Setok··on We taught an AI how to navigate websites
I'm one of the people on the team that did this. We basically used technologies similar to what self-driving cars would use to recognise their environment, to teach and guide an AI system how to execute goal-oriented interactions. It can measure the quality of those interactions, both visually and technically (performance), and sends alerts if something is completely broken (e.g. adding a product to a shopping cart doesn't do anything).

Let me know if you have any questions. I can't spill all the secrets of how it works, but maybe some :)

Setok··on Banking in Berlin
Yes, in different countries there are different mechanisms to do this. Some places you can manage completely online. There are things you can do before the ID check, but at some point it needs to be done, yes.

Good point. Let's see what we could do about that. Thanks.

On Holvi: we completely replace traditional banks. So we do not just interface with your existing bank, we actually offer you a whole new type of current account. It is thus not merely an app, but a new banking service. One with, yes, integrated accounting and other things.

"You fill out the form, print it out, sign it, go to the post office with your ID, the post-person will check if your ID matches the form and send it to the bank.Few days later you will get your cards and passwords and are ready to go." — I'm not exactly sure I'd call that a nice process :-)

And not just any countries, but all the Nordic ones. In the winter. In search of entrepreneurs and startups, and writing every day. And yeah, the name is of course related to the TSP ;-)
