In 2024 Morvillo developed Cucinalo, an app that suggests recipes based on ingredients photographed or entered by the user, using computer-vision and language-model technologies.[2][3] The app was released on 27 December 2024 under the label “Matech Studio”.[2]

Ristruttura3D (2025)

In July 2025 Morvillo launched Ristruttura3D, a mobile application that allows users to design and visualise home-remodelling projects in real time via 3D modelling and augmented reality.[4][5] According to **Il Roma**, the tool “brings the building site inside the smartphone,” letting homeowners preview materials and layouts before starting construction.[4] La Repubblica – Napoli described it as “a new digital front-end for Italy’s renovation boom.”[5]
