We have been building AI that reads and understands text since 2001
Tax authorities in five countries have run on our software. We now put that experience to work on the tasks that slow your team down: reading documents, answering routine questions, keeping your systems up to date.

What could AI take off your hands?
Most organisations have a few tasks that eat hours every week and that nobody enjoys. These are the ones we are asked about most.
Email and requests
Incoming messages sorted, a reply drafted, and the request passed to the right person.
Documents and forms
Invoices, contracts and applications read, checked and entered into your systems.
Company knowledge
One place to ask a question and get an answer from your own manuals, policies and files, with the source shown.
Reports and summaries
Weekly figures, meeting notes and status reports drafted from your data, ready for you to review.
Customer questions
Routine questions answered at any hour, and handed over to a colleague when it gets complicated.
Your own software
An assistant built into your product that explains results to your customers and helps your support team.
Three ways we can help
Twenty-five years of building software that reads and understands text, applied to the work on your desk.
AI agents that do the work
We build AI agents for one specific task in your business. They follow your rules, work inside the software you already use, and ask a person when they are unsure.
Automating a taskPrivate AI
For sensitive data we run AI on your own servers or in a private cloud of your choice, so nothing leaves your organisation.
Keeping data in-houseAI assistants for your team
Already paying for Claude, ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot? We can also help you get more out of what you already pay for: we set it up properly, connect it to your files and systems, and train your people.
Getting more out of your assistantHow we work
Small steps, so you see results before you commit to more.
A first conversation
Free and without jargon. You tell us which work takes too much time; we tell you honestly whether AI can help.
Quick Scan
We look at the task, your data and your systems. You get a short written advice: what is possible, what it takes and what it costs.
Pilot
We build a working solution for one task with your real data. Scope and price are agreed before we start.
Roll-out and support
We train your people, keep an eye on quality and extend the solution to other tasks when you are ready.
Our software has been used by the tax authorities of the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Canada, Croatia and Sweden. This is what we build today.
Case study
An AI assistant inside FaceReader Online
FaceReader Online is the research platform of Human Insight Services, a company within our own group. That made it the right place to build something ambitious: a set of AI agents that explain results to users, draft reports and support the help desk, with every answer checked against the underlying data before a user sees it.
Because we ran the project end to end, we can show exactly how it was built, what it cost and where the limits are. Report drafts now take a fraction of the expert time they used to.
It is our own group's platform, so we had no option of blaming the client's data. Everything you see there, we had to make work.
Why Parabots
Twenty-five years, not two
We started building software that reads and understands text in 2001, long before it was called AI. Our systems have processed millions of documents and web pages for national tax authorities, environments where a wrong answer has consequences and "it worked in the demo" is not good enough. That is the standard we build to, whether the project is large or small.
Your data stays yours
We agree where your data lives before we start. If it must not leave the building, we run everything on your own servers.
People stay in control
Every solution has clear limits on what it may do, and a review step wherever a mistake would matter.
You talk to the people who build it
We are a small, senior team in the centre of Amsterdam. No account managers and no hand-overs.
Questions we often get
Do we need technical people in-house?
No. We take care of the technical side and explain every step in plain language. If you do have an IT team or supplier, we work with them.
What is an AI agent?
An AI assistant answers questions. An AI agent also carries out a task: it reads the email, looks up the order, drafts the reply and puts it in front of a colleague to approve.
Is our data safe?
We decide together where your data is processed and who can see it, and put that in writing. For sensitive data we can run the AI on your own servers, so nothing is sent to an outside service. We are working towards ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certification. We are happy to share our current security and quality documentation on request.
We already pay for ChatGPT or Copilot but hardly use it. Can you help?
Yes, this is a common starting point. We set it up properly, connect it to the information your people need, and train them on their own daily tasks. See AI assistants for your team.
Which AI do you use?
We are not tied to one supplier. Depending on the task we use Claude, GPT, Gemini or models that run on your own servers, and we build things so you can switch later.
What does it cost?
That depends on the task. The first conversation is free. After the Quick Scan you receive a quote for a pilot with a fixed scope, so you know the cost before you decide.
