AI automation, built in Amsterdam
Amsterdam has one of Europe's densest tech scenes for its size. The European or EMEA base for companies like Booking.com, Adyen, and Uber's regional operations sits within a few kilometers of each other. That means a working culture that already takes automation, API integrations, and remote-first teams for granted, and a freelance (ZZP) engagement model that Dutch businesses have worked with for years, not a novel arrangement to explain from scratch.
X-GenAI works with anyone who needs AI automation, anywhere, but being Amsterdam-based specifically means a few concrete things for a local or EU client, not just a city name in the footer.
What Amsterdam-based actually means
Central European hours
CET/CEST, full working-day overlap with the rest of the EU and UK. US East Coast gets a solid morning window; West Coast works for an early-evening call. No offshore-hours guessing game.
In person when it's worth it
Most engagements run fine fully remote, but a kickoff or workshop day in person is on the table for Amsterdam and the wider Randstad (Utrecht, Rotterdam, The Hague), useful for mapping a messy workflow the first time.
Dutch-registered, EU-invoiced
X-GenAI is registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK). EU business clients are invoiced reverse-charge VAT (btw verlegd); Dutch clients get standard 21% BTW. Same paperwork your other Dutch vendors already send you.
GDPR isn't a translation exercise
Data protection is EU-native here, not a US product retrofitted with a compliance checkbox. Data processing agreements and EU data residency are a starting assumption, not a special request.
Direct accountability, start to finish. No local office, no account-manager layer, just whoever's actually going to build it, based a tram ride from Amsterdam Centraal.
Based nearby, or just want CET-hours coverage?
15 minutes, no pitch deck. In person in Amsterdam if that's easier.
