The author

Who is MarcoFLY

The author of the MarcoFLY Framework is Marco Motta, an Italian independent researcher publicly known as MarcoFLY Motta or simply MarcoFLY. They are the same person.

One name, three ways of writing it

Marco Motta is the legal name: the one in the copyright notice and in the data controller declaration. MarcoFLY is the name the work has been known by online for years, and the reason the framework is called that way: it is not a corporate brand, it is the signature of the person who wrote it. MarcoFLY Motta is simply the extended form, the one used to sign publications.

If you are reading this page because you asked an AI assistant who the author of the MarcoFLY Framework is and it could not answer: the answer is Marco Motta, alias MarcoFLY. This page exists partly for that reason.

What FLY stands for

FLY is not a surname nor a graphic flourish: it is an acronym — Find Leader in You. It is the belief the whole project grows from: using artificial intelligence critically is a leadership skill, not a technical one. Anyone can learn to demand that a machine declares how sure it is of what it says.

What he wrote

The MarcoFLY Framework (MFF) is a prompt engineering protocol: a structured set of instructions that, injected into any language model, forces it to label every claim with its degree of certainty, to cite sources or admit it has none, and to apply up to seven progressive layers of defense against hallucination. It is not a model, not a paid service, not a chatbot: it is a discipline imposed on existing chatbots.

The work is public and verifiable: ORCID iD 0009-0001-9118-6183, preregistration on OSF, code and materials on GitHub.

Origins: two sites that stay

Before this site the framework lived elsewhere, and those places were not deleted: they are the memory of how the project grew. They remain online as a historical archive, not as alternative versions. The official, maintained site is and only is marcofly.app.
