Louis-François Bouchard

Louis-François Bouchard is the CTO and co-founder of Towards AI. He spends much of his time inside companies helping technical and non-technical teams figure out where AI actually improves their work, how to use it effectively, and how to turn the best experiments into repeatable workflows and production systems. He co-authored the books *Building LLMs for Production* in 2024 and *AI Engineering for Production* in 2026 and leads AI training and implementation programs covering everything from everyday agent use to evaluation, RAG, AI engineering, and production LLM applications. Through Towards AI and his What’s AI channel, he also shares practical AI engineering lessons with 70,000+ developers and AI practitioners. His current focus is the gap between giving everyone AI tools and actually changing how an organization works: how training, evaluation, architecture, and human expertise need to fit together for AI adoption to stick.
