Summary

In this episode, we sit down with Dieter Veldhuis at Studio Ab Ovo to explore a bold vision shaping the future of IT: Speech-to-Software. What if you could simply talk, and instantly generate software-ready processes, documentation, and even system designs?

Dieter shares how Ab Ovo is navigating today’s fast-moving AI landscape while staying focused on a long-term strategy. At the heart of that vision is a platform built from hundreds (eventually thousands) of components, all working together to turn human input, speech, or text, into fully structured software outputs.

We dive into one of the most exciting innovations already emerging from this vision: the BPMN Wizard. This tool automatically converts conversations into visual business process maps in real time, eliminating the need for lengthy documentation and reducing miscommunication between stakeholders. Instead of writing reports after meetings, teams can now validate processes together and instantly.

Key topics include:

  • Why traditional documentation slows down software development
  • How visual process mapping improves alignment across teams
  • The shift from asynchronous documentation to real-time collaboration
  • Generating not just process flows, but also data models and UI designs from speech
  • How the BPMN Wizard is evolving into a standalone, multipurpose product
  • Use cases beyond IT, from process optimization to auditing and enterprise standardization
  • The human side of adoption: change management, trust, and learning new ways of working

Dieter also reflects on how intuitive these tools are becoming, so simple that even kids naturally interact with technology through speech rather than buttons. This signals a broader shift in how we’ll all build and interact with software in the near future.

Whether you're in IT, business transformation, or simply curious about where AI is taking us, this conversation offers a compelling look at what’s next.
