About Us
An independent Rotterdam-based company — built by estimators, for estimators.
We know the trade.
That's why we build better tools.
Elephate.ai was founded by people from the installation and estimation world. We spent years behind the specs ourselves — counting quantities, matching articles, assembling quotes and hoping the price was right. We knew there had to be a smarter way, so we decided to build it.
The result is a platform that reads your documents automatically, recognises the building structure and matches articles from your own catalog into a complete estimate. No magic, no incomprehensible AI — just a smart assistant that takes the tedious work off your hands. You stay in control of every line and every choice.
"We build the tools. You are the expert."
We are an independent Dutch company, based in Rotterdam. No foreign conglomerate dictating the roadmap, no investors calling the shots. We talk to installation companies, listen to what they need and build exactly that — nothing more, nothing less.

No. ChatGPT and Copilot are general-purpose AI tools. Elephate.ai is purpose-built for estimation in the installation industry — it understands specifications, recognises STABU codes and calculates quantities and costs. A generic chatbot cannot do that.
We solve a real problem — others offer tools, not solutions. Elephate.ai is built by and for tradespeople. We've had countless conversations with installers, mapped out the pain points precisely, and are building real automation.
