About us

Arco Westbroek and Peter Michels are the people behind chatsbuddies

chatsbuddies teaches entrepreneurs and their teams to work with AI. That happens in three ways: through software, with workshops and as a speaker at your event.

The people behind it

  • Arco Westbroek, smiling, in a dark blue sweater

    Co-founder

    Arco has one mission: to teach as many entrepreneurs and teams as possible to work with AI. Over the coming years everyone will work with their computer differently, and that does not happen by itself: most of us are stuck in years of typing and clicking. He likes breaking those patterns by letting you experience how else it can be done. Hence the software: speech to text was poor for years and is now much better. That helps, because AI needs context to understand you: speaking gives it, typing cuts it short.

    To Peter, everything is language. He listens to how people talk about their work, and hears in it where things chafe and what is really meant. That is why he takes capturing the spoken word seriously: whoever can read back what was said can reflect on it, and that is where getting better begins, for you and for your organisation. A conversation you can read back is no longer a memory, but something to build on next time.

Three ways of working together

Software
Making daily work lighter with the right tools.See our software
Workshops
A workshop where you and your team try it out yourselves. Not just for the inspiration, but to take the hesitation out of the collaboration. Think of it as working with a colleague.
Speaker
Keynotes and podcasts about the new way of working with AI.

Let’s meet
