The 10x Engineer

Our Agentic Engineers are technical consultants working with a 10x mindset — 1 engineer with hyper-effective AI Coding Agents does the work of entire teams. This lets you innovate at the speed of Silicon Valley.

"One Agentic Engineer with the right AI agents is more powerful than an entire development team. That's not future talk — that's how we work today."

Our values

Curiosity

Our world changes weekly: new models, new frameworks, new possibilities. We want to truly understand how technology works, explain it to others, and share what we learn — with the team, with clients, with the world.

Responsibility

We do what we say and say what we do. Our name is on every client, every project, every deadline. We're honest when things take longer and we build agents that act transparently and accountably.

Perseverance

AI implementation is rarely a straight line. Systems fail, models hallucinate, integrations break. We see obstacles as puzzles, not walls — and build agents as resilient as the people who make them.

Pragmatism

Our clients need working solutions today, not in six months. Sometimes that's an advanced multi-agent system, sometimes a simple n8n flow built in an afternoon. The right tool for the job.

Ambition

We don't want to be just "an AI agency" — we want to be the partner that truly transforms Dutch organizations with AI. "Good enough" isn't good enough, for ourselves or our team.

Our tech stack

We work with the best tools and technologies to build scalable solutions.
