AI is mature. Yet too many organizations fail to recognize it and that’s why real business impact is still lagging. They treat AI as a tooling problem, when in reality it’s an organizational one. In this article, I explain why AI is not (yet) SaaS, but QaaS.

“You shouldn’t use AI to replace people, but to help them work smarter.” This isn’t just a tech cliché, it’s daily practice at De Jong Intra Vakanties. Since 2024, the tour operator has been working with AI specialist AI Opener to make employees not redundant, but more effective. The result: more speed, more scalability, without losing the human touch.

Useful for taking notes or drafting proposals faster, but as soon as you want AI to truly collaborate within your workflow, you hit a wall. Why? Because AI projects in Copilot that go beyond simple efficiency gains are often, and rightly, led by IT. More value emerges when the business itself takes the lead, using AI agents that combine domain expertise, model flexibility, and seamless integration with data and tools.

Many companies want to “do something with AI,” but remain stuck in plans, committees, and delays. Meanwhile, their teams are already experimenting on their own. Sound familiar? We created a campaign about it, with a touch of humor and a serious undertone. In this blog, you’ll discover why postponing is not a strategy.

At Trojan Monkeys, creativity always comes first. But since partnering with AI Opener and introducing Sparky, their personal AI Agent, the creative process has reached an entirely new level. Sparky is personalized to mirror the style of Creative Director Auke van Rossum and shows that even an “AI monkey” can spark creative thinking in surprising ways.

AI Opener, Artific, and AI Ready join forces to bring clarity, control, and speed to the use of AI in the workplace.

AI that works for you, without you having to click on it? It’s real. In this blog, you’ll discover how so-called AI agents independently reply to emails, schedule meetings, follow up on leads, and manage social media. Not magic, just practical application. With four examples, you’ll see how companies save time, reduce errors, and enable their teams to focus on work that truly matters.
