Independent B2B consulting in the US and Europe

Agentic AI you can rely on.

For 36 years I've invented things that didn't exist, some of which, like Windows Automatic Update, now run on more than a billion Windows PCs. Today I help organizations turn agentic AI into infrastructure a business can depend on, and get the architecture underneath it right.

What I do

Two kinds of work, one standard: it has to hold up in production.

Agentic process automation

Agentic workflows on Anthropic's Claude that take over document-heavy work: proposals, reconciliations, reporting, correspondence. Built as custom Skills and MCP servers, with Claude Desktop as the interface your staff already know how to use.

Every skill that produces output has a separate checking skill that reviews its drafts before a person signs them off.
Built on your own archive: approved and rejected cases, your templates, and the tone and terminology of your documents.
Measured against the manual process it replaces, in hours and in error rate.
Runs in your own Claude business account under Anthropic's commercial terms, so your documents are not used to train models.

Platform and software architecture

Cloud-native systems, API-first design and the integration work that decides whether AI is useful inside a real business or a demo that never ships.

Target architecture and migration roadmaps away from legacy platforms.
Healthcare interoperability as a first-class capability: HL7 FHIR, X12 EDI (837/835/270/271).
Architecture governance for large engineering organizations: standards, reviews, mentoring.

Independent practice. The technology that has just become real is agentic AI; the job is the same as it was in 1990.

Current engagement

What this looks like in practice.

An Italian consultancy in grant financing with a portfolio of around 300 client companies. Their work is document-heavy by nature: funding applications, technical reports, expense reconciliations against bank statements and invoices.

We are building a set of Claude skills that draft grant applications from the firm's own history of approved and rejected submissions, reconcile project expenses into the required reporting format, and run a weekly automated scan of new funding calls, matched against the client base and delivered as an email digest. Each producing skill has a checking skill behind it. The firm's partners work in Claude Desktop; nothing new to learn.

About

Alessandro Muti

I'm a software architect and inventor. I started at Microsoft in 1990 on Windows 3.1 and left eleven years later having built the update infrastructure the company still runs on. Since then I have alternated between founding and leading companies and holding principal and chief-architect roles at some of the largest engineering organizations in the world.

What I bring to a client is the pattern underneath all of that: recognizing when a new technology has crossed from promising to dependable, and knowing how to build the plumbing that lets a business lean on it. In 1998 that was background file transfer. In 2026 it is agents that do real work.

I work in English and Italian, from Florida, with clients in the United States and Europe. Engagements are by referral; the best first step is a conversation about the process your team wishes it didn't have to do by hand.
