AI Agency Norg
Norg is a beautifully preserved green village in Noordenveld, with plenty of campsites and holiday cottages around the Langeloërduinen and Oosterduinen. Tourism and recreation make up a sizeable part of the local economy here.
Why now, and why here
Norg largely lives on recreation: campsites, rentals and the hospitality and shops around the village green. A sector with seasonal peaks and plenty of customer contact, where a quick and personal response makes the difference between a booking and no booking.
We start with your process, not with a tool. First we look at where time leaks away in enquiries, planning or admin, then we decide whether AI fits. Level-headed and without fuss.

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.
Rentals and enquiries without the manual work
Say a holiday cottage landlord or campsite still manages bookings, questions and cleaning schedules largely by hand. An AI layer catches enquiries, checks availability and prepares the schedule.
That saves evening hours of email and phone calls and prevents double bookings. The owner stays in control: confirmations and exceptions always go past a person.
This is an example of what we can build for you, not an existing product.
Close by, from Groningen
Norg is only about 30 kilometres from Groningen, roughly half an hour's drive. We can easily come over for a session on site, including outside office hours if that works better.
Fixed prices, short lines and an approach that suits the way you work.

Frequently asked questions
Is AI worthwhile for a small recreation business too?
Yes. Following up on enquiries takes a lot of time in rentals and recreation in particular. A few saved hours a week count straight away there.
We mainly work with regular guests, does this still fit?
Certainly. AI takes over the routine work, so you have more time left for the personal contact that keeps regular guests coming back.
How does a project like this start?
With a session on site where we look at your work. After that we propose a concrete first step, at a fixed price.
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.
