SamOntdekt

Free city walks in the Netherlands and Belgium, at your own pace. And an experiment: can an AI content factory build a quality travel site?

what it is

SamOntdekt offers walking routes through Dutch and Belgian cities: the sights, the stories behind them, audio tours and a route you can download as a PDF. It is written in Dutch, for people who want to explore a city without a guide and without hurry.

the content factory

The real project is behind the site. "Make SamOntdekt Culemborg" starts a pipeline that researches the city, drafts a route and the texts in the house style, and runs them through four review gates. A human approves the result in a dashboard, a visit script is generated for a check on location, and only then is the city published.

The whole pipeline can be driven through an MCP server, and the language model behind it is a configuration choice, not a code change. The goal: a growing site of around fifty high-quality cities, with fewer manual hours for every new one.
