AI Agency Eelde
Eelde-Paterswolde sits strategically between Groningen and Assen, with Groningen Airport Eelde, its own business park and a long horticultural tradition. We help entrepreneurs here put AI to practical use.
Why now, and why here
Eelde-Paterswolde combines an airport with a high-quality business park and internationally operating companies, on the A28 between Groningen and Assen. On top of that there's the historic horticulture and landscaping tradition, and plenty of services around the Paterswoldsemeer lake.
We start with the process, not the tool. First we look at where time disappears in your working day, then we build something that fits. A fixed price, clearly defined.

Read moreExamples of what we build
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.
Sort quote requests intelligently for a service provider
A business on the park by the airport receives enquiries by email, contact form and phone. An AI assistant reads each enquiry, works out what it's about, links the right template and prepares a draft reply for the right member of staff.
Enquiries no longer get left and everyone knows what's going on. The staff member checks the draft and only sends it after approval. AI does the pre-sorting, the human decides.
This is an example of what we can build for you, not an existing product.

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.
