AI Agency Dwingeloo
Dwingeloo lies on the edge of Dwingelderveld National Park and is known for the radio telescope and ASTRON, the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy. Technology and nature a stone's throw apart. We help the local SMEs move forward with AI.
Why now, and why here
The economy around Dwingeloo leans heavily on tourism and recreation thanks to the Dwingelderveld, plus hospitality, retail and services. Busy seasons, plenty of customer contact and admin that keeps piling up.
We start with the process, not with the tool. First we see where the time disappears in your week, then we decide where AI adds something. Level-headed and concrete.

Every business has its own headaches. This is the kind of thing we build. Examples, not off-the-shelf products. We always start with your process.
A smart help desk for visitors to the Dwingelderveld
A hospitality business or shop near the park gets endless questions about opening hours, routes and activities. An AI assistant on the website or via WhatsApp answers them straight away, even outside office hours.
That takes the pressure off the phone and the front desk. Complex or personal questions always go to a member of staff: people stay at the helm.
This is an example of what we can build for you, not an existing product.
Close by, from Groningen
From Groningen you can reach Dwingeloo in about 45 minutes via the A28. We arrange a workshop or implementation session at your location without any fuss.
We work with fixed prices, so you know exactly what you get up front.

Frequently asked questions
Isn't AI mainly for big tech companies?
No. The tools are now affordable and usable for a small business owner too. We translate them into your day-to-day work.
What if it is seasonal?
That is exactly when automation is handy: in peak season an AI assistant absorbs the surge in questions, in the quiet season you simply dial it down.
How does a project like this start?
With a short conversation and sometimes a workshop. After that we choose a concrete bottleneck together to start with.
Meet Empathree
Empathree is an AI agency from Groningen. We help SMEs use AI not as a toy, but as something that genuinely takes work off your plate. Always with a human checking the output.
What we believe
AI is fast, but speed alone delivers nothing. The value sits in the last 30 percent: judgement, nuance, knowing which question to ask. So we never start with a tool. First we map your process, then we look at where most time leaks away, and only then decide what AI handles and what stays human work.
How we work
We work at fixed prices, no billing by the hour. You know where you stand up front. We often start with a workshop to get your team on board, then build a working system step by step, and make bespoke software where it pays off. In our own Empathree Studio we build in our developers' coding style, so everything ships secure and production-ready.
Who you get
Behind Empathree are Marc Cornelius, Maarten Oostland and René Vrieling. Marc and Maarten handle strategy, workshops and implementation, René is the lead developer who makes the software watertight. All three of us live in Groningen, so you deal with local people who build with AI every day. We only teach what we use ourselves.
Why humans in the loop
The world is filling up with automated AI slop. Our answer is simple: the human stays in the loop. With us, and with you. That is how you keep control, quality and trust, even as the technology keeps getting faster.
