The short answer
Tamboer AI is AI automation for Dutch small and medium businesses that want recurring administrative work taken off their hands without losing control. Joost builds those workflows for companies in Amsterdam and across the Netherlands. Starting is free: you get advice and three tailored AI work instructions. Building one process costs from €4,500 excluding VAT and takes three weeks. An employee approves every outcome before anything leaves the building.
What is going on in Amsterdam
Amsterdam is business and financial services, creative agencies, wholesale and a very dense layer of small firms of five to twenty people. Those small firms have exactly the problem this is about: a lot of client work and very little back office capacity.
Advisory and financial firms
Client intake, file checks and periodic reporting that follow the same steps every time.
Creative agencies
Briefs, quotes and project reports collected by hand from email, chat and documents.
Wholesale and e-commerce
Purchase orders and order confirmations that arrive by email and end up in the system by hand.
What I automate inside that work
Not the craft, but the preparation around it. The workflow reads what comes in, extracts the fixed data, compares it against the source and puts the result ready. Then an employee reviews and decides. The workflow sends nothing, books nothing and promises nothing. See the five controls to see how that boundary is recorded.
Why being local does not require a different method
Sitting close together makes the kick-off and the handover simpler, and that genuinely shortens lead time. But the quality of an implementation does not come from a postcode. It comes from the process boundary, the source data, the test cases, human control and the same measurement before and after. I carry out diagnosis, design, build, test and handover myself, so you have a single point of contact. Read more about Joost.
