  "sections": [
    {
      "heading": "Why automate?",
      "intro": "Every business, regardless of size, does repetitive things. A craftsman who answers the same questions by email every day. A restaurateur who manages his reservations by telephone between two services. A consultant who recreates each quote in a Word document. A trader updating his stock in an Excel spreadsheet."
    },
    {
      "heading": "What you can automate (and what you shouldn't)",
      "intro": "Not everything can be automated, and not everything should be. Human relationships, creativity, important decisions, that remains your domain. But here's what AI and automation handle very well:"
    },
    {
      "heading": "B2B and Peppol e-invoicing: frame the flow before connecting the tool",
      "intro": "Since January 1, 2026, invoices that fall within the scope of the Belgian B2B obligation must be electronic and structured; a PDF alone is usually not enough. The federal portal indicates that software connected to the Peppol network is necessary to send, receive and process these invoices."
    },
    {
      "heading": "Tools developed by Hebora",
      "intro": "A good AI workflow goes far beyond a simple assistant. It is a system capable of performing repetitive tasks with clear rules: analysing data, preparing responses, generating reports, monitoring changes and triggering the right actions at the right time."
    },
    {
      "heading": "What hours could you get back each week?",
      "intro": "We map your tasks before proposing any workflow or AI engine."
    },
    {
      "heading": "Which AI engine? We choose according to need",
      "intro": "Hebora does not default to one supplier. Depending on the case, we can connect a public, private or hybrid AI model. The right choice balances quality, cost, latency, confidentiality and compliance with your business rules."
    },
    {
      "heading": "We manage your environment, not just three pretty prompts",
      "intro": "Automation that affects your customers, your calendar or your invoicing does not live in a vacuum. You need a clean environment: accounts, API keys, permissions, logs, backups, escalation rules, human validation, and clear separation between test and production. Otherwise you don't have a system. You have a bet."
    },
    {
      "heading": "We automate business processes, not demos",
      "intro": "The right topic is not “making a chatbot”. The right topic is to remove friction in your real workflows: qualifying requests, creating quotes, appointment reminders, tracking payments, responding to FAQs, following up with prospects, sorting emails, generating reports or preparing internal tasks."
    },
    {
      "heading": "Without a reliable source of truth, automation produces unreliable answers",
      "intro": "An AI assistant or automated workflow does not invent the right information. It retrieves that information from a source. If your site is vague, if your FAQs are old, if your services are not described properly, if your hours change without being updated, then your automation will reproduce that uncertainty at speed, leaving your team to correct the mistakes."
    },
    {
      "heading": "Concrete examples of processes that we frame in Belgium",
      "intro": "The needs are not the same depending on the profession, but the quick wins are often very clear when we look at daily life:"
    },
    {
      "heading": "The Hebora approach: tailor-made, not ready-to-wear",
      "intro": "There are hundreds of automation tools on the market. The real problem is not finding a tool, it's finding the right tool for your situation. And often the best solution is a mix of existing tools and custom development."
    },
    {
      "heading": "Is it accessible for a small business?",
      "intro": "Automation is no longer reserved for large companies. An AI assistant like Suppia is designed to be accessible to small organizations. An automated appointment booking system is often free (online booking tool). Even custom tools remain affordable when they are properly sized."
    },
    {
      "heading": "Explore our specialist guides",
      "intro": "Why buying a tool without a strategy never works. Hebora's consulting approach."

      "intro": "Each profession has its own bottlenecks. Here's how Hebora approaches automation sector by sector, with the uses that really pay off and those to avoid."
    },
    {
      "heading": "Solve a business problem with AI",
      "intro": "Another reading, through the main problem. Does AI really solve your problem, or is it wasting your time? Here are the use cases where it pays."
    },
    {
      "heading": "Where to start?",
      "intro": "If you've never automated anything, here are the first 3 steps:"
