AI Agency Leeuwarden
Leeuwarden has the largest financial and business services sector in the north of the Netherlands, with offices such as Achmea, the CJIB and De Friesland. It is all about processes here, and that is exactly where AI delivers the most.
Why now, and why here
There is a broad economy around Leeuwarden: financial and business services, water (WaterCampus), dairy (Dairy Campus) and a lot of government. Much of that work is locked up in documents, applications and admin. Exactly the kind of work where AI gives you back hours.
We do not start with a tool, but with your process. First we look at where time leaks away, and only then do we build. Fixed price, no surprises afterwards.

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.
Preparing quote requests automatically for a business services firm
An incoming request by email is read automatically: customer details pulled out, the right text blocks added, a draft quote set up in your own house style.
That saves you half a day of typing a week. The quote never goes out automatically: a member of staff checks it and sends it. Human decides, AI does the groundwork.
This is an example of what we can build for you, not an existing product.

Frequently asked questions
Do you also work for smaller offices in Leeuwarden?
Yes. We focus on SMEs, from a handful of staff up to a hundred. Especially with smaller teams, a good process quickly frees up time.
Do we already need to be working with AI?
No. Most clients know AI could deliver something, but not what or how. That is where we start together, no prior knowledge needed.
What does a project cost?
We work with fixed prices. After a first conversation you know exactly what you get and what it costs, with no after-the-fact billing.
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.
