About BeeManaged

Operators first, advisers second.

BeeManaged is a small team that builds AI agents and keeps them running. We started with conversational product advice for manufacturers in 2020, and Joost and Peter run agents every day in their own company, Places.nl.

Our story

Manufacturers were stuck with static product finders and lead forms while their customers wanted to talk. We started BeeManaged to replace those with agents that hold the conversation.

At the same time, Places.nl, the company Joost and Peter own, started running agents of its own: an AI answering service for the phone since 2023, and an advice agent for its services. That is where Joost and Peter learned what it takes to keep an agent useful after launch, and it is why every BeeManaged agent comes with monthly management.
