Michiel's quarterly wrap-up is one of the established values of The Bar, so here we are. Michiel is looking forward to bring you right up-to-date with what has been disrupting the tech (and mostly AI) industry in the past few months. The battle of LLMs is back on thanks to DeepSeek (was it ever off, though?), AI songs are winning Grammys, and the United States' 'Stargate' might just be the beginning of something revolutionary. And most importantly: what does it all mean for your business?

In credit management, time is money — quite literally. Financial professionals face constant pressure to stay on top of overdue payments, credit limits, and customer behavior. CrediBill is a trusted partner for these professionals looking to streamline their credit management process. To make this process even more efficient, CrediBill was ready to explore how AI could fit into their platform. By teaming up with Raccoons, they wanted out to solve a simple but ambitious problem: What if financial teams could simply ask their data questions — and get the answers they need, instantly? In this keynote, Simon will explain how we tackled this use case and show you how it works.
