Pensiero Laterale
Assistant with cited sources
Free
Pensiero Laterale is the native assistant for iPhone, iPad and Mac that answers your questions about Luigi Caltarossa's IT consulting services, with clear answers always backed by the sources they come from.
It is not a generic chatbot that makes things up. Every answer is grounded in the real documentation of pensierolaterale.tech: the app searches for the most relevant documents, selects them, and builds the answer from that basis only. You can always tap "sources" and see exactly where each piece of information comes from.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Ask questions in Italian or English about services, skills and ways of working
• Read the answer as it is written, in real time
• Open the cited sources: the exact document and section used to answer
• See how the assistant selects the most relevant information, in the clear
• Tap the links in answers to learn more on the website
FEATURES
• Universal app: iPhone, iPad and Mac (with sidebar on iPad and Mac, full-screen chat on iPhone)
• Conversation history stored on the device, available offline
• Resume a previous conversation and continue it
• Share a conversation via the share sheet
• "Hey Siri, ask Pensiero Laterale…" opens the app with the question ready
• Adaptive light/dark interface

HOW YOUR DATA IS HANDLED
The questions you type are sent to the Pensiero Laterale backend (api.pensierolaterale.tech) and processed there by the Google Gemini model to generate the answer. Conversations are stored only on your device. No account is required, there is no advertising tracking and no third-party analytics SDK. See the privacy policy for details on Gemini processing.
Pensiero Laterale is an independent project by Luigi Caltarossa. Google and Gemini are trademarks of Google LLC; this app is not affiliated with or endorsed by Google.
