Proximus joins forces with Belgian AI solutions Accountable and Leexi to help SMEs with administration and meetings.
With the new partnerships with Accountable and Leexi, Proximus aims to provide SMEs with low-threshold access to specialized AI tools. These solutions are designed to help SMEs work more efficiently and reduce their administrative burden. Furthermore, the partnerships strengthen the Proximus ecosystem.
Integrating AI into business processes is no simple matter for many entrepreneurs. They struggle with questions about the right applications and reliable partners. Proximus wants to change this by collaborating with local players. Accountable and Leexi were selected based on their reliability and relevance to SMEs. Both companies offer solutions that are directly applicable in daily practice without complex integrations.
Accounting and meetings with AI
Accountable focuses on accounting and taxes, a crucial but time-consuming part of running a business. The solution uses artificial intelligence to automatically categorize income and expenses and make tax predictions. The tool is designed to reduce the administrative burden for small businesses. Nicolas Quarré, co-founder and CEO of Accountable, emphasizes that entrepreneurs often waste hours on manual bookkeeping. “We want the self-employed to spend more time on their core business,” says Quarré.
Leexi offers an AI assistant that automatically records, summarizes, and structures meetings. The tool can be used to make video conferences, phone calls, and physical meetings clearer and more efficient. Proximus business customers can receive free trials or discounts on subscription costs at Accountable and Leexi.
Xavier Lombard, co-founder and CEO of Leexi, sees great opportunities in this collaboration. “Our solution helps entrepreneurs increase their productivity by using artificial intelligence during meetings,” says Lombard.
Training
In addition to the new partnerships, Proximus is also investing in training to familiarize SMEs with AI. Since February, the company has been organizing interactive AI workshops where entrepreneurs learn how to apply AI safely and efficiently. Nearly a thousand entrepreneurs have reportedly signed up for such a session.
Renaud Tilmans, B2B Lead at Proximus, states that the new partnerships and training sessions are a logical step in supporting digital transformation. “We want to help SMEs conduct business in a strong and future-oriented way,” says Tilmans. The combination of specialized tools and practical training is intended to ensure that AI does not remain an abstract concept for entrepreneurs, but provides concrete added value.
