Mauro Sandrini
Nobody makes it alone.
We always make it together.
I build and run systems of AI agents, and I teach people to work with them. With agents, the distance between an idea and a working solution keeps shrinking. Several models share the work: one directs, others carry out the tasks, and models from competing vendors challenge the result. The rule stays the same everywhere: agents do the work that can be checked, people keep the decisions, and nothing is published or sent without a human yes.

What does Mauro Sandrini build with AI agents?
A working environment where several AI models do real work together: research, teaching materials, websites, small apps for the classroom. I call it the banco, Italian for workbench. It is a private git repository, because it holds real work in progress. The method is public, and it is all written down: how the work is split among models, how every output is checked, how agents are kept inside clear limits, how the spend is measured. How I build and run multi-agent systems
What do I do?
- I build. Multi-agent systems on Claude Code, with models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and others; Python tools that run every day; small apps for school, such as an AAC board maker and a classroom whiteboard, open source on GitHub. I learn from practitioner communities on X and Discord, where studies and new techniques often surface before they are published, and try them on my own work straight away.
- I teach. What people often lack with AI is not the tool but abstraction: seeing their own process clearly enough to design a solution an agent can build. That is what I teach. I also teach mathematics, and I train teachers in Ministry-accredited courses and EU-funded (PNRR) projects. Since 2024 I have offered my course for schools, Il Dialogo Incorpo: IA ed Empatia (AI and empathy, in Italian), through a training agency accredited by the Italian Ministry of Education. I facilitate online sessions with the Clean Language method, which I trained in with Judy Rees.
- I work side by side. I do not sell turnkey solutions. I like working with people and organisations that want to grow: when they grow, I learn, and what I learn is worth more to me than the fee. What excites me is where this leads: organisations that integrate AI well beyond writing emails can compete fiercely and ethically at the same time, with every employee and manager able to handle the pace of change and the workload without burning out.
- I write. On AI, school and society for the blog of Il Fatto Quotidiano, and a newsletter read by over 8,000 teachers (both in Italian). Four books in Italian, the latest written with Ilaria Vaglini.
- I research. PhD in economic sociology (University of Teramo, 2005), with a chapter in The Economics of Information Security (Springer, 2004). Today, as an independent researcher with Ilaria Vaglini, on contemplative practices and neuroscience.
Why do people come before the machine?
Because in sensitive places an error does not stay on a screen: it reaches a student, a patient, a citizen. And because the biggest risk is not the machine getting it wrong, but us handing over listening, judgement and relationships. AI is worth using when it reduces fatigue and stress and gives back time, for work and for life: time to be with people, not a replacement for them. That is why safety is not a chapter at the end of my method: it is the method. Safe AI in schools, healthcare and public services
The book (in Italian)
Il dialogo incorpo
With Ilaria Vaglini, Homeless Book, 2024. The title plays on in corpo, ‘in the body’.
A practical method to keep natural, empathic intelligence alive while we use machines: listen to the body first, then to thoughts, and train critical thinking instead of handing it over.
