We gebruiken Claude AI om elk sjabloon te ontwerpen, na uitgebreid onderzoek. Daarna neemt ons team het over. We verfijnen de indeling, testen elke formule grondig, lossen randgevallen op en polijsten het ontwerp totdat het iets is dat we zelf ook echt zouden gebruiken. De AI brengt ons 80% van de weg. De laatste 20% is puur menselijk oordeel.
