João Costa Fernandes em palco na Convenção Nacional DSIC, 2026

DSIC National Convention, 2026. 500 professionals. None were from tech. All left understanding what AI agents are.

- Recognized by

Not another AI course. An intervention with foundations.

- The Problem

Your company is using AI without understanding it.That's going to cost you.

ChatGPT. Copilot. Claude. Gemini. Agents. Every week a new tool. Every week someone on your team swears 'this is the one'. Next week, they change their mind.

Most companies are using AI like they used Excel in the 90s: without understanding what's underneath. And what we don't master, masters us.

You feel the tsunami coming, you see the water recede — and you stand there, not knowing whether to run, surf, or wait.

- Self-assessment

Take this test in 30 seconds.

If you checked fewer than 2, we need to talk.

- Anti-Guru

Be careful who teaches you AI.

João Costa Fernandes — engenheiro informático com 20+ anos a construir sistemas de IA em produção

Most of the AI training out there is delivered by people who have never built a system in production. Digital marketing gurus outpaced by AI, who memorised three prompts and now call themselves 'AI Strategists'. The problem isn't the pretty slide — it's the absence of scars.

I have been building AI systems for over a decade. In banks, in insurance companies, across 11 countries. When the model fails at 3 a.m., I am the one answering. That's the difference.

  • Computer engineering as a foundation, not a buzzword
  • Systems in production, not conference slides
  • Real cases with enterprise clients, not Instagram demos
  • Accountable when the system fails, not just retweets when it works

- Testimonials

What people who attended these sessions say.

In half a day, the team understood more about AI than in months of online courses. And they left with a plan for the next 90 days.

I thought I was going to hear yet another AI guru. Instead, I heard a CEO showing exactly what works in production. No fluff.

It completely changed the way we look at our processes. It's not training, it's a wake-up call.

João Costa Fernandes, CEO da DocDigitizer e advisor da Comissão Europeia em IA

- Who I am

I'm not a trainer.I'm the CEO of one of the largest AI companies in Portugal.

João Fernandes. Computer engineer. Over 20 years working with AI and over 15 as an entrepreneur. CEO of DocDigitizer, which has been bringing AI into banks and insurance companies across 11 countries for over 10 years. Advisor to the European Commission on AI. Author of 3 books.

But what sets me apart from everyone trying to sell you AI training isn't the resume. It's these two numbers:

82%

of my work is done through AI.

24%

of it is done by fully autonomous AI.

  • Computer engineering as a foundation, not a buzzword
  • Systems in production, not conference slides
  • Real cases with enterprise clients, not Instagram demos
  • Accountable when the system fails, not just retweets when it works

These are the numbers that matter. These are the numbers your company should be measuring. And these are the numbers that will determine whether you stay relevant.

- The Reality

This is already happening.

Faster than you think.

12,000

People laid off by Cognizant. In a single day.

20%

Of PayPal employees let go.

14%

Of Coinbase eliminated. Replaced by AI.

82%

Of João's work is already done by AI. 24% fully autonomously.

It's impossible to master what we don't understand. But it's very easy to be mastered by what we don't understand.

The approach that will doom your company

  • Use AI to do less
  • Switch off your brain and let AI decide
  • Automate stupid processes that shouldn't exist
  • Pursue quality before speed
  • Wait for someone else to do it for you
  • Think this is an IT issue

The approach that keeps you relevant

  • Use AI to transform what you do
  • Switch on your brain more than ever
  • Rethink processes before automating
  • Gain speed first, quality later
  • Everyone in the company is responsible
  • This is a business issue, not a tech one

Anyone who doesn't have over 80% of their work going through AI within 9 months will become irrelevant in the new world.

- Agents

AI Agents: the leap that changes everything.

You know ChatGPT. You ask questions, get answers. Then you do the rest yourself. An agent is different. You give it a goal. It executes.

Observe

Connects to your email, CRM, WhatsApp, drive, browser. Absorbs information autonomously.

Plan

Receives an objective and designs a plan to reach it. Without you explaining every step.

Execute

Doesn't hand you an answer for you to work on. Executes the actions. Sends emails, makes bookings, fills forms.

Reproduce

When it finds something it can't do, it creates a specialised child agent. And then uses it whenever needed.
