AI and automation

An AI phone assistant, a chatbot that books appointments, and automations for the work that always goes the same way. We build it, and we use it ourselves.

What we build

An AI phone assistant. It answers your phone, says it is a digital assistant, answers questions about your business and puts callers through to you. After every call you get a summary. Since 15 October 2026 our own phone is answered this way: call +31 85 666 27 86 and you will speak to Julia, who puts you through to Twan or Lorenzo.

A chatbot that books appointments. On your website it answers questions about your services and prices and puts an appointment straight into your calendar. You can try ours at the bottom right of this page.

Automations. Work that always goes the same way runs by itself: enquiries forwarded, appointments scheduled, confirmations and reminders sent, invoices created after payment, and data exchanged between your systems. Not every automation needs AI; many work with fixed rules.

Open about AI

Our AI applications follow the European AI Act: since 2 August 2026 they say at first contact that they are an AI. We do the same for the phone assistants and chatbots we build for clients. That is not only the law, it also builds trust: a caller who knows he is talking to an assistant asks his questions differently and doesn't feel misled.

Where it pays off

The best place to start is the work you do every day by hand: answering the same questions, scheduling appointments, retyping enquiries. Keep a list for a week of what happens over and over. That is the list we start from. Every task that runs by itself is time you get back for your actual work, and a mistake that isn't made anymore.

What it costs

AI and automation are priced on request, on top of the software. The price depends on what it has to do and how many calls, chats or tasks it handles, and you hear it in a call before anything is built. Hosting, maintenance and updates run through the software, from €79 a month excl. VAT.

You talk to the people who build it. Twan van Hulst is the designer and does the build and the technology, Lorenzo Ruisi does the strategy. Nothing is outsourced. DesignCheck is based in Mijdrecht, the Netherlands, and works with businesses across the Netherlands and abroad, on site or remotely.
