The minimum viable loop for building products with AI takes just four steps for me:

First, clearly define “who would pay for this, and in what situation”; then spend a week building an ugly version that gets the main flow working; next, find ten real users and see where they get stuck; finally, fix only that sticking point.

Skip any step, and you’ll end up with “it’s finished, but nobody uses it.”

The point of the loop isn’t speed—it’s finding out as early as possible where you’re wrong.
