What Fiksy is, and where it shines

Fiksy is an AI employee for Dutch SMEs, offered under the name Arclinq. It covers four kinds of work. For email it replies in your tone, prioritises, follows up and summarises threads. For planning it books and moves appointments and prepares meetings. For research it writes market, competitor and trend reports. For admin it handles invoices, documents, data entry and exports.[1]

Where it shines is the live view: Fiksy works in a digital office that you can watch. It lists Gmail, Outlook, Google Calendar, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Notion and HubSpot as integrations, and says it is ready within 24 hours with nothing to install. Fiksy has local pages for about 20 towns in the north and west of the Netherlands, such as Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Haarlem, Utrecht and Alkmaar.[1]

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

Fiksy starts with an intake call and then builds a custom package. It says Fiksy is ready within 24 hours and that nothing needs installing.[1]

With AI Setups we do 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

Fiksy works with custom packages and sends a personal proposal after a free demo. No price, minimum term or setup fee is published, and its own price article lists Fiksy as 'on request'.[1][2]

AI Setups agents work in Slack, WhatsApp and email.

Control and approval

Fiksy's site does not describe an approval step. For email it says it escalates only what needs your attention.[1]

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

Pricing side by side

Plan Price What you get
Custom package[1][2] On request Quoted after a free demo; no price published
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

Fiksy publishes no price, so we cannot work out a total for a 10-person company. Ask Fiksy for a quote after the free demo.[1][2]

With AI Setups, one agent is €500 a month and two agents are €1,000 a month, with a 3-month minimum and no setup fee. Prices excl. VAT.

When Fiksy is the better choice

  • You want a custom package built around your work, and a free demo before you decide.[1]
  • You want to watch the work happen live in a digital office view.[1]
  • You work in Microsoft Teams, which Fiksy lists as an integration.[1]
  • You want a quick start: Fiksy says it is ready within 24 hours.[1]

When AI Setups is the better choice

  • You want a published price per agent before you talk to anyone.
  • You want the agent in WhatsApp as well as Slack and email.
  • You want the agent to do the routine work and ask a person to approve before anything goes out.
  • 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 use an AI colleague for email and planning and add an AI Setups agent for one process, such as the weekly report or lead follow-up.

If you move from Fiksy 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.
