Presentation of Artefacto41 at 4YFN: A new platform to deploy AI in a structured way across the entire company
Por Artefacto
Artefacto Studio officially presents Artefacto41 at 4YFN: its new corporate platform for accessing and governing AI-based solutions (www.artefacto41.com/en).
After years supporting organizations in their digital transformation processes, Artefacto Studio takes the next step: not only helping define AI strategies but also building the infrastructure to deploy them effectively.
Artefacto41 was born out of a clear need: AI adoption is growing, but often in a disorganized way, with isolated tools, suboptimal costs, and no common foundation to scale intelligently.
The platform allows companies to access different AI models from a unified environment, pay based on actual usage instead of fixed per-user licenses, set governance and control rules by area and role, and evolve toward agents and solutions connected to internal processes.
If you’ll be at 4YFN and want to experience Artefacto41 firsthand, visit the Tech Barcelona stand and meet the team directly.
