Lately, that has meant focusing on open-source AI tools and self-hosted software that anyone can use and improve.\n\nMy latest project is Radar, an open-source AI-powered social listening platform built around the idea that powerful analytics shouldn’t be locked behind expensive enterprise subscriptions. It’s still evolving, and I’m looking forward to learning from the community, sharing progress, and getting honest feedback.\n\nExcited to connect with fellow builders, exchange ideas, and discover what everyone is working on.\n\nHappy coding! 🚀\n\n**Open-source media intelligence & social listening** — an alternative to enterprise\nplatforms like Talkwalker or Brandwatch, built on free data sources and Claude AI\nSelf-hostable, bring-your-own-keys, runs locally with zero configuration.\n\nThe user interface and AI outputs are in English. Full internationalization (i18n) for additional languages is on the roadmap and contributions are very welcome.\n\nEnterprise listening tools cost thousands per month. Radar gives a single person or a\nsmall team the same core workflow — **listen, analyze, decide, create** — using public\ndata sources and the Claude API, for the price of an API key (or nothing at all if you\njust want to collect data).", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/from-art-to-open-source-ai", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/massimoscognamiglio1/from-art-to-open-source-ai-9a", "published_at": "2026-07-11 15:05:59+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-11 15:44:36.204410+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-tools", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["Massimo", "Radar", "Claude AI", "Talkwalker", "Brandwatch"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/from-art-to-open-source-ai", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/from-art-to-open-source-ai.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/from-art-to-open-source-ai.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/from-art-to-open-source-ai.jsonld"}}
