ONE EPISODE, A STARTING POINT

I launched a startup run by AI agents

21:54Marco Montemagno · podcast RSS

Marco introduces Spiegamelo Facile as a business experiment and an opportunity to learn by doing. He wants a free, practical newsletter for professionals and small business owners, offering ideas useful in the following working week. He says he reached launch preparation in five days. The proposed 95% AI-agent and 5% human split is an operating goal, not a demonstrated measurement of achieved autonomy. He describes building the process one part at a time: research, editorial selection, content, branding and distribution. He supplies his own material and an RSS collection accumulated over years. Human checks remain because he does not trust agents blindly; he purchases the domain himself and already has a substantial mailing list. He accepts the possibility of public failure as part of learning what these systems can actually do.
