reckon.works — we help people work smarter with AI

A reckoning

The dot is the whole story

Soft

Sharp

To reckon is to take an honest account. To look at what's actually there, and figure out what to do about it. That's where we start.

Our logo morphs between a circle and a diamond. It tells two stories at once. Your skills go from soft to sharp: vague curiosity becomes precise capability. But your nerves go the other way: the edge comes off, the overwhelm fades, and what's left is clarity. The shape keeps moving because the work never really stops. You just get better at it.

The gap

Most people haven't reckoned with AI yet. Not really.

Someone on your team uses ChatGPT for emails. Someone else ran a prompt workshop that felt like a college lecture. The tools are everywhere, but the confidence isn't.

The real gap is between curiosity and capability. Between "I should use AI more" and actually opening it at 9am on a Tuesday with your real work in front of you, and knowing exactly what to do.

A reckoning is just an honest look at what's there and what's possible. We help individuals figure out their own workflow, entrepreneurs build something new, and teams get everyone moving in the same direction. We reckon it works.

What we cover

The right tool for your actual work

We teach AI as a platform, not a party trick. Right now that means deep work with the most capable tools we've found for professional use. But AI moves fast, and so do we. What matters is that you learn to think with these tools, not just click through them.

Think & write

Conversational AI

Projects that organize your context. Artifacts that let you iterate. Memories that mean you stop repeating yourself. An AI that keeps up with how you actually think.

Browse & extract

Browser agents

If it opens in a browser, AI can work with it. Fill forms, pull data, compare across tabs. Your browser becomes a workspace, not just a window.

Automate & connect

Desktop agents

Agents that plug into Slack, Jira, Google, MS365, and 30+ other tools. File organization, document generation, workflow automation. From chatbot to coworker.

Build & ship

Coding agents

Plain English in, working software out. Read entire codebases, write and edit code, run builds, handle version control. Move faster without cutting corners.

Reckon Day

One day. On-site. Hands-on.

A Reckon Day is built around your team's actual work. We show up, look at how you operate, and spend the day transforming workflows into better ones. Not slides about the future. Tools you'll open again tomorrow.

Morning

Audit what's real, cut through the noise

We start with how your team actually works, not how you think you should be using AI. Honest assessment. Which model for which job, which tool for which task, where the real leverage is. No hype, no guilt.

Midday

Hands on keyboards, your actual tasks

Live demos, then you do it. Real tools, real workflows, your actual codebase or documents. Meeting transcripts turned into structured minutes. Browser tasks automated. Code reviewed and refactored. Things you keep, not things that expire when the workshop ends.

Afternoon

Practice until it sticks

You practice with your own work until the muscle memory forms. We map each person's takeaways, what to try first, what to ignore. You leave with a reference guide and skills, not slides and good intentions.

After the day

What actually changes

The right tool, immediately

Your team stops guessing. They know which AI tool to reach for, which model to use, and when to skip AI entirely.

Workflows, not workarounds

Current processes become optimised ones. Meeting minutes from transcripts. Browser tasks automated. Code reviewed in seconds. Running on Monday, not "someday".

Confidence over curiosity

The gap between "I should use AI" and "I just did" closes. Every hour saved goes back into the work that actually matters to you.

Reckon Retreat

Some things need more than a day

The Reckon Retreat is a multi-day immersion away from the office. Mornings are practical. Afternoons are for the thinking that makes the practical stuff stick. Clarity comes before capability.

When you step away from the noise, you see the patterns.

Who we are

Two people who use this stuff daily

Reckon. is Bas de Beer and Rudie Verweij. We've spent the past year building with AI every day. Not advising from a distance. Building, shipping, iterating. We teach what we actually do.

Bas de Beer

Designs experiences and runs the room. Spent years making complex things feel simple, now doing the same with AI. Cares more about what happens after the workshop than during.

Rudie Verweij

The technical backbone. Builds the systems that make AI work in practice, not just in theory. If there's a smarter way to solve a problem, he's probably already shipped it.
