Agents and automation that actually take work off your plate
Voice agents, document extraction, email routing, RAG on your own knowledge base and multi-step workflows. Built with monitoring, human escalation and audit trails. Start small, scale what works.
Agents are not magic. They are software that understands language, which is why they can take steps previously only humans could. Pick up a phone and book an appointment. Read an invoice and post it to the correct ledger. Read an inbound email, look up the correct answer and reply. Do research through a web portal and summarise the results. That is what we build. Not demos, not impressive showcases without follow-up, but agents that run in production and handle work every day.
The biggest opportunity is not chatbots on a website. It sits in business process automation where people currently do repetitive work that adds no direct value. Inbound email that needs routing to the right department. Documents that need classifying and forwarding. Phone calls with standard questions that cost a person five minutes each. Policies or contracts that need extraction of a key data point. Each task you currently handle manually that an agent is fine for, provided it is built and monitored properly. This is process automation with language understanding, and it differs from classic RPA because agents can interpret what a message says rather than only following pre-defined rules.
We build with the tools that work: Claude, GPT and Gemini as reasoning engine, Zapier, Make, n8n or Workato for the workflow layer, LangChain and LangGraph as agent framework, and custom Python or Node where bespoke is needed. For RAG on your own knowledge base we use vector databases like Pinecone, Weaviate or PG-vector. For voice agents we deploy ElevenLabs or OpenAI Voice. For human-in-the-loop we integrate with Slack or Teams by default. No vendor lock-in, no unnecessary subscriptions, just the right tool per layer.
Our approach is engineer-pragmatic. First decide which task is actually suited to an agent and which is not. Then build a defined pilot, put it in production with a limited user group and activate monitoring. Measure how often it decides correctly, how often it escalates, how often something goes wrong and what the fallback is. Only then scale up. A Quickscan upfront helps pick the right use case before you start building, see /en/ai-strategie. For sector-specific applications such as invoice processing for accountants (/en/ai-accountants), customer service bots (/en/ai-klantenservice), document review for lawyers (/en/ai-juridisch) or reception bots for tourism (/en/ai-toerisme) we have separate pages.
What you get
Voice agents (phone and voice reception)
Agents that pick up the phone for first-line questions, schedule appointments, transfer to the right person or send a note to the department. Works for reception, a practice, a hotel or a customer service team that wants to be reachable after hours.
We build with ElevenLabs or OpenAI Voice for natural voice, integrate with your calendar, CRM or phone system, and ensure unknown questions go cleanly to a human. Logging is on by default, so you can hear exactly what was said.
Document extraction and classification
Invoices, passports, contracts, policies, BSN forms, delivery notes. Documents currently read manually, classified and entered into a system. At volume this costs speed or accuracy.
An agent reads the document, extracts the right fields (invoice number, amount, VAT, date, supplier), classifies it and posts it to your accounting or DMS. Uncertain cases go to a human with a doubt flag. You keep control, the bulk flows through.
Email and chat routing with escalation
Inbound email or chat queries currently read and forwarded by a human. Many are standard (status questions, billing issues, opening hours, simple product questions) but still take time away from work that really matters.
An agent reads the inbound message, fetches the answer from your knowledge base or CRM, sends a direct reply or routes to the right department. On doubt or complaint: escalate to a human via Slack, Teams or a ticket. Your staff only handle the genuinely complex cases.
Multi-step workflows with AI decisions
Workflows that tie multiple systems together and require choices along the way that simple if-then logic cannot capture. A new lead that needs qualifying, enriching and assigning to the right account manager, for example.
With n8n, Make or Zapier we build the workflow, with Claude, GPT or Gemini as decision step where judgment is needed. Every step is loggable and testable. If a step fails, it is clear where it went wrong and who needs to look.
On-premise and RAG on your own knowledge base
Companies with sensitive data or compliance requirements often cannot send documents to a cloud AI. At the same time there is huge value in an agent that knows your own manuals, contracts or wiki.
We build RAG systems on your own infrastructure or in an EU-only environment you control. Vector database (PG-vector, Weaviate, Pinecone) local or in your own cloud, open or commercial model of choice. Audit trails on by default for AI Act compliance.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if an AI agent is reliable enough for production?
Reliability does not come from the model name, it comes from the design. We build agents with clear boundaries: they only get access to the tools and data they need, they operate within a defined task, and they have explicit instructions on what to do when uncertain. For production we test every agent on a set of realistic scenarios, including edge cases and adversarial use. We measure success rate, hallucination rate and escalation rate. You get a dashboard showing weekly what the agent did, what went well and what did not. Only when those numbers are stable do we scale volume. Small and correct first, then scale.
What if the agent makes a mistake or misinterprets something?
We think about that upfront, not after the fact. Every agent has a fail-safe: when confidence drops below a threshold, it escalates to a human via Slack, Teams or email. For real errors (wrong answers, hallucinations, failed API calls) the incident is logged with full context: input, prompt, model output, steps taken. So you can review and adjust. We also build in a correction loop by default: users can give feedback and that feedback improves prompts and retrieval over time. An agent that never makes mistakes does not exist, an agent that makes mistakes visible and learns from them does.
How does escalation to a human actually work?
Human-in-the-loop is the rule for us, not the exception. For every agent we explicitly define when a human must step in: low confidence, sensitive decisions (finance, legal, complaints), unknown input patterns, or simply when a customer asks. Escalation goes through the channel your team already uses: Slack, Teams, a ticketing system or email. The team member receives full context, the agent's proposal, and can approve, adjust or take over with a single click. You decide how strict the thresholds are. A new agent runs stricter than an agent that has proven itself.
What happens with our sensitive data?
For truly sensitive data we build on-premise or in an EU-only cloud environment that you control. Nothing leaves your infrastructure. For less sensitive use cases we work with providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google) that contractually guarantee inputs are not stored or used for training. We document per use case where the data goes, how long it is retained and who has access. For clients with strict GDPR requirements or sector-specific rules (healthcare, legal, financial) on-premise is often the best route. Vector databases like PGVector or Weaviate can run locally, as can open models like Llama or Mistral. You have the choice.
Can you integrate with our existing systems?
In most cases yes. We work daily with CRMs (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, Teamleader), accounting systems (Exact, Twinfield, Yuki), email (Outlook, Gmail), document platforms (SharePoint, Drive, Dropbox), telephony (RingCentral, Twilio, Aircall) and chat platforms (WhatsApp Business, Intercom). If a system has an API we integrate directly. If it does not, we work through Zapier, Make, n8n or as a last resort browser automation. We always start with a short technical check so we know upfront whether an integration can be robust, or whether a workaround is needed. No surprises mid-project.
How does AI Act compliance work for agents?
The AI Act imposes requirements on logging, transparency and human supervision, especially for agents that affect people (customers, employees, applicants). We therefore build audit trails by default: every agent decision is recorded with input, output, model version, timestamp and any human approval. For agents that may fall into a high-risk category (e.g. recruitment, credit scoring or medical advice) we set up logging even stricter: the prompt version and retrieval sources are also retained. We also ensure transparency to end users: they know they are talking to an agent and how to escalate to a human. You get a compliance file per agent.
How do I start small without a months-long project?
By picking a use case that is well-defined and where the pain actually sits. Not "we want AI agents", but "our reception gets 200 booking requests per week and that costs an hour a day". Such a use case we can often have operational in one or two weeks, with a limited pilot group. Then we measure what it delivers in time or quality, adjust, and expand. An AI Quickscan upfront helps choose the right use case, see /en/ai-strategie. We no longer build six-month platform projects. Having something in production that works, small but real, is far more valuable than a large roadmap without a first delivery.
