AI Agency Winsum
Winsum was named the prettiest village in the Netherlands by the ANWB. Behind that pretty picture sits a lively SME scene that is more than ready to take a step with AI.
Why now, and why here
Winsum has an active village centre with shops and hospitality, plus the Het Aanleg business park near the station and the N361. Many businesses are small, but they run on processes that can just as easily be made smarter.
We start with your process, not with a tool. First we look at what gets left undone each day, then we decide where AI genuinely saves time. 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.
Customer queries and bookings for a shop or hospitality business
A business in the centre gets questions all day by email, phone and social media. An AI assistant handles the standard questions, suggests draft answers and puts bookings into the diary.
That brings calm on busy days and makes sure nothing gets left. You or your employee keep the overview and send the final reply yourselves.
This is an example of what we can build for you, not an existing product.

Frequently asked questions
Is AI something for a small business in Winsum too?
Certainly. It is precisely small teams that gain a lot when the standard tasks run automatically. We scale it to what suits you.
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.
Do I need to understand technology myself?
No. We take care of the technology and explain how it works in plain language. You keep control over what happens.
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.
