Notes from the workshop
What we learn building software for companies across Costa Rica, Chile and Latin America.
AI regulation in Chile and Costa Rica: what it means if you want a chatbot
Chile has an AI bill in the Senate with fines up to 20,000 UTM. Costa Rica has a strategy and no law. Neither stops you, but both change how you should go about it.
Custom software or off-the-shelf: how to decide without regretting it
Almost nobody needs a fully custom system, and almost nobody gets an off-the-shelf one to fit entirely. The decision is not between the two: it is knowing which part goes where.
What to check in the Registry before paying for a used car

E-invoicing 4.4 and TRIBU-CR: what actually changed for your business
