AI Agency Gieten
Gieten sits at the junction of the N33 and N34, the Hunebed Highway. A logistics pivot point with a public transport hub and plenty of through traffic. Easy to reach, and you can tell from how busy it is.
Why now, and why here
Gieten benefits from its location: the N33/N34 junction and the bus hub make the village easy to reach for customers, staff and suppliers. Around a junction like this you find plenty of trade, services and recreation along the Hunebed Highway.
We start with your process, not with a tool. First we look at where time leaks away in quotes, planning or customer contact, then we decide whether AI fits. Level-headed and measurable.

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.
Handling enquiries and appointments automatically
Say a service or recreation business gets enquiries by email, form and phone. An AI layer answers standard questions, books appointments and passes complex matters to the right person.
That means faster responses and fewer missed enquiries, even outside office hours. Anything out of the ordinary or sensitive goes to a member of staff, so the customer still has a person in front of them.
This is an example of what we can build for you, not an existing product.

Frequently asked questions
We are a small business, isn't AI too big for us?
No. Smaller businesses in particular see results quickly, because a few saved hours a week count straight away. We start small and concrete.
Will AI replace our people?
No. We build AI that takes over the dull work so your team has time left for customers. Decisions stay with people.
How quickly can we start?
After a first session on site we know where the gains are. A first working step is usually ready within a few weeks.
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.
