Making AI useful, open and owned

databag is an AI agency from the Netherlands. We help people and organisations learn, build and run AI — on their own terms.

Our Story

databag started as a team of builders who were tired of stitching together brittle automations and scripts. We wanted agents that actually finish tasks, tools that respect your data, and a way for anyone to learn this new craft by doing.

Today databag is an AI agency with four pillars: AI transformation, AI products, AI learning and the AI community. We advise enterprises, build custom and sovereign agent platforms, train teams and individuals through workshops and the databag Academy, and share everything we learn on YouTube and our Founders & AI Builders podcast.

We are based in the Netherlands and work with clients across Europe. That shapes how we build: privacy by design, open source where possible, and AI you can run on your own infrastructure.

What we stand for

Builders first

We ship working software, not slide decks.

Ownership

Your data, your models, your agents — always.

Open by default

We share code, lessons and recordings with everyone.

Teach to empower

Every project leaves your team more capable than before.

Who we are

A small senior core team, extended with a network of specialists from our community.
