AI trainer and product builder. I help people and teams put AI to work on real tasks, and build custom tools when they need more. For clients in France and internationally, online, in English or French.
Background in learning design (Chief Learning Officer at MCR Groupe, 50+ training sessions), teaching at ESCP Business School, French law and court mediation — which is why I teach AI with the checks built in.
When I build, I 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. Offers and a free 30-minute call: lorenzocolombani.com. The work below is in the Showroom.
| Work | What it is | Live |
|---|---|---|
| The Workshop (in progress) | A portfolio you walk into: a real-time 3D pavilion over the ocean, where the work opens when you touch it. Three.js. Unfinished, and open anyway. | Case study |
| OpenBots Next (v1) | Claude as a team of named teammates you hire, brief and fence yourself — a native macOS app. Bots work in their own folders, search the web, run code, hand work to each other and use the Mac's apps; every consequential step waits on a card you approve. Your own Claude Pro or Max plan, no API key. Swift 6, MIT, free. | Repo · Video |
| Data Vault Foundations | A 14-chapter interactive learning platform on Data Vault 2.1 — architecture, SQL, dbt, EU compliance, Python — with quests, feedback and hands-on exercises. | Open |
| TVA Case File | A motion-and-typography case file in the language of the Loki title sequence: seven "deviations," one timeline, running in the browser. | Open |
| "AI, Applied." | 87 real-world AI use cases from 15 contributors, 94+ tools — convened the contributors and built the site for the Wharton Alumni AI Studio (an alumni nonprofit). Astro, React, GSAP. | Open |
| 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. | Open |
Also: SaberLab — an app for a lightsaber you can reprogram: see everything on it, remix it into a new sound font, write it to the hilt (not released; demo).

The tools I build with: my own Claude Code skills — among them a pipeline that turns a design book into a tested skill (Norman, Octalysis, the Laws of UX) — and Claude Code driven by voice, from a ring on my finger.
