Francesco Rulli

"There is nothing greater in life than empowering others to succeed. Artificial Intelligence is my tool of choice to help people achieve their personal aspirations."

Francesco Rulli, Founder, and CEO have leveraged a life-long interest in entrepreneurship, media, fashion, and technology. Previous enterprises include the John Malkovich fashion line, and Film Annex, an online film distribution company. The company promoted independent films with revenues generated through a custom ad server and player. The site hosted 300k independent films that reached up to 40 million viewers per month.

Other business ventures soon followed. BitLanders, a social media platform with 1 million registered users. Now an industry leader in gamification, BitLanders has several pending patents, including the content ranking system Buzz Score, and BitMiles, a rewarding system inspired by the Medici family’s double ledger accounting system.

Francesco is a board member of the GMRF, an organization which aids children who have lost the use of limbs or eyes or have been severely burned, injured due to war, natural disaster or illness. Francesco’s philanthropic efforts extend to Afghanistan, where he sponsored the construction of 13 classrooms, providing young women with the tools and opportunities of digital citizenship. This project led to the introduction of Bitcoin payments in 2013. Francesco has since cast his eye on Dubai, a city committed to becoming a leader in artificial intelligence.

In 2015, Francesco launched Querlo providing a robust environment for “conversational AI” and data performance analytics. Applying proprietary software, Francesco and his team developed tools to improve interactions between customers, employees, and brands. Today, the chatbots employ algorithms that mimic the neural connections of the human brain, a revolutionary development that promises to unify the arts and sciences with technology, long the dream of an Italian-American born and raised in Florence.
