Always reachable for every resident

Iris is a digital assistant for the social workforce and public service providers. She translates, simplifies, and keeps residents engaged with municipalities and support offices or organizations, even when the resident doesn't speak Dutch or can't decode a letter.

How it works

Effortlessly connected with every resident

No IT project, no complex integrations, no apps for residents to download. With OpenIris, you activate an extra phone line in minutes.

1

Built on your expertise

You provide the relevant documentation, websites, and processes. We train Iris on this information and activate her behind a dedicated landline, no IT integration required.

2

Instant support in 30+ languages

Residents call the number and are helped right away in their own language. Iris detects the language automatically, answers questions 24/7, and transfers the call to an available staff member when needed.

3

Anonymous insights and improvement

You receive summaries of every call in your language, presented in a clear dashboard. Because all data is stored fully anonymized, you can safely analyze patterns and continuously improve your services.

Security & sovereignty

Maximum control: sovereign and independent

Iris is built around the security standards of the Dutch government. The infrastructure is designed so that continuity is never dependent on a single external provider. No data leaves the EU and no training takes place on conversations. For the technology behind transcription and voices, you choose: a fully European stack for maximum sovereignty, or a hybrid mix for optimal functionality.

Real-time anonymization

All personal data is filtered out of the conversation in real time before anything is stored or forwarded. This guarantees sensitive information never enters our processing or storage.

Fully EU-hosted

The technology behind speech recognition, reasoning and voices runs entirely on European servers. This keeps data within EU jurisdiction and out of reach of foreign legislation.

Pick your own stack

Iris is built modularly, so you decide which technology powers each part of the stack. You can swap providers easily, without a complex migration.

GDPR-proof, no training

We never train models on conversations with residents. Iris meets GDPR requirements out of the box, which significantly simplifies the review process for a Data Protection Officer (DPO).
