Sound familiar?

Good ideas die in the gap

  • Ideas without evidence

    Strong opinions in the meeting room, little data from the people who would actually buy.

  • A product nobody asked for

    Months of development on features users don’t need, discovered after launch.

  • Growth has stalled

    The current market is saturated and nobody has mapped where the next one is.

  • Invisible in search and AI answers

    Buyers ask Google and ChatGPT for a supplier, and your competitors are the ones named.

What we do

How we work

The double diamond, done properly

Two rounds of opening up and narrowing down: first on the problem, then on the solution.

  1. Discover

    Research users, markets and competitors with an open mind, and collect evidence rather than opinions.

  2. Define

    Turn the evidence into a sharp problem statement and the opportunity worth pursuing.

  3. Develop

    Generate and prototype solutions, then test them with real users in short cycles.

  4. Deliver

    Launch the winner as an MVP, measure it, and plan how to make it visible in search and AI answers.

Why Onesight

One accountable partner, since 2014

  • One accountable partner

    Strategy, engineering, security, automation and design under one roof since 2014, so nothing falls between vendors and one team answers for the result.

  • We run what we build

    Adam, our autonomous sales agent, and WBlow, our EU whistleblowing platform, are our own products in production. Client work gets the same standard.

  • Engineering discipline, everywhere

    Code review, automated tests, security and performance budgets are part of every engagement, not an upsell. What we hand over is documented and maintainable.

  • European contracts, three languages

    EU clients contract with GoLittle (VAT IT13053300961) under Italian law. Our teams work in English, Italian and Portuguese, across Italy, the EU and Brazil.

FAQ

Innovation Lab: questions, answered

What is design thinking?

Design thinking is a problem-solving method that starts from the people you serve: research their needs, define the real problem, generate and prototype solutions, and test them with users before investing in development.

What is GEO (generative engine optimisation)?

GEO, also called AEO (answer engine optimisation), is the practice of making a company easy for AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews to understand, trust and cite. It combines structured data, clear answer-first content, machine-readable files such as llms.txt and mentions on the third-party sites those assistants read.

Is SEO still worth it with AI search?

Yes. AI assistants draw on search indexes and the pages that rank in them, so technical SEO and helpful content remain the foundation. What changes is the format: content needs direct answers, structured data and evidence that AI systems can quote.

How long does product discovery take?

A focused discovery sprint takes a few weeks; larger programmes run in phases with a decision point at the end of each, so you only invest further when the evidence supports it.

Can you help us enter the Italian or Brazilian market?

Yes. We research the market, competitors and buyers, adapt positioning and search strategy to the local language, and connect the go-to-market plan to the product and engineering work. We work in English, Italian and Portuguese.

Do you also build what you design?

Yes. Prototypes and MVPs are built by our engineering teams, so validated ideas move to production without a hand-off to another vendor.
