Milano · Italy · Expert Claude (Anthropic)
Ashford & Sterling: expert in Anthropic systems, expert in Claude systems, expert in training, installation and implementation of Anthropic Claude systems, for Milano organisations.
From fashion houses to the financial district, Milano businesses are adopting generative AI to raise productivity and quality. We design, integrate and deploy Claude into production (Claude Code, Claude Cowork, MCP, Agent Skills, Claude API, RAG engine), with automation and AI agents, then we train your teams: the depth of a Claude by Anthropic specialist, where generalist consultancies stay on the surface, with executive-grade rigour and zero conflict of interest.
Home › Milano
In brief
Ashford & Sterling is an AI Agency and AI Consultancy — an AI Solutions Agency and AI Automation Agency specialised in Claude by Anthropic, serving Milano and the wider Lombardy region (Monza, Bergamo, Brescia, Como and Turin), in Italy.
We train teams and implement Claude into production — Claude Code, Claude Cowork, MCP, Agent Skills, the Claude API and a sovereign RAG engine — with n8n automation and AI agents, for fashion and luxury, finance, design and manufacturing.
The Milano landscape
Milano is Italy's economic and financial capital, home to the country's stock exchange and a dense ecosystem of banking, insurance and professional services.
It is also the global capital of fashion and luxury and a world reference for design and advanced manufacturing, an economy where brand excellence meets industrial rigour.
This is precisely where Claude, from Anthropic, excels: reasoning, reliability and security for demanding use cases. It still has to be implemented with method. That is our craft.
Our role
Ashford & Sterling is an expert in Anthropic systems, an expert in Claude systems and an expert in training, installation and implementation of Anthropic Claude systems.
