Overijse, Belgium · Design, development & cloud
Applications that move your business forward.
Tailor-made web and mobile applications, AI agents that actually work, solid Azure cloud architecture: a designer and a certified architect design and build your tool, from the first mock-up to production.
We build on technology from
- Microsoft
What we do - Five areas of expertise, one team.
We do not resell generic software. We design exactly the tool your team needs, with design, development and cloud brought together in the same small team.
- Design & visual and digital identity. Visual identity and brand guidelines, user research, interactive mock-ups and prototypes, design system and accessibility. Sabine designs interfaces you understand without training, validated with your teams before the first line of code.
- Tailor-made web & mobile applications. Customer portals, back-offices, iOS and Android apps, booking or payment platforms. Built on modern, proven technology, designed around your real processes, not a catalogue.
- AI & agents. Assistants over your documents, agents that handle emails, quotes and invoices, automations with human approval. Deployed on Microsoft Azure AI services, your data stays in Europe.
- Azure cloud. Architecture, migration and modernisation on Microsoft Azure by a certified architect: security, identities, controlled costs and hosting in a European region.
- Evolution & support. Your tools grow with your business: new features, integrations, monitoring, security updates and a contact who knows your code.
AI and agents, in practice - Where an AI agent genuinely saves time.
An AI agent is only useful when it takes over a precise, repetitive, time-consuming task, with clear rules. Here is the kind of deployment we build on Microsoft Azure AI services for teams of 2 to 50 people.
- An assistant that answers from your documents. Your team digs through PDFs, emails and shared folders to find information, and retypes the same answers.An assistant connected to your catalogues, terms and history, hosted on Microsoft Azure, that drafts a reply or a quote with its sources, ready to approve in one click.Faster, more consistent answers, and a team focused on the requests that matter.
- An agent that processes invoices and purchase orders. Documents arrive by email, as photos or PDFs, and someone has to retype everything into accounting or the ERP.An agent that reads each document, extracts the data, checks it against your rules and pushes it into your tool. Doubtful cases go to a human before anything is written.Less retyping, fewer errors, and an up-to-date view of what comes in and goes out.
- A business agent inside your everyday tools. Scheduling, case follow-up, reminders: dozens of micro-decisions a day that interrupt key people.An agent embedded in your application or in Microsoft 365, able to act (create a task, suggest a slot, prepare a reminder) but asking for confirmation before every action that commits you.Work moves forward without interrupting anyone, and every action stays traceable.
Illustrative use cases: every deployment is sized with you, on your own data and your own tools. One rule applies everywhere: AI proposes, humans confirm.
Design × architecture - A designer and an architect, from the first interview.
Most digital projects fail between two worlds: a design the technology cannot follow, or technology nobody manages to use. At Refresh Story, both move forward together.

Our approach - Three steps, no surprises.
A short, readable method designed for business owners who have no time to waste in meetings.
- Explore. We understand your business, your constraints and what really costs you time. Together we prioritise what is worth building. Deliverable : A clear scope, key mock-ups, a fixed-price quote and a schedule.
- Build. Design and development move in two-week cycles. You click through a real version each cycle and adjust before it is too late. Deliverable : A tested, documented application deployed on your cloud.
- Launch & iterate. We prepare the production rollout or the store release, train your team and evolve the tool at the pace of your business. Deliverable : A tool that is adopted, maintained and ready to grow.
Our commitments - What you can expect from us.
We are a small team. Our reputation rides on every project, and we would rather say no than promise the impossible.
- No jargon. We explain every technical decision in terms of cost, timing and impact on your business.
- Fixed scope and price. Every phase is quoted before it starts. If the need changes, we talk before we invoice.
- You own the code. Source code, cloud accounts, store developer accounts and data stay in your name. You are never locked in.
- Reply within one business day. A question, an incident, an idea: you get an answer the same day or the next.
- Data in Europe, GDPR respected. Hosting in European regions and AI models configured never to reuse your data.
- Real things, not slides. By week two, you are clicking on a real mock-up. By week four, on code.
Frequently asked - The questions we hear before we start.
If yours is not here, write to us: we answer everyone.
It depends on the scope. A business back-office, a mobile app published on the stores or a first AI agent do not cost the same. That is why we always start with a short exploration phase and then hand you a fixed-price quote. You know exactly what you pay before you commit.
A project, an idea, a doubt?
A first 30-minute conversation is enough to know whether we can help, and how. No strings attached.
