Hey, I'm Lorenzo Scaturchio

I build AI and web tools that show their sources: retrieval that cites what it read, automation that only decides what it safely can. I also write essays about technology, attention and work.

01 — Things I made

Things I actually shipped.

Three tools, each written up as who it is for and what changes for them. All three are running; none of them are demos.

01 — Accessibility

Cocoon: Lower the sensory load of the web

For people who find the web overwhelming: calmer feeds, less motion, and a breathing exercise one click away. No account, and nothing leaves their browser.

No account needed · Zero network calls · 4 presets

02 — Consumer App

Verso: A diary for artworks, not visits

For museum-goers: log each work you stand in front of, even in a basement with no signal, and rate them later that evening. Letterboxd for paintings rather than visits.

10k Met works preloaded · Works offline · Rate later, in one queue

03 — Automation

merge-gate: Decide what merges without a human

Keeps a fleet of repositories patched without one person reading every update. Updates that cannot change behaviour merge on their own; anything that could waits for a human.

~80 repos kept current · Behaviour changes always wait · 49 tests

03 — Who I am

The rest of it.

Southern California. Absurdism, film as a way of thinking, and music made at home. I climb, run, and surf badly enough to keep enjoying it.
