English-first
Much of Dutch business runs in English — international teams, expat founders, cross-border clients. We deliver everything in English by default and add Dutch-language AI where your customers need it.
Amsterdam alumni

the Netherlands FAQ
Are you based in the Netherlands?+
Mark ran a business in Amsterdam for years and knows the Dutch market first-hand. AI Makers now works remote-first with Dutch clients — weekly demos in CET, async written updates in between, and site visits to Amsterdam or Rotterdam scheduled per project.
Do you work in English or Dutch?+
Delivery is English-first — specs, demos, documentation, calls. That suits the international teams that make up much of the Dutch SMB market. Customer-facing AI is built in Dutch, English or both, tested against your real customer messages rather than lab translations.
Are you GDPR-compliant?+
Yes. We sign DPAs, document sub-processors, design with privacy by default, and never train models on your data without explicit written consent. Breach-notification process for the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens is documented per project.
How does the EU AI Act affect our project?+
Most business-AI use cases are minimal- or limited-risk. We classify yours during scope and apply the right controls — transparency notices, human-in-the-loop where mandated, training-data documentation. If your use case is high-risk we tell you up-front and scope accordingly.
Can the AI handle Dutch customers?+
Yes. Frontier models handle Dutch well, including informal customer messages. We test against your real support tickets and emails before launch, and build bilingual Dutch-English flows where your customer base is mixed.
Can you invoice in EUR?+
Yes. EUR or USD, paid by bank transfer or Wise. For Dutch B2B clients the reverse-charge VAT mechanism applies — we provide correctly formatted invoices with the documentation your boekhouder asks for.
