Leobit Will Host a Webinar on Defining the AI Roadmap with R&D Services

Lviv, Ukraine, February 2026 — Leobit, a full-cycle .NET, AI, and web application development provider, is excited to announce its upcoming webinar “How to define your AI roadmap with R&D services,” taking place on February 11th, 2026, at 5:00 PM CET/ 10:00 CST.

During the webinar, our experts will share practical insights and hands-on experience in using research and development (R&D) as the fastest and most efficient way to validate the AI development idea before its implementation.

A recent McKinsey report reveals that only a few organizations have managed to reach the maturity level where artificial intelligence fundamentally changes business workflows. One of the key reasons behind this problem is that many AI development projects start with a flawed assumption. Meanwhile, R&D is a certain way to define the AI adoption roadmap by exploring the idea’s feasibility through the development of a proof of concept (PoC) or a prototype.

This session will benefit business and technology executives, as well as operational leaders looking to drive business value through experimentation and adoption of innovative AI solutions. It will provide them with a comprehensive overview of R&D as an efficient way to maximize the efficiency of AI initiatives.

Leobit has a strong R&D department that actively experiments with Azure AI services, such as Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, Azure AI Vision, Azure AI Speech, and Azure Machine Learning. We have built several PoCs that cover multiple tasks, from transcription and translation to image analysis and icon generation.

Two of our leading technology experts will share the insights during the webinar:

• Yurii Shunkin, Head of R&D Department at Leobit. During his 14 years of experience in the IT industry, Yurii has held various roles, including those of a developer, an architect, and a CTO. He is currently an R&D Director at Leobit. Yurii has contributed to over 30 AI/ML projects and has 10 years of AI experience. He specializes in innovative AI solutions and has significant experience in optimizing LLMs for business innovation.
• Vitalii Datsyshyn, Solution Architect at Leobit. Vitalii specializes in designing scalable, high-performance software architectures. He actively contributes to Leobit’s R&D initiatives and plays a key role in presales and solution design. To tailor software solutions to client needs, Vitalii uses technologies such as .NET, AI, and cloud-native services.

Our speakers will focus on the following topics:

• Why AI R&D matters: the fastest way to validate unknowns before implementation
• When to outsource R&D (and when not to)
• Technical consulting and validation: feasibility assessment as a service
• Optimizing the R&D process with AI
• How R&D differs from and complements the discovery phase
• The four risk lenses for evaluating ideas: desirability, viability, feasibility, usability
• A practical R&D playbook for AI initiatives: using the ICE framework to prioritize experiments
• What project success looks like: thresholds, decision logs, measurable outcomes, cost-saving strategies, and how to start small (1–2 weeks, a focused team)

After the webinar, we will host an interactive Q&A where attendees can speak directly with the presenters about their real-world cases, challenges, and opportunities.
