What is discussed
AskMonty AI editorial noteSource consulted:
Montemagno introduces Spiegamelo Facile as an experiment in running a business mainly through AI agents, starting with a practical newsletter for freelancers and small entrepreneurs. He describes brainstorming, website construction, research, selection and content review. He retains direction, principles and oversight because he distrusts complete autonomy and wants to learn. The launch does not establish the project's commercial sustainability.
Key points
- The product starts from a personal need for practical guidance when working independently.
- Agents are organized into research, assessment, writing and review involving multiple models.
- The 95% AI and 5% human split is the experiment's target, with judgment and responsibility retained by the founder.
