AI workshops in Groningen
In Groningen the way you work is changing faster than d'Olle Grieze has ever seen. With an AI workshop your team learns to put AI to practical use straight away, in-company at your own location.
Why a workshop, and why here
Groningen is the beating heart of the North: knowledge, care, energy and a growing IT sector, with plenty of SMEs around the UMCG, the university and Zernike.
AI only works once your team actually uses it. That is why we often start with a workshop: hands-on, with examples from your own work, so it saves time the very next day.

From sceptical to building your own in a day
In an in-company workshop your team gets hands-on: drafting emails and quotes, summarising documents, and building a first tool of their own with AI.
No theory, but applying it straight to your own work. We finish with an adoption plan, so it sticks and does not stay a nice day out.
This is how we run an in-company workshop; we tailor the content to your team.
Three spots for a workshop in Groningen
Rather not at your own office? In Groningen a workshop can just as well be held at a spot that inspires. A few favourites:
Forum Groningen
Sleek and bright, with course rooms made especially for training and brainstorming. Within walking distance of the station.
Prinsenhof
Beamed ceilings and stained glass from 1436, right in the city centre. Atmospheric, with catering and coffee close at hand.
Der Aa-kerk
A real wow location for a workshop with a bit more going on. Historic building, modern facilities.
Close by, from Groningen
Our office is in Groningen itself, so we are at your table in no time. No travel, no fuss, and the in-company workshop we simply run at your own location.
We like working for Groningen SMEs. Short lines, a quick coffee in person, and someone who knows the city well.

Do we need prior knowledge?
No. We start where your team is and work with examples from your own practice.
Which workshops are there?
From a broad Claude workshop to Vibe Coding and a bespoke in-company training. We tailor the content to your team and your goal.
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.
