What Annabel is, and where it shines

Annabel is an AI employee for Dutch SMEs, made by mijnannabel B.V. She works inside the customer's own mail, calendar and bookkeeping tools. She reads and answers email, prepares quotes in the company's own style and prices, keeps the planning, follows up invoices and logs new requests. Her site names installers, painters, plumbers, administration offices and architects as typical customers, with 2 to 25 staff.[1][2]

Where she shines is the fit with Dutch admin software. The site lists Moneybird, Exact Online, e-Boekhouden, Teamleader Focus, Simplicate, HubSpot, Picqer, AFAS SB and more. Each Annabel has her own email address, which is also her inbox and log. By default she drafts and the owner approves. There is a 14-day free trial, and the first paid month is refunded if you are not satisfied.[1][2][3]

What AI Setups is

AI Setups sets up ready-made AI agents for SMEs with 2 to 100 staff. We start with the Operations Agent, which answers questions about the business, writes reports and drafts routine work, and the Lead Gen Agent, which finds new B2B leads and writes personal emails every day.

We connect your systems, adapt the agent to how your business works and show your team how to use it. The agent works in Slack, WhatsApp and email, does the routine work and asks a person to approve before anything goes out. It costs €500 a month per agent, with a 3-month minimum and no setup fee.

Key differences

Who does the setup

Annabel's team sets up each new client in the first two weeks. You grant access from your own software, and the environment is ready the same day or within one working day, per Annabel. In the first week she learns your style, prices, example quotes and clients.[1][2][3]

AI Setups also does the setup. We connect the systems, adapt the agent to how the business works and show the team how to use it.

How you pay

Annabel is priced by team size: €599 a month for 1 to 3 people, €1,299 for up to 10 people, and Business on request for more than 10 employees or several AI employees. Prices are excl. VAT and there is no minimum term stated.[2]

AI Setups charges €500 a month per agent, excl. VAT, with a 3-month minimum and no setup fee. The price follows the number of agents, not the number of people.

Where it works

Annabel works in Microsoft 365 or Google for email and calendar, and you reach her by mail, text or call. Slack is not mentioned on the pages we checked.[2][3]

AI Setups agents work in Slack, WhatsApp and email.

Control and approval

Both ask before anything goes out. Annabel's default is draft and approve: mails, quotes and invoices wait for the owner to press send. Per task she can be set to send directly, and internal items such as a calendar entry she does herself.[2][3]

AI Setups agents do the routine work and ask a person to approve before anything goes out.

Data and hosting

Annabel gives each client an own isolated environment on a server inside the EU, with an encrypted disk. Nothing is shared across clients, and a daily automated check confirms the work was done.[2]

At AI Setups, hosting and data are agreed per customer.

Pricing side by side

Plan Price What you get
Standaard[2] €599 a month 1 to 3 people, shared team memory
Team[2] €1,299 a month Up to 10 people, priority support
Business[2] On request More than 10 employees or several AI employees
AI Setups, one agent €500 a month Fixed price per agent, 3 months minimum, no setup fee

Published prices only, as shown on the date above. AI Setups prices are excl. VAT.

Example: a company with 10 staff

A 10-person company fits the Team plan: €1,299 a month, with no minimum term stated. Setup is included.[1][2]

With AI Setups, one agent is €500 a month and two agents are €1,000 a month, with a 3-month minimum. Prices excl. VAT. The two do different jobs, so the number of agents you need decides the comparison.

When Annabel is the better choice

  • Your work runs in Microsoft 365 or Google and a Dutch accounting package such as Moneybird, Exact Online or AFAS.[2]
  • You want to try it free for 14 days first, with the first paid month refunded if you are not satisfied.[1][2]
  • You want no minimum term.[2]
  • You want a Dutch-language service from a Dutch company, with an EU server for each client.[2]
  • You are a team of 2 to 25 and want one AI employee for mail, quotes, planning and invoices.[2]

When AI Setups is the better choice

  • Your team works in Slack or WhatsApp and you want the agent there as well as in email.
  • You want separate agents with a clear job each, such as an Operations Agent and a Lead Gen Agent.
  • You want an agent that answers questions about the business and writes reports.
  • You want a Dutch and Swedish team to talk to.

Switching, or using both

You do not have to choose one for everything. A team could keep a drafting assistant in the mailbox and add an agent in Slack or WhatsApp for one process, such as the weekly report or lead follow-up.

If you move from Annabel to AI Setups, start with the one process you rely on most. We set that agent up first; you keep your own tools and accounts.

Where we run this ourselves

We run the same agents in our own companies. The Operations Agent runs every day at Remodius, the ecommerce brand Jim runs, and the Lead Gen Agent runs our own outreach on Rasmus's tools ListFixer, MailSpot and Leadster.
