AI Agency Ten Boer
Ten Boer is a residential village with growing business activity along the Rijksweg, including the extensive Dijkshorn business park. We help entrepreneurs here move forward with AI.
Why now, and why here
Ten Boer has been part of the municipality of Groningen since 2019. It is mainly a residential village, but along the Rijksweg a business zone has grown for small-scale, locally focused businesses, recently expanded with the Dijkshorn business park. Ondernemend Ten Boer gives those entrepreneurs a clear voice.
We start with your process, not with the technology. First we look at where things chafe, and only then do we decide where AI genuinely delivers something. Concrete and without hype.

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.
Faster customer follow-up at a local business on Dijkshorn
Think of a small-scale, locally focused business that gets requests via email, WhatsApp and phone. An AI assistant bundles them, makes a tidy summary and prepares a reply.
No request slips through the cracks and you respond faster than the competition. The entrepreneur checks every reply before it goes out. The AI does the sorting, the human decides.
This is an example of what we can build for you, not an existing product.

Frequently asked questions
Do you also work for the smaller businesses in Ten Boer?
Yes. The business zone here is aimed precisely at small-scale, local businesses, and that is exactly our target group. Starting small is perfectly fine.
What does an AI project cost?
We work with fixed prices that we agree in advance. No surprises, and after the first conversation you know exactly where you stand.
Do we need to understand AI?
No, that is our job. We translate it into your process and teach your team how to work with it.
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.
