Neither is a live DoorDash checkout.
Check your understanding
Which statement accurately describes the finished course project?
Check platform access before promising integration
DoorDash’s Marketplace getting-started page says access is limited and prospective partners can apply. Its developer overview describes different services. Delivery logistics APIs are not evidence of unrestricted consumer ordering access.
For a next version, verify an authorized integration that fits the exact use case, its permitted capabilities, and operational requirements. Until then, keep a human handoff for real ordering. Do not invent an endpoint or present a simulation as a completed purchase.
Check your understanding
Match each artifact to what it demonstrates.
Finish with a go/no-go memo
Run the baseline evaluation, document what remains untested, and record your release boundary. The course prototype is ready for learning and local demonstrations; live purchasing requires more integration and operational work.
In your final reflection, explain one product tradeoff, one technical invariant, one failure you diagnosed, and one next experiment. You now have a concrete way to reason about agentic products without confusing a convincing conversation with a reliable system.
Check your understanding
State your release boundary in two sentences.
Key takeaways
- Demonstrate both the happy path and a protected failure.
- Make simulation and live capabilities explicit.
- Plan the next release from evidence and verified access.
