AI advice from builders,
not from slides

Everyone talks about AI. We run it: agents that handle tickets, follow up email and manage servers, in production every day. We bring that experience to your business: what works, what doesn't, and where to start. From Groningen, the Netherlands, for clients near and far.

Curious what AI
can do for your business?

Enter your number and Maarten will call you within one working day. In a short conversation we go through where you and your team lose time, and whether AI can help with that. An honest answer straight away: sometimes that's "yes, and here's how", sometimes "not just yet".

If we see opportunities, a no-obligation quick scan follows: we look into your processes and you get a prioritised list of opportunities with honest costs per step. Only then do you decide whether to continue. Prefer to email or schedule a time yourself? You can via /en/contact.

We advise on what we
run ourselves every day

Our own business runs on the systems we advise on. Agents triage our helpdesk tickets, follow up incoming email, watch servers and manage hundreds of domains. Not as an experiment, but as a permanent part of daily operations.

That's how we know where AI adds value straight away and where it doesn't work (yet). You won't get a report from us that disappears into a drawer, but a concrete plan with things you can build, and that we can build for you if you like.

#// what_we_do

From first scan
to running system

For us, consultancy isn't the end goal but a starting point. We look at where AI fits in your business, make it concrete and can then build and manage it ourselves too.

01 / 04scan

AI quick scan

We walk through your business processes and map where AI saves time or money straight away. Concrete, prioritised and with an honest estimate of what it costs.

02 / 04advice

Advice and roadmap

Which tooling fits you, what you do yourself and what you outsource, and in which order to tackle it. Backed by what we see working in practice.

03 / 04build

Implementation

We build it too: agents, automations and integrations with your existing systems. From first pilot to a system running in production, with management included if you want.

04 / 04team

Training and adoption

Teaching your team to work with AI instead of next to it: practical sessions around your own work, from prompts to handling company data safely.

#// expertise

Software we
know inside out

Good AI advice requires knowledge of the systems it has to connect to. We come from the hosting and web world and manage servers, sites and databases ourselves. Connecting AI to an existing system isn't theory for us.

Tool-agnostic: we recommend what fits your situation, not whatever happens to be on our shelf.

#// frequently_asked_questions

Frequently asked questions

Do you only work in Groningen?

Our agency is based in Groningen, the Netherlands, and many of our clients are in the north of the country. But agents and automation run online, so we work just as easily for businesses elsewhere in the Netherlands and abroad. We can meet at your location or over a video call.

What kind of businesses is AI consultancy useful for?

Mainly small and mid-sized businesses with repetitive work: lots of email or tickets, admin that gets retyped, checks people do from memory. Our clients come from hosting, staffing, rentals and e-commerce, but the pattern is the same everywhere.

What does an AI project cost?

The introduction and the quick scan come with no obligation: afterwards you know exactly what the opportunities are and what each step costs, before you commit to anything. The meter only starts running once you decide to build. We deliberately start small, with a first pilot running within weeks.

How does the callback request work?

You leave your name, company, number and topic, and Maarten calls you within one working day for a short introduction. No call script, no account manager, and your details aren't used for anything else.

What happens to our company data?

We're strict about that. For each tool we look at where your data goes, choose EU hosting wherever possible (including on our own servers) and record what an agent may and may not do. Sensitive actions always go past a human.
