CommodityAI is an agentic AI platform built specifically for physical commodity trading operations. It deploys AI agents that ingest unstructured data from emails, PDFs, contracts, Microsoft Teams, and WhatsApp, then reconcile and write structured, schema-aligned records back into existing CTRM and ERP systems. The company aims to eliminate manual, error-prone operational work between a confirmed trade and its settlement, covering commercial, logistics, and finance workflows. Its mission is to be the 'digital operator' of global commodity operations, ultimately reducing manual processes to zero.
