Sound familiar?

Your business runs on you. Your evenings pay the price.

The same questions, 30 times a day

Opening hours, prices, availability… your team answers messages instead of serving customers.

Leads that go cold

A quote request waits two days for a reply — and the customer signs with someone else.

Admin eats your evenings

Quotes, invoices, data entry, copy-pasting between five different tools.

Hiring drags on

Writing job ads, sorting applications, organising interviews — on top of everything else.

Marketing on the back burner

Social posts, newsletters and Google reviews wait until “there's time”. There never is.

Know-how stuck in people's heads

When Marie is on holiday, nobody knows how it's done or where the file is.

These are exactly the tasks AI now handles well — reliably, affordably, and with a human checking the result.

34.5%

of Belgian businesses with 10 or more people already use at least one AI technology.

Statbel, 2025

3 in 4

large Belgian companies (more than 250 employees) use AI. Smaller businesses have ground to make up.

Statbel, 2025

54%

of French companies not using AI say they lack the expertise.

Insee, companies with 10+ employees, 2026

That expertise is exactly what we bring.

What we build

Custom AI for every corner of your business

Not a generic chatbot. Tools designed around your processes, your data and your tone of voice — connected to the software you already use.

01

Sales

Never let a lead go cold again.

  • Instant, personalised replies to every inbound request
  • Quotes and proposals drafted in minutes

  • Email triage with ready-to-send replies
  • Smooth hand-off to a human when it matters

The result — Your team freed from repetitive questions.

03

HR & hiring

  • Internal assistant for HR policies and questions
  • Onboarding checklists and training material

The result — Hours saved on every hire — people still decide.

04

  • Thoughtful replies to every Google review

Devnode

Web & AI studio · Belgium

Who's behind Tandem

Tandem is Devnode's AI offer.

Devnode is a Belgian web studio that builds websites and web tools for small businesses. With Tandem, we put AI to work in a practical, measurable way — without jargon and without the hype.

Our conviction: AI should work in tandem with your team, not replace it. It takes the repetitive work; your people keep the judgement, the relationships and the final say.

We handle everything from the first call to the follow-up: development, integration with your tools, hosting and maintenance. One point of contact, clear communication, deadlines met — no subcontracting, no 80-page slide decks.

How we work

Pragmatic
Return on investment first. If AI isn't the answer, we'll tell you.
Transparent
No black box: you understand, own and control your tools and accounts.
Human
AI assists, people decide. Your team is trained and in control.
Responsible
GDPR and EU AI Act built in from day one.

Your data, your rules

Built responsibly, from day one.

GDPR-first

Only the data that's needed, business-grade AI services that don't train on your data, and a data processing agreement.

EU hosting when it matters

Hosting and AI providers chosen for your sensitivity level, with European options available.

Transparent AI

Your customers know when they're talking to an assistant — as the EU AI Act requires.

Human in the loop

Sensitive actions are reviewed by a person. You keep the final word.

FAQ

Questions small-business owners ask us

Do I need technical skills?

No. We handle the set-up and integration. Your team uses the tools inside the apps they already know, and training is included in every project.

How much does it cost?

The AI Audit costs €990 excl. VAT and is fully credited if you go ahead with a project. Projects start from €2,500 excl. VAT. You always get a fixed, written quote before anything starts. AI usage costs are usually a few euros to a few dozen euros per month.

How quickly will I see results?

Often within 2 to 3 weeks: we start with a quick win that saves time immediately, then build on it.

Is my data safe?

We use business-grade AI services that don't use your data to train their models, we collect only what's needed and we sign a data processing agreement with you. For sensitive data, European hosting options are available.

Will AI replace my employees?

That's not the goal. AI takes the repetitive tasks so your team can spend more time with customers. People stay in control — that's the whole idea behind the name Tandem.

What if AI isn't a good fit for my business?

Then the audit will say so — and if we can't find at least 3 worthwhile opportunities, you don't pay for it.

Which AI tools do you use?

The best tool for each job: Claude, ChatGPT, Mistral, automation platforms like Make or n8n… No lock-in: the accounts are in your name and you own what's built.

What about the EU AI Act?

We build with transparency (since August 2026, customers must be told when they're talking to an AI — our assistants say so from the first message) and with human oversight, and we help your team build the AI literacy the regulation asks companies to support.

Do you work on-site or remotely?

Both. On-site workshops in Belgium when useful, everything else remotely — for businesses in Belgium, France and across Europe, in French or English.
