About

What is Fresco?

Fresco is an AI decision engine designed to be the 'thinking layer' for product teams, challenging the common approach of building faster without proper direction. It offers a structured framework across four 'houses'—Investigate, Innovate, Validate, and Evaluate—to guide product decisions. Users answer specific questions about their situation, and a sequence of specialist AI agents analyzes observations, interrogates assumptions, and synthesizes a position. The tool then provides a clear verdict (GO, PIVOT, STOP, or NEEDS MORE SIGNAL) along with key issues, recommended moves, and a detailed systems analysis, including iceberg analysis and causal loops. Fresco also offers a Chrome extension for real-time site intelligence, allowing teams to evaluate pages, compare versions, and trace user journeys directly in their browser.

FAQs

What are the 'four houses' in Fresco?

Fresco organizes its decision-making process into four 'houses': Investigate (define problem-solution fit), Innovate (design for product-market fit), Validate (test commercial viability), and Evaluate (diagnose performance reality). Each house is designed for a specific stage of the product decision cycle.

What kind of verdict does Fresco provide?

Fresco delivers a clear verdict: GO (proceed with confidence), PIVOT (change direction), STOP (do not proceed), or NEEDS MORE SIGNAL (gather more information). Each verdict is accompanied by a sentence of truth, key issues, recommended moves, and a full systems analysis.

Does Fresco offer a free plan?

Yes, Fresco offers a free plan that includes 3 house runs and 3 plugin evaluations per month, along with access to all four houses and 12 agents. No credit card is required to start, making it suitable for individuals exploring structured thinking.

What does the Fresco Evaluate Chrome extension do?

The Fresco Evaluate Chrome extension provides real-time site intelligence directly in your browser. It allows you to evaluate any page for clarity, trust, friction, and CTA effectiveness, compare different versions of a page, and trace user journeys to identify drop-off points.
