Who's behind Skuto
One person, so far. Hi, I'm Francesco.
Francesco Romanello
Founder — builds and verifies every tool
I'm Francesco Romanello. Skuto is my one-person project: free tools, in several languages, that help you use AI without getting burned. I'm not a lawyer or a professor. I'm a builder who reads the source documents so you don't have to.
Why this exists: AI arrived on everyone's phone, desk and kid's school, and almost nobody got instructions. Nobody explained which switch keeps your data private, or which paid plan is actually worth it for how you work. Skuto is the friend who shows you: plain words, real sources, no panic.
What Skuto is
Skuto is a free set of tools that help you use AI properly, in your language.
Every tool is free and works the moment you open it: no signup, no email wall, no "unlock your result". The method behind every verdict is public: How we test.
How it's funded
Straight answer: when a tool's result points to a product or a plan, some of those links are affiliate links. If you sign up through one, Skuto may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. It's disclosed right where it appears, and it never changes a verdict. Verdicts come from the method, not from the payout. Down the road there may be optional memberships (alerts when a vendor changes its terms, for example). Anything that's free today stays free.
Say hi
You'll find me on LinkedIn. Questions, corrections, "this verdict looks outdated" are all welcome. Corrections especially: the whole site depends on getting things right.
