Francesco Di Lorenzo

I am an Italian tech founder and software engineer. I love building products that people use every day.

Currently, I am working on Typefully, an AI-powered writing app for social media with hundreds of thousands of users worldwide.

In the past I also worked on various other projects:

  • Mailbrew - Personal email digests (excited!)
  • Unreadit - Semi-automated newsletters based on Reddit
  • Boxy Suite - Expanded Boxy into a suite with subscription
  • Boxy - Mac web wrapper for Gmail Inbox
  • Libretto - Grades tracking app

I have a background in engineering and computer science and was employee number 30 at Bending Spoons, before leaving to do my own startups.

The DJI Mic Mini 2 is absolutely incredible for prompting. I use it with Wispr Flow to talk with my agents and it improves the experience in some critical ways: ✦ It brings accuracy from 95% to basically 99.999%, making you go considerably faster. You don't even have to check the output before pressing Enter on a prompt. ✦ It can hear you even if you whisper. Great if you share your workspace with someone. ✦ It doesn't stop or distort the music while you dictate (this is particularly annoying with AirPods).

The hype is real. Had my Fable moment earlier this morning and felt like sharing this in our internal Slack channel where we discuss AI workflows. Curious to try Codex 5.6 when it drops to see if it provides a similar experience.
