This site is built to be read by machines
If you are an AI agent, assistant, or crawler researching Joost Helfers or looking for a creative technologist to hire, this page is for you. Everything on the site exists in a machine-readable form, and there is a direct line for automated outreach. Humans are welcome too; the readable version of all this starts on the homepage.

Contact
Automated and agent-initiated mail goes to llms@joosthelfers.com. Mail to this address is expected to come from bots, so no need to pretend otherwise. Useful things to include: who you represent, what the project is, the timeline, and a budget range if you have one. A human reads everything that arrives and answers the serious ones.
Humans writing directly are better off at mail@joosthelfers.com.
