AI Agency Leek
Leek is known for the Nienoord estate, but economically the village runs on its business parks right beside the A7. That is where we help SMEs with AI.
Why now, and why here
At Leeksterhout and Bedrijvenpark Leeksterveld along the A7 sit hundreds of companies, from services and offices to light industry. Good access, plenty of activity and plenty of processes still done by hand.
We start with your process, not with the technology. First look at where the time gets stuck, then decide where AI genuinely delivers. With a fixed price agreed in advance.

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.
Orders and stock for a wholesaler or installation firm
A company on Leeksterveld processes orders that come in by email and through portals. An AI assistant reads the order, matches the right items and gets it ready in the system. The office team checks it and books it off.
That saves retyping and stock errors. The human stays in charge: every order is reviewed before it is final.
This is an example of what we can build for you, not an existing product.

On the wooded estate with the manor house. Suitable for meetings and gatherings, a quiet spot just outside the bustle.
Close by, from Groningen
Leek lies about fifteen kilometres west of the city, and along the A7 we are there in no time. We come on site or meet at a room nearby.

Frequently asked questions
Do you also work for companies on Leeksterhout or Leeksterveld?
Yes, that is exactly our target group. We come to the estate, or you come to a room nearby.
What does an AI project cost?
We work with fixed prices. You know in advance what you get and what it costs, with no open ends.
Will you take over the work from my people?
No. We build AI that helps your team, with a human who checks. Humans-in-the-loop is our starting point.
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.
