We believe AI only works when people want to use it.
BrainStax was founded out of a frustration: too many AI projects deliver nothing. Beautiful technology that nobody uses. Expensive engagements without results. We do it differently. We start with people, not technology. And we don't stop until it works.
About us
Enough experience to know what doesn't work.
BrainStax is based in 's-Hertogenbosch. Our team combines years of experience in AI, data engineering and organisational change. We know the frustration of failed AI projects. The concern of a board waiting for returns. And the ambition of teams that know it can be done better. That experience taught us what does work: start small, bring people along, and only build what truly delivers value.
Anton de Nijs, Founder
Anton is the driving force behind BrainStax. With a background in data, AI and enterprise implementations, he has seen what works and what doesn't. His conviction: technology is only valuable when the people who work with it benefit from it.

More about BrainGrounds →What we stand for
No mission statement. Just how we work.
People over technology.
AI that nobody uses is wasted effort. We only build when we know the team is ready for it.
Honest over commercial.
If AI is not the right solution, we'll say so. We'd rather have a satisfied non-client than a frustrated client.
Results over reports.
We deliver working solutions, not thick reports. Our AI agents run in production, not in a sandbox.
Start small, think big.
We start with a use case that proves itself. No big-bang implementations. Each step funds the next.
