About us

A colony that innovates
Anthilla comes from Ant Hill: like an anthill, every individual matters, but it's the collective that generates the vision. A colony that innovates, a network that builds.

Independent reality
Anthilla Srl is an independent company that designs modular, free and resilient IT solutions built to last. We combine technical expertise, critical thinking and systems vision to solve complex problems with intelligence and simplicity.

Our approach
We don't sell products, we build solutions. We don't chase the market, we anticipate it. We don't delegate responsibility, we share it. We use AI with judgment, not for fashion: technology at the service of context, never the other way around.

In brief
Anthilla Srl builds custom software systems: since 2022 working on mnemonic cognitive prompt framework (multilevel prompting and multilevel context), self-hosted management software (FLUX), fog/edge infrastructure, AI knowledge base. Based in Pregnana Milanese (MI), Italy. Independent, open source, self-funded.
Some of the things we do, including internal research and development

Mnemonic cognitive prompt framework
Since 2022 we have been working on mnemonic cognitive prompt framework and on the logic of multilevel prompting and multilevel context. The goal is to make AI coherent in real work, without confabulation: a cognitive framework that lives in memory inside any model, does not lock you to a vendor, is not a subscription service. Long sessions sustained, cognitive biases prevented, coherence between tools and actions maintained.

FLUX — a management system you truly own
A management system that can run anywhere you want: on your servers, on ours, in the cloud, anywhere. Contacts, activities, events, deadlines, history: all under your control. No per-user subscription, no lock-in.

Fog/edge infrastructure
Webserver, firewall, threat management, monitoring. Self-hosted, resilient, independent from cloud providers. Your data stays on your servers.

AIKB — AI-powered knowledge base
AI-powered knowledge base to organize and query technical documentation and company know-how. Cross-AI, peer-to-peer, with cryptographic authentication.

What it means for your business
The systems we build are yours: you can modify, extend, and move them. No per-user subscription, no dependency on external platforms. Your data stays on your servers.

Explained simply
Imagine having a management system that doesn't cost you every month per user, that can run anywhere you want, and that you can modify whenever you want. That's what we build. We don't sell a product: we build the solution you need.
Our story

Founded 2013
Anthilla Srl was founded in 2013, giving corporate form to a journey rooted in the IT experience of its people since the early 2000s. A choice of independence: no vendor lock-in, no black boxes, real control of infrastructure, data and processes.

Experience since 2001
The technical skills that converge into Anthilla today matured from 2001 in the IT sector: infrastructure, security, software development and, in recent years, local artificial intelligence. A heritage of method built in the field, project after project.

Since 2022: mnemonic cognitive prompt framework
In 2022 we started research on mnemonic cognitive prompt framework and the logic of multilevel prompting and multilevel context. A line of work that today we apply daily to sustain long sessions, prevent cognitive biases and maintain coherence between tools and actions. It positions us among the European pioneers of structured prompt engineering.
Values

Technological independence
No vendor lock-in: we choose open tools and architectures that remain under the control of those who use them.

Modularity
Components that adapt and grow: we start from what's needed and scale with criteria, without rewriting everything every time.

Resilience
Systems designed to resist and recover: operational continuity even when something goes wrong.

Transparency
Open code and visible processes: those who work with us understand what happens and why.

Sustainability
Solutions that last over time: less waste, fewer recurring costs out of control, more value in the long run.
How we work

First the problem, then the solution
We don't start from the product, but from the need. First we listen, then we evaluate if we know how to do what's needed, and only then do we propose a solution. If it's not our field, we say so.

Open source, standards, independence
The technologies we use are open, standard and independent from commercial licenses. What we build for you is yours: you can modify it, extend it, move it. You are not tied to us.
What we are NOT

We are not a web agency
We don't do standard websites or e-commerce. We build infrastructure and management systems.

We are not a traditional system integrator
We don't implement SAP, Salesforce or Dynamics. We build open solutions, independent from large vendors.

We are not a startup seeking funding
We are an independent Srl, funded by our own revenue. We grow organically.

We don't promise AI that solves everything
We use AI where it makes sense (knowledge base, automation), but we don't pass it off as a universal solution.
Team and ecosystem

A network of skills
Anthilla is led by Ivan Dorna and operates as a network of skills, not as an anonymous box. Infrastructure, cybersecurity, software development, local AI and strategic consulting are supported by the most suitable person for each project.

Collaborations
We work in collaboration with selected partners, including Luca Tomassi for communication and strategic lead generation and the Scighera ecosystem for the management and platform side. A real network of people and skills, not inflated numbers.

You are an IT manager
You want to understand if our solutions are technically sound. The stack is open, standard and documented. The systems run in production on our servers for years. You can see the details in the tech schema above.

You are an investor or potential partner
We are an independent Srl, funded by our own revenue. We are not seeking funding, but we evaluate strategic collaborations where there is a real complement of skills.

You are a collaborator or professional
We work with people who do their job well and who share the approach: first the problem, then the solution. If you recognize yourself in this way of working, write to us through the contacts page.
