After over 6 years working on the startup I co-founded (which was fully acquired by a larger company in 2024, after they had bought a majority stake in 2022), I’ve been focusing on building a new company since the beginning of this year.

I’ve explored a few different projects since January but nothing stuck, now working on https://pitch31.ai a SaaS that turns any OpenAPI specs (or Postman collections) into a conversational AI agent, so you can work with APIs without the need of a UI.

We are still early on the product and looking for some user feedback to improve it. Planning to launch it on major platforms in the next month!

Italy, as you know, has been the first western country to be impacted by COVID-19.

After the first lockdown, with the re-opening, the italian government (and most EU country) introduced restrictions for all restaurants and pubs, with mandatory contact-tracing of all their guests, in order do prevent another wave of the pandemic.

We soon noticed that the vast majority of them were still relying on pen and paper as the main solution for their contact tracing.

So we decided to challenge ourselves with a mini-hackaton. After 3 days of working heads down we built the MVP of Eatalo.

We then went out door to door to all the local restaurants in our area to "promote" the service. The results were encouraging, with a high adoption rate and great early feedbacks, which allowed us to iterate and finally make the product better. It took us 2 weeks of hard work to build the final app now we are ready to launch it worldwide!

That is a good point. This was mainly a personal challenge to build a side project that could be useful in the shortest time possible (end up building this in 2 day), so my focus is not to build the next big thing but just building somethig and having fun in the process ;)
