What to expect?

The Weekend Build Myth. One Year of Building Fintech with AI

You can build a fintech product over a weekend with AI. That's the promise many tech leaders hear.

At this Business Breakfast, Marek Gajda, COO atThe Software House, will share what one year of AI-driven software delivery taught TSH teams. He'll bring examples from projects for banks & fintechs with the wins, the setbacks, and the new problems that replaced the old ones.

You'll get the full picture:

● where AI speeds up delivery,

● where it creates new work,

● and what changes for companies that handle money and customer data.

We will continue the discussion during a panel moderated by Michał Szehidewicz AI & Fintech Strategy Consultant @ The Software House. Product and technology leaders who spent the past year building with AI will share their own experience.

Did they face the same challenges, or different ones?
