Hands-on AI help for small businesses in BelgiumTravelling light.
On site fast.
All cards on the table.

I help small businesses with short AI projects: a dashboard, a small app or an automation that works. Realistic results, step by step, and everything is in your name.

Sound familiar?

This is what I hear at the table with business owners. Not at multinationals: at companies of five, ten, twenty people who work hard and deliver fast.

“I have everything, but it’s all over the place.”

Excel here, emails there, a shared folder, a schedule behind a link. It all exists, but nobody sees the whole picture.

“Our tool keeps hitting its limits.”

Notion, ClickUp or a home-made CRM: it half works and it doesn’t look good. You always want just a bit more than the product can do.

“Nobody here is working on it.”

You can tell AI could free up time, but there’s no IT person in house and no time to figure it out yourself.

vs

1 in 2large companies

The big players have an IT department and a budget. Small businesses mostly need someone who drops by, takes a look with you and builds it.Source: FPS Economy (Belgium), 2023 figures: 10.6% of small versus 47.9% of large Belgian companies.

I help you get your project done. Your business stays your business.

I’m not here to redraw your internal structure. I help see one project through, together with the people who work with it every day.

  • One project, no reorganisation

    We pick something concrete and finish it. Who does what in your business remains your decision.

  • A step up, naturally

    Because AI gets built into that project and explained, your business shifts up a gear. Not because it has to, but because everyone sees it works.

  • More efficient, and fun

    The people I work with start wanting to use AI themselves. It happens every time, without me having to ask.

Pick your card

Three ways to start. Short and clearly scoped: you know upfront what you get, with an honest estimate of what it takes.

The Scout

Exploration

half a day

I come over and look over your shoulder. Where does time leak away, where does your data live, what can AI already take over today?

Be sure to send me what you have beforehand: documents, websites, screenshots, mp3 or mp4 recordings. I turn that into a first analysis that you receive by email ahead of our conversation.

After the conversation I sharpen that first analysis into one page in plain language: where AI genuinely saves you time today, and what a realistic first step looks like.

The Master Builder

First build

short project

One tightly scoped project: a dashboard, a small app, a follow-up system for your clients or an automation.

Something that works, on your phone, with your own data. Not a report.

The Advisor

Riding along

regular cadence

A fixed half day per week or per month. Keep building, teach your people to work with Claude, fine-tune where things get stuck.

AI that gets used on the work floor, not just by you.

Ask for a proposal

The cards in my hand

A fixed set of tools I know inside out and keep up with every week. You don’t have to follow them: what I build moves along with the latest versions. No closed package, no dependence on a single vendor.

  • Claude

    The thinking

    Reads, writes, summarises and builds along. I work with it every day, keep learning with every update and test each time where it can actually be put to use. Everything I do is hands-on.

  • Lovable

    The screens

    Apps and dashboards with login and security, much faster than classic custom development. I’m a Lovable Certified Partner.

  • Supabase

    Your data

    A real database instead of ten spreadsheets. Access rights are defined in the database itself.

  • GitHub

    The memory

    Every change is kept, in your name. If you stop working with me, you take everything with you.

  • Vercel

    Your own roof

    Once your app is finished and stable, it moves to hosting in your own name: your domain, your keys, every change on a test address first before it goes live. You still make changes in Lovable, but the app runs independently of the build tool.

  • Slack

    The table

    One channel per project, with your people in it. Decisions, screenshots and questions in one place instead of in ten emails. Every delivery and every alert from your app lands there too.

  • BizBuz

    Your visibility

    My own scanner: how well do Google and AI assistants find your business? Over 130 checks, one to-do list.

  • Data

    The foundation

    Everything starts from one source; all the rest is derived from it. A solid foundation is the base of everything. Years of building databases for banks taught me that.

  • Whisper

    The ear

    Recordings of conversations and meetings become text, on my own laptop: your recording never leaves the house. That is where the first analysis comes from, before we sit down together.

    More about Whisper

Five rounds, and you keep building yourself

  1. Round 1 · The call

    Twenty minutes, free. You tell me where it hurts, I tell you honestly whether I can help.

  2. Round 2 · The scope

    One project, a clear scope and an honest estimate of time and cost. On paper before I start.

  3. Round 3 · The build

    You regularly see a working version and adjust it in plain words.

  4. Round 4 · The handover

    Everything is in your name. You can carry on yourself, with me or with someone else.

  5. Round 5 · Your move

    From then on you keep making changes yourself in Lovable. I pass on all the knowledge you need to do so. The aim is that you can maintain it yourself, enjoy working with it and grow along with the technology.

Who’s coming over?

Christophe Berton, AI consultant for small businesses at Dwarskop

Christophe Berton

LinkedIn

I started as a database consultant at FinArch, in the financial sector, where a mistake in the structure costs money. After that I worked on the operational side at Fourcast, among the people who have to use the tools every day.

Today I build as a Lovable Certified Partner with Claude, Supabase and GitHub. I’m not a software house. Drawing on planning and experience, I build things that last and that you can use without a manual.

Above all I want this to be fun, for me and for you. A small project that works makes people want to go further, and helps them grow faster than a big plan.

I work across Belgium, in Dutch, French or English.

Frequently asked questions

What exactly does Dwarskop do?

Dwarskop helps small businesses with short, clearly scoped AI projects: a dashboard, a small app, a follow-up system for clients or an automation. Christophe Berton builds them hands-on with Claude, Lovable, Supabase and GitHub.

Why the name Dwarskop?

In Flemish, a “dwarskop” is a stubborn head: someone who does not simply go along with the crowd. That is how I work: I tell you honestly when AI is not the right answer, I do not sell a big plan where a small project will do, and what I build is in your name. Stubborn about the hype, not about you.

Who is this for?

For freelancers and companies of roughly five to twenty people without an in-house IT person, who sense that AI could free up time but don’t know where to start. I work across Belgium, in Dutch, French or English.

What does a project cost?

There are deliberately no prices on this site, because every project is different. After a first conversation you get a clear scope and an honest estimate of time and cost, on paper before I start.

Who owns the code and the data?

You do. Everything is in your name: the code in GitHub, the data in Supabase, the app in Lovable. If you stop working with me, you take everything with you.

Do I need to be technical to carry on myself afterwards?

No. In Lovable you make changes in plain words. I pass on the knowledge you need to maintain it yourself, so you enjoy working with it and grow along with the technology.

What should I send before an Exploration?

Everything you have: documents, websites, screenshots, mp3 or mp4 recordings. I turn that into a first analysis that you receive by email ahead of the conversation.

Twenty minutes, and you’ll know if it’s for you.

Call me, or send an email with what’s holding you back. Free and without a sales pitch.
