A chatbot that gives your customers real help.

AI chatbotsn8n workflowsIntegrationsWebsites

I'm Thomas, a freelancer. I build AI chatbots into your website or software: trained on your own documents and connected to the systems you already use. From first conversation to a running system.

  • Trained on your own documents
  • In the cloud or fully local
  • Dutch & English
  • Years of experience in operations

I don't automate on gut feeling. I understand the process first.

I love diving into technology that isn't obvious yet. I research how things work, combine existing systems and translate technical possibilities into something that feels logical to the person using it.

My work sits at the crossroads of software, artificial intelligence, hardware and creativity. I learn by making, measuring and trying again — until it's right. No slides, just things that work.

My common thread: I combine operations, software, AI and hardware into one working system. From production and engineering to operations and IT, most recently as a production manager — it always came down to the same thing: understanding processes, analysing problems and building systems that keep working.

Spot problems. Bring structure. Build solutions. Deliver results.

Thinking alongI explain it in plain language and say honestly what is and isn't worth it.
ProcessesTurning chaos into a way of working that holds up every day.
DeliveryDeadlines are real. I deliver what was agreed, even when it gets tight.

What I do

Three services that work on their own, and even better together. You choose where to start.

AI chatbots in your website or software

An assistant that answers questions based on your documents, products and way of working. Customer service for your visitors, or a knowledge assistant for your own team. In the cloud, or fully local when privacy calls for it.

Automations with n8n

The repetitive work that comes back every week: following up on quotes, sorting emails, retyping data between systems. I build a workflow that does it for you, connected to what you already use: email, CRM, spreadsheets, invoicing, webshop.

Websites for SMEs and self-employed professionals

Fast, well-crafted sites that can be found on Google and turn visitors into enquiries. Multilingual if needed, and ready for a chatbot or automation to be added later. This site is an example itself.

MY MINDSET

Ideas only prove themselves in the arena.

A concept can be ambitious. Then it has to be built, tested and refined — with real users, real data and real hardware. I like working where experiment and execution meet.

01 Build it 02 Test it 03 Make it better

How we work together

Start small, get results fast. A first conversation is free and without obligation.

  1. 01

    Introduction

    Free. We discuss what you want to achieve and where you're losing time or customers right now. Website, chatbot, automation, or a combination.

  2. 02

    Quote

    A fixed price, a clear description of what you get and a delivery date. No surprises afterwards.

  3. 03

    Build

    You quickly get a first working version to test yourself. We fine-tune based on real questions, not assumptions.

  4. 04

    Delivery & aftercare

    Explanation, handover and, if you want, maintenance so everything keeps growing with your business.

Frequently asked questions

What does it cost?

You pay a fixed price per project, agreed in advance. A website starts from €1,250, a chatbot is €129 per month (+ €250 setup) and an automation starts from €750 (excluding VAT). After the free introductory call you get a tailored quote.

I'm not sure what I need. Can I still get in touch?

Please do. Just describe what bothers you or what you want to achieve. I'll tell you honestly whether a website, a chatbot or an automation fits best, or whether it isn't worth it.

How long does it take to build a chatbot?

That depends on what it needs to do and how scattered your information is. You do get a first working version to test quickly, though. The exact timing is in the quote, before we start.

Who owns the chatbot after delivery?

You do. The workflow, the texts and the settings are handed over to you, with an explanation. You're not tied to me.

Where does it run, and what happens to my data?

That's your choice. In the cloud for speed and convenience, or fully local on a device at your premises, so not a single question leaves your building. We discuss this during the introductory call.

What if the bot gives a wrong answer?

The bot only answers from what you provide, says so when it doesn't know something, and then refers people to you. Before it goes live, we test it together with the toughest questions. After that, maintenance can keep fine-tuning it.
