How AI is Eliminating the #1 Bottleneck in Startup Development
·OnlineOnlineMost startups lose weeks and sometimes entire funding rounds because their technical documentation is outdated, incomplete, or non-existent. In this session, Qualitti's team will show how AI agents can transform recorded meetings, PDFs, and code repositories into complete, investor-ready technical documentation in under 60 minutes.
We'll cover:
- Why traditional documentation is a startup killer — and what the data says
- Live demo: from a recorded meeting to full technical specs in real time
- GDPR compliance as a byproduct, not a project: how startups can significantly reduce the time and cost of regulatory compliance without external consultancy
- How to connect documentation directly to your Git repository for automated code impact analysis
Speaker:
- Name: José Helio Westarb Júnior
- Bio: Technology specialist with over 15 years of experience in AI, Machine Learning, and software engineering. Having worked at major companies such as Grupo Boticário — a Brazilian holding with US$ 6 billion in revenue and a presence in over 50 countries — he currently serves as CTO at Qualitti Sviluppo, an Italian innovation company, and is the creator of SmartDoc — a multi-agent solution that transforms meetings and documents into complete technical specifications.
