Bilzers Trio Brings AI Accessibility to SMEs
Three friends from Bilzen – Bart Donné, Stefan Brepoels, and Kristof Ulrix – are democratizing artificial intelligence with their new company, Adoptai. Leveraging their combined expertise in software and management, the trio is focused on delivering practical AI solutions to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Adoptai, led by Donné as CEO, Brepoels as COO, and ulrix as CTO, aims to dispel the misconception that AI is solely the domain of large corporations. “Many SMEs believe AI offers no efficiency gains for them,” explains Donné. “That’s simply not true. Smaller companies can significantly benefit from smarter, faster, and easier processes. The need is urgent, as competitors are rapidly adopting AI, and delaying implementation can be detrimental.” Adoptai offers to handle both the analysis and implementation of AI solutions for businesses.
The company’s approach begins with a rapid assessment of a client’s operations,typically completed within a few days. “We examine the entire company to identify areas where AI integration can deliver value,” says Brepoels. “We then tailor concrete solutions, frequently enough focusing on automating time-consuming, repetitive tasks.” Adoptai utilizes a range of tools,including ChatGPT and Rossum,selected to meet specific client needs.
The potential applications are broad, spanning diverse sectors. Ulrix highlights examples like project planning and automated reporting for construction and real estate, supply chain optimization for trade and logistics, and e-learning solutions for HR and education. He adds, “The possibilities are countless, extending to automated accounting, legal and compliance, administrative tasks, and even privacy and safety protocols.”
Early adopters have been impressed with the results. Donné notes that clients are “frequently enough really surprised by the time and efficiency gains achieved through even a simple implementation.” He believes that witnessing these initial successes lowers the barrier to embracing AI across all business processes. “Its rewarding to deliver clear added value quickly, and that’s why we’re confident in Adoptai’s future and anticipate a promising trajectory.”
