The Mission

Building an AI reporting tool for people who don't trust AI and don't love computers.

Arbeidsdeskundigen (Dutch occupational health experts) spend hours retyping information from medical files, employer statements, and job analyses into long-form assessment reports. The work that matters is the judgment. The work that eats the day is the transcription. We had three months to ship an MVP that would change that. I owned the product design end to end: research with practicing arbeidsdeskundigen, concept exploration, interaction and interface design, usability testing, and part of the front-end implementation alongside Mike.

The real constraint wasn't the deadline

Our users are experienced professionals, often later in their careers, and generally not confident with software. Several told us their previous reporting tools cost them time rather than saving it, they'd tried, and given up.

That reframed the problem. We weren't competing with manual work. We were competing with distrust of software itself. A tool that was powerful but confusing would fail the same way the last one did. Two things followed from that: Every AI output had to be inspectable and editable. Not a black box that produces a report, but a draft the expert corrects. The professional judgment stays theirs; the product just removes the typing. Complexity had to be spent carefully. Three months meant we could build one thing well. Not a flexible workspace with many entry points.
