AI Agency Uithuizen
Uithuizen is a village with a proper centre and a regional role: shops, care, farming businesses and tourism around the Menkemaborg. We help entrepreneurs here put AI to practical use, without any fuss.
Why now, and why here
The economy in and around Uithuizen runs on small and medium-sized businesses: retail along the Hoofdstraat, farming businesses on the Hogeland, care and recreation around the Menkemaborg. These are businesses with plenty of manual work in quotes, planning and admin: exactly the kind of work where AI frees up time.
We do not start with the tool but with the process. First we look at where you lose time, and only then do we decide whether AI helps and which kind. That way you build something that keeps working instead of an expensive gadget.

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.
Automated quotes for an agricultural contractor
A request comes in by email or phone. Instead of building every quote by hand, an AI assistant fills in a draft quote based on your fixed rates and job types, ready for you to check.
That saves half an hour of typing per quote and prevents pricing errors. The entrepreneur checks and sends it themselves: the human stays in charge, the AI does the groundwork.
This is an example of what we can build for you, not an existing product.

Frequently asked questions
Isn't my business too small for AI?
No. Small businesses often gain the most, because there are few people to absorb recurring work. We start small and concrete.
Do you really come to Uithuizen?
Yes. We are there in about half an hour. Introductions, workshops and implementation we simply do at your location.
What does a first step cost?
We work with fixed prices that we agree in advance. No open ends, no surprises afterwards.
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.
