Biography
Dani Diestre is Co-founder and CEO of Autentic AI, a Barcelona startup building AI agents that run qualitative customer research at scale, recruiting participants, conducting interviews, and generating insight in a fraction of the usual cycle.
He studied Computer Engineering at UPC and was previously Head of Product at Finletic. He came to the company from product rather than from research. He hosts Product Leaders, a long-running Spanish-language podcast interviewing product leaders across the ecosystem, and founded Product Makers, a community focused on building products with AI.
That combination gives him a view of AI adoption from inside the product function: what changes in how teams learn about their users, and what still requires human judgment. His perspective is especially relevant for audiences interested in applied AI in product development, voice and conversational agents, market research automation, and the Barcelona startup ecosystem.
