During his talk, Vargas stressed the importance of every entrepreneur being clear about the problem they're trying to solve before starting their project. "Do you know what problem you're going to solve?" he asked attendees before introducing PowerCheck's features.
PowerCheck is an innovative artificial intelligence tool designed to assess the viability of entrepreneurial projects. Using advanced data analysis models, the platform lets entrepreneurs identify risks, measure opportunities, and optimize business strategies based on objective criteria and real-time data.
The event, held February 21–23 at the Espacio Cultural Julio Le Parc in Mendoza, brought together experts, professionals, and AI enthusiasts in a space for learning and innovation. Over three days, it covered AI applications across fields ranging from medicine to entertainment, as well as the financial ecosystem and advertising.
