Con l’app IO interagisci in modo semplice e sicuro con diverse Pubbliche Amministrazioni italiane, sia locali che nazionali. Puoi accedere a tutti i loro servizi, ricevere comunicazioni e gestire i pagamenti, in un'unica app. In particolare, tramite IO puoi: - aggiungere i tuoi documenti personali al Portafoglio dell’app per averli in versione digitale e sempre con te, sul tuo dispositivo; - ricevere messaggi e comunicazioni rilevanti dagli enti pubblici, incluse quelle a valore legale; - ricordare e gestire le tue scadenze verso la Pubblica Amministrazione; - pagare qualsiasi avviso pagoPA, inquadrando il codice QR o a partire da un messaggio ricevuto in app; - scaricare le tue ricevute pagoPA, anche se non hai pagato tramite l’app. Per iniziare con IO, accedi all’app con le tue credenziali SPID o, in alternativa, con la tua Carta d’Identità Elettronica (CIE) o l’app CieID. Dopo il primo accesso, potrai accedere ancora più velocemente digitando un PIN che hai scelto o tramite riconoscimento biometrico (impronta digitale o riconoscimento del volto), mantenendo un'autenticazione sicura. IO è un’app che evolve giorno dopo giorno, anche grazie ai tuoi feedback: se nell'utilizzarla noti qualcosa che non funziona come dovrebbe o che pensi possa essere migliorata, puoi segnalarlo con funzionalità dedicate presenti in app. Dichiarazione di accessibilità: https://form.agid.gov.it/view/0125cff0-97b7-11f0-b1d3-cb68959f3505
Petlore

Do you remember when Luna last had her flea treatment? How much she weighed in spring? What upset her stomach last summer? Petlore does. Petlore is the AI assistant that knows your pet better than you do. You talk to it the way you'd talk to a friend who knows animals, and it remembers everything: weight, allergies, quirks, small ailments, habits. It's not a generic assistant — it knows YOUR dog or YOUR cat, and every answer is written for them. WHAT YOU CAN ASK IT "Can Milo eat grapes?" — ask anything and get an answer that accounts for Milo's breed, weight and allergies. Not a copy-paste from a forum. "Luna threw up after lunch today." — tell it what happened and Petlore adds it to the health timeline. No forms to fill in. Never miss a due date again — flea treatment, vaccines, deworming, grooming: a reminder arrives at the right moment. Always know when the food runs out — Petlore keeps count and warns you before the bag is empty. One tap before the vet — generate a report with weight, events and allergies in chronological order, ready to show at the clinic. WHY IT ISN'T "JUST ANOTHER APP" Other apps ask you to fill in forms. Petlore learns by listening to you. And unlike a quick online search, it doesn't give you generic answers: it knows your pet's history. The more you talk to it, the more useful it becomes — and it remembers what you forget. LUNA'S DATA STAYS LUNA'S Your pet's profile is saved on your device and is never stored on our servers. To generate answers it is sent, encrypted in transit, to the AI model: no health records kept by us, no data sold to third parties. You can delete your account and data anytime from the settings. ONE HONEST THING Petlore is not a vet and does not make diagnoses. It helps you care for your pet every day and arrive prepared at appointments. For any serious health concern, always consult your veterinarian. PLANS FREE — Try Petlore with a few questions a day and see what it's like having it on your side.
