Dmitry Bitman is a product leader and founder with 16 years of experience building AI-first customer operations and scalable consumer platforms. He currently leads Afanasiy, a computer-use AI agent deployed in a 20,000-operator contact center that already handles ~10% of traffic and delivered pilots with up to 60% automation and human-parity quality, while scaling his team from 2 to 40+. Previously he built Tinkoff’s industry-leading chatbot stack and grew an AI-for-Operations organization that drove tens of millions in annual P&L impact and staffed ~250 cross-functional people. Dmitry combines hands-on engineering (he built much of hipdir.com’s stack and early prototypes himself) with product rigor—A/B-tested economic control loops, continuous QA, and concrete staged roadmaps for agent autonomy. His current approach favors behavioral cloning and human-in-the-loop data at the UI level rather than brittle prompt engineering, a contrarian bet that trades CPU for scalable, self-improving supervision. He’s pragmatic about risks and moats: having learned to “bet bigger, not safer,” he helps teams deploy LLM agents into real operations with evaluation and safety baked in.
