About

Meet Marco.

I'm Marco. I've spent the last decade building AI products at scale, from computer vision for construction sites that cut reporting and invoicing admin by 90% ($35M in VC, acquired by OpenSpace) to AI presentation tools used by over a million people a month. Before that, I helped multi-nationals figure out where to play and how to win in the digital economy.

I know how to get actual impact with AI. I also know most people struggle to put it all together. You don't need engineers or six-figure consulting budgets to access it. But a single product isn't going to cut it either.

Schmitdy is the expertise I wish my customers had, the ones trying to win AI search on top of their day jobs. Fixed prices. Results in days, not quarters.

I don't just design these systems. I run my own business on them. Every day. The same AI infrastructure I build for clients is what runs my operations, my content, my sales pipeline. When I tell you what works, it's not theoretical, I have the receipts.
