I Cloned Wispr Flow. For Me, It Works Even Better.
I left Wispr Flow for my own offline dictation in k0. Not to save money: for freedom. And what it taught me about products that are only surface, owning the engine, and being everywhere.
The Day All the AIs Stopped
A movie in my mind: every AI stops working for good, and after the panic comes silence and the real world. It will never happen, and that says a lot about how we are using AI at work.
A Watermark Tells You Where a Text Passed Through. Not How Much Human Thinking Is Inside.
Claude now watermarks every word it writes. I went looking for the stamp: how it really works, where it breaks, and why it leaves me uneasy.
The Hidden Cost of “I Can Clone This in Five Minutes”
Claude Code makes the first version easy. Building my own personal agent, Maria, reminded me what the hype hides: testing, learning, improving and maintaining, forever.
What I Learned Building Carla and Andrea, My Two AI Agents
Two production agents, one on the phone and one on WhatsApp and email, rebuilt almost every day: evals and judges, shorter prompts, tools that know when not to fire, costs and model prices that keep moving, a North Star, and the humans in the loop, with the real numbers.
Let Your Agents Drive the Browser (With You Watching)
The internet was not built for agents, but agents now use it more than anyone. From Iceland bookings to Google Cloud, I log in and let them drive, at the speed I choose.
What If a Judge Fixed Your Agents?
An LLM judge checks two production agents every hour, tests each prompt fix on a copy first, then ships it. Three greens and the defect is solved.
You Can See the Potential, But the Owner Sets the Speed
Ten lessons from working as a growth engineer on a business that is not mine: the owner sets the speed, the contract is one page, the data is the only judge.
I Used AI to Plan Iceland With Five Friends. The Hard Part Was the Humans.
Five friends, one Iceland road trip, a voting app, three PDFs and AI bookings. AI was the easy part: the real limit was context switching and humans in the loop.
The S.C.A.L.E. Framework I Use to Build AI Agents That Do Real Work
Five letters for thinking about AI agents — Scale, Consistent, Adapt, Learn, Escalate — told through Carla and Andrea, the voice and text agents I built for an Italian auctions consultancy.
Alessio's G-SEO Suite: One Google App So My Scripts Can Read (and Fix) My SEO
The companion to Alessio's G-Suite: one private Google app for Search Console, Analytics and Tag Manager, with write access on purpose — because read-only is comfortable, and write is where the time saving is.
I Stopped Making a Google App for Every Script. Now I Have One, and It's Called Alessio's G-Suite
My kids' school script died silently because its Google connection was never set up. Instead of one more OAuth app for one more script, I made one for everything — and watched Claude configure Google Cloud by driving Chrome in 12 minutes.
