01 / Build
I build AI tools for your team.
Working software, designed with the people who’ll use it. It takes the repetitive work off their plate; they keep the judgment.
LorenzoColombani I make humans and machines intelligible to each other.
Designer & Developer. AI products, learning systems, interactive web experiences.
English-speaking companies. Remote, hybrid, or onsite.

What I do
I design and build AI tools, training programs, and interactive web experiences. Everything I hand over is built so your team can use it without me.
Three things you can hire me for.
02 / Train
I train and coach people, and build AI-powered interactive courses.
Live workshops and coaching for your team, plus interactive courses they keep using after I’ve left.
03 / Retain
Available on retainer, for a few clients at a time.
You don’t need me to run what I built. Keep me on when you want it to keep getting better: days reserved for you each month, to design, build, and improve.
Details and price with me, not on this page.
How the building gets doneI design the product and make the technical calls — architecture, stack, interactions — then direct AI coding tools that build to my spec. I review and test everything that ships.
Work
Selected work.
Every method I use ships as a working tool — if it can’t be used without me in the room, I haven’t finished it.

01 / 3D World · In progress
The Workshop
A portfolio you walk into: a real-time 3D pavilion over the ocean, where the work sits on a table and opens when you touch it. Drag to look around, touch an object to use it. Still being built — shown as it renders today.

02 / Native macOS App
OpenBots
Claude as a team of persistent, named teammates — v0.5.0, the ground-up rebuild of Agency: durable local state, explicit approvals, six built-in characters. No API key; it rides the subscription. Swift 6, MIT, open source. Preview build: the executor for consequential actions is disabled.

05 / Curation · Wharton
AI, Applied.
A searchable library of 87 real-world AI use cases. I convened the contributors and built the site for the Wharton Alumni AI Studio (an alumni nonprofit) — spotlight rotation, fuzzy search, contributor profiles; Astro, React, GSAP.
Open Case study
06 / Web Film
The Bridge
An interactive web film — Three.js portals, GLSL, GSAP. A 4.5-minute proof that a method can be a place you walk through. Score: Kevin MacLeod.
