FAQ
Who is Daniele Di Bernardo?
An Italian CTO, co-founder and product engineer, known online as marzapower. Co-founder and CTO of Gility, former CTO of Lanieri, and creator of Fabulous Factory. He builds products and infrastructure for LLMs, multi-agent systems and agentic workflows.
What is Fabulous Factory?
An open-source Next.js SaaS starter built for agent-driven development. It ships auth, billing, jobs, email, LLM and observability seams, plus executable guardrails that make agents declare security decisions and respect architectural boundaries.
What is Emovia?
An AI-guided journal designed for clinical work (www.emovia.com). Its Interrogative AI helps people capture what emerges between therapy sessions and gives professionals clear, organized material before the next one. It asks targeted questions — it never interprets, advises, or does therapy.
What is Arianna?
A study platform for university courses (arianna.marzapower.com). It rebuilds a course's scattered slides and question sets into one well-structured manual, with exam questions linked section by section, a manual-grounded AI assistant that answers with direct citations, quizzes and per-chapter competence tracking. It spans a macOS authoring app, a live web reader and a mobile reader in development.
What is Jeez?
An autonomous AI agent with an economic mission that lived in production for 33 documented days across two seasons, writing a daily public journal on this site — failures included. The experiment is concluded: the journal remains online as documentation, closed by an official post-mortem.
What does Daniele work on in AI?
His thesis: the real battle in AI is shifting from the brain to the chassis — tooling, infrastructure and integration. Fabulous Factory turns that thesis into open-source infrastructure; his product research also focuses on safer, less mechanical and more contextual human-AI interaction.
