Automated where it can be. Human where it should be.

We start small and easy: with the email and the simple, recurring questions your team answers every day — order status, warranty, returns, appointments. Those get handled right away, so your people have time for the conversations that really matter. A full phone agent can come later, when you are ready — we have already proven that at an e-bike manufacturer. Smart assistants that know when a human needs to take over.

"Welcome to Sample Company, how can I help you?"
Customer
"Hi, my battery won't charge anymore."
Bright agent
"Sorry to hear that. Do you have the battery's serial number handy? It starts with BMS-."
Customer
"One moment… yes, BMS-04812."
Bright agent
"Great. Could I have your postcode first, to verify?"
Customer
"1234 AB."
Bright agent
"That matches, thank you. The battery was bought in March last year — still under warranty. Shall I book a service appointment at your nearest dealer and send the confirmation via WhatsApp?"
Customer
"Yes, please."

Who we build for

Wherever the same questions keep coming back.

Recognise the pattern — day in, day out the same ten questions about status, warranty, returns or appointments? Then this works for you. It doesn't have to be complicated. We feel most at home in Dutch manufacturing, where we have proven the most, but the principle applies just as well beyond it:

Electric bikes

Warranty and returns flow, dealer locator, battery and service appointments, order or repair status. Including integration with your dealer and workshop system.

Energy storage systems

Capacity and charging complaints, BMS readouts, warranty and return procedures, safety and certification questions, installation help. Verified answers from your own documentation and test data.

And any other business with lots of customer contact

Webshop, wholesaler, installer or service provider — wherever the same questions about status, invoices, appointments or returns keep coming back, the same approach fits. We start with whatever costs the most time.

Under the hood it is always the same building block: a layer that wraps around your systems and automates whatever can be automated — whether that is invoices or answering the phone automatically.

What we build

The AI does the simple work.
Your team does the rest.

The real product sits under the hood: a deterministic layer that wraps around your systems and reliably executes whatever you want to automate. The channels sit on top — we start easy with email and the simple, repetitive work, and expand towards phone as soon as you are ready. Anything that deserves attention is passed neatly to your team.

The deterministic layer — the core

Our core: a dedicated server that wraps around your critical systems — ERP, webshop, customer service system, email. Strict, predictable execution on verified input only. With it we automate whatever can be automated, from an invoice to a warranty check by serial number. The channels above do the talking; this layer does the work.

Email agent — the easy starting point

Where we usually start: an agent that categorises incoming email, replies where possible, or escalates with full context — every email gets an owner or an answer.

Seamless handover

The AI knows when a human is needed — and warm-transfers to the right colleague, with a short summary. The customer tells their story once; your colleague has the full context at hand.

Your own knowledge base

The agent learns from your own manuals, FAQs and historical tickets. Answers are always in line with your policies, product information and tone of voice.

CRM integration

Everything is logged neatly in your existing CRM or ticketing system. Gorgias, Zendesk, HubSpot, Odoo — we connect it.

Phone agent — the furthest step

For those who are ready: a phone agent that sounds natural, asks follow-up questions when needed, and passes complex questions neatly to the right colleague. Not a required first step — but where it can grow. It is already live at an e-bike manufacturer.

Under the hood

An agent that talks. A layer beneath it that acts.

The biggest pitfall of AI in customer service is the agent making things up. An invented tracking link, a fictional returns policy, a price that differs from what is in your systems — useless.

That is why we build two layers. A conversation layer where the agent talks and listens naturally. And beneath it a deterministic action layer that only executes real, verified actions through API integrations with your business tools.

The tracking code the agent shares comes straight from PostNL. The stock level it mentions comes from your inventory system. The ticket it promises is actually created in your CRM — otherwise the conversation only wraps up once that succeeds.

Why this works

Closer to your customer. With fewer people.

The paradox of modern customer service: the more you automate, the more room there is for real attention. Provided you do it in the right place.

i.

A human exactly when it matters

The AI handles the simple, recurring work — whether it is an email or a phone call — and hands over as soon as it gets complex. The customer reaches a human the moment it matters, instead of after seven minutes on hold or three days waiting for a reply.

ii.

Your specialists get their work back

The simple, repetitive questions are handled instantly. That leaves more time for the customer with a complex issue, the question that needs real expertise, and the kind of conversation your people were hired for in the first place.

iii.

Full context at handover

When a conversation is handed over, your colleague gets a summary, customer details, previous orders — everything. The customer tells their story once.

iv.

Scales without losing its soul

Ten questions a day or a thousand — your service stays personal where it should be, and efficient where it can be. Your team stays calm, your inbox stays under control.

Advice & approach

Think it through first — then build.

It starts with advice, not code. First we dig into your customer contact and your processes: where the friction is, what you can automate and what is better kept human. Sometimes that advice alone is the biggest win; often it is followed by a solution we build together with your team — their knowledge as the starting point. Short iterations instead of a six-month project, step-by-step rollout instead of all-or-nothing.

01.

Listen & advise

We talk to your team, look at your processes and systems, and see where time disappears. You get honest advice: what AI delivers here, what it should not do, and what we keep human. Even if the conclusion is: don't automate just yet.

02.

Build & train

The agent learns from your knowledge base, your tone of voice and your past conversations. Short iterations with test calls, your team gives feedback, we refine until it's right.

03.

Careful go-live

First on one line or segment, with your team as a safety net. What works well we scale up; what falters we adjust. Monthly reviews together.

Ownership

We build it. You own it.

Fully transparent, fully transferable. You get access to the code, the configuration and the servers it runs on. We remain your technical partner — for as long as you need us.

PHATFOUR — AI and humans, hand in hand.

Live in production · 2026

Every call gets answered. Every customer speaks right away.

For PHATFOUR (e-bike manufacturer) we built a multi-stage voice agent with five specialised flows: support — automatically split between warranty and workshop service — shipping, sales, dealer and a catch-all for everything else. The router listens, classifies within seconds, and handles simple matters (order status, opening hours, warranty terms) directly.

Beneath the conversation layer sits a deterministic action layer that makes real API calls to Odoo (frame number and warranty checks), Gorgias (tickets, tags and email macros) and WhatsApp for customer communication. Only verified data from live systems — what the agent says comes straight from your systems.

After every call a Gorgias ticket is created automatically, with B2C or B2B routing already filled in based on whether a consumer or a dealer is calling. At the same time the customer receives a WhatsApp message; as soon as they reply with their email address, the system picks the right one of seven email templates and sends the confirmation straight away — service appointment, warranty claim, sales follow-up or dealer report.

For anything that needs a human — a hesitant buyer, a complex warranty claim, a technical problem that requires product knowledge — there is a warm transfer to the right colleague, with full context. Or a WhatsApp callback when the customer would rather be called back later.
