HOW ASKMONTY WORKS

Sources and method.

AskMonty collects Marco Montemagno’s content and links to the original sources. This page explains which material we use, what the catalogue covers and how summaries are produced. The project is independent and its editorial text is AI-generated.

Behind the scenes of the AskMonty projectWhy am I doing this?

A notebook full of ideas. Something I wanted to find again. And a project that waited in a drawer for more than two years.

Where the content comes from

AskMonty is an independent project. The website, editorial text and summaries are AI-generated; original resources belong to their authors. It is not Marco Montemagno’s official website and does not imply his endorsement.

What you can search

You can search titles, topics and available summaries. Titles, dates and links come from public podcast and blog feeds, the YouTube channel and selected sources. “Title and date from the official feed” marks a listing without a summary: its topics are inferred from the title and may be incomplete. For listings with editorial notes, search and topics also include the summary. AskMonty translates display titles into English and keeps official book, project and event names. Original content stays in the language in which it was published.

This is not a complete copy of everything Montemagno has published. Coverage of YouTube, social posts, courses and books is partial. Follow the official channel links to find material beyond our catalogue.

Each editorial note includes an AI summary, key points and the source consulted. This applies to podcasts, videos and Shorts. Notes distinguish speakers’ opinions from facts and report disclosed commercial partnerships. A partial source produces a partial summary, labelled on the page. Context from a related article is labelled separately.

Dates, updates and limitations

Dates come from the source and identify publication or a specific edition. The check date identifies when feeds were retrieved. An undated resource is not presented as new. Older entries are retained as feeds change.

Official pages can contain conflicting information: Lavorability uses its 2020 edition; Tutto Montemagno uses the 2021 listing for ISBN 9788891832719. The official homepage gives different years. Past events are marked; no upcoming show with a future date was verified.

Curiosities and possible conversations

Curiosities summarise documented facts and attributed testimony, with sources and dates. If I met Monty today… offers six perspectives on questions to ask Marco each week when source material supports an issue. Reader voices and questions are AskMonty AI editorial writing, not real interviews or Marco’s answers. Each issue preserves its time context and source references. The two illustrations are symbolic AI images, not depictions of an actual meeting.

An answer in Monty’s style?

For now, AskMonty searches the catalogue and does not generate chat answers. Any future assistant will need authorised, checked source material to answer questions about an episode; its title alone is insufficient. It will also need to identify itself as independent, without impersonating Marco or inventing quotations.

Monty’s words

The dictionary collects recurring expressions and references, with AI editorial explanations and usage sources where available. Community suggestions without a public reference are labelled; episode-specific symbols identify expressions documented in the title or content.

As the saying goes

The pearl collection distinguishes wording recalled by Marco from original authorship. Cards include the relevant content, an approximate time and, where documented, a source for the attribution. English versions are editorial translations, except for sayings already spoken in English. Jokes, paraphrases and promotional contexts are labelled; uncertain authorship remains unverified.

Quizzes and curiosities: how we choose the facts

Every quiz pairs one documented fact with three invented alternatives. Answers are shuffled each time. The reveal includes the source and date; a past announcement does not prove an event took place. The text is an AI retelling, not a quotation from Marco.

Sources checked on 15 September 2026. With analytics consent, we save quiz results to improve the game. You can play without consenting.

A NOTE ON THE IMAGES

Images to accompany the ideas.

Selected episodes have dedicated illustrations generated with AI by AskMonty and inspired by their titles or a theme from the content. These are independent visual interpretations, not official covers, photographs of guests or verified summaries of the audio. The “AI illustration” label identifies them.

Videos can also have dedicated AI illustrations inspired by their titles or a theme from the content, shown on cards and before loading the player. These are not official YouTube thumbnails, video frames or verified summaries. The local illustration does not load the player: YouTube activates only after your click.

Articles, books, projects and events can also have dedicated AI illustrations selected for the individual resource. They are independent metaphors, not official covers or evidence of reported events.

Podcasts, videos, books, articles, projects and events have a default AI illustration for each format: a microphone, a video camera, an open book, editorial pages, a planning board and a stage. These are generic images, not official covers or depictions of particular people, recordings, publications, projects or events. When a resource has dedicated artwork, it automatically replaces the default.

Each resource keeps the same illustration in Italian and English. The images adapt to cards and pages.
