What donnajames does

DONNAJAMES B.V. is a Netherlands-based private company that builds AI software exclusively for the Dutch notary sector (notariaat). Founded in 2024 by Anand Jansen (CTO) and Jasper Cuijten (CEO), the company provides a secure AI platform that combines speech-to-text, document analysis, specialized AI assistants, and an AI-hub of notary-specific prompts (20+) to automate administrative work such as converting client conversations into concept letters, analyzing deeds, checking correspondence, and producing minutes and action items. The product is delivered with a structured six-week onboarding and implementation program based on learning-science principles (70:20:10 model, spaced repetition, Ebbinghaus curve), plus an optional Phase II ambassador training that lets customer team leads build their own Micro Agents and prompts via a Prompt Playground.

The underlying technology stack is delivered through a partnership with Artific (technical infrastructure and hosting) and supports Dutch-language modalities including text (deed analysis, draft correspondence, renvoi/typo checks), audio (Spraak-naar-Tekst for client conversations), and structured data (property transfer and family law workflows). DONNAJAMES operates on a SaaS subscription model with annual billing, quote-based pricing, and additional professional services revenue from the mandatory onboarding program. The company holds ISO 27001 certification, complies with the EU AI Act, and is KNB AI-weegschaal proof, satisfying the Royal Dutch Notary Association's AI framework for the profession. Hosting is NL/EU with tenant-specific data isolation.

Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting Dutch notary offices with 50-90+ employees, anchored by a 45-minute live demo (no pitch) and limited new partner intake per quarter. Distribution is being extended through a channel partnership with the Nationale Notaris network (announced July 14, 2026, 50+ member offices) and through integration with Nobilex, the dominant file and relationship management software in the sector. Four named enterprise case-study customers (Vechtstede Notarissen, Hekkelman, DKT Notarissen, Van Grafhorst Notarissen) have been on the platform for over a year, with documented outcomes including a 42% reduction in time from client conversation to concept letter at Vechtstede and 95% adoption within eight weeks.
