Stay in the loop.
How is AI changing your industry — and what should you do next?
We record the moments AI moves from research to pilot to production in maritime, logistics, manufacturing and energy, from public sources. AI drafts, Codex checks against the source, and only what Kenny approves is published.
Once a week. Only what has been reviewed.
Your industry is changing like this
4 approved signals — what changed, at which organisation, at which stage. AI-drafted · reviewed by Kenny.
Logistics & supply chain
No approved signal for this industry yet — our sources have not surfaced one that passed review.

What you care about — I can help
Adopting AI safely, with the human kept in the loop. Every offer cites work actually delivered.
You want AI agents in stowage, B/L or port-call work, but a person must still sign off.
Decision support that captures planners' rules and explains its checks, human approval gates, PoC to operations.
- StowGenie · Bureau Veritas class-approved · public source ↗
- Just-In-Time Port-Call Service · public source ↗
- ContainerGenie.ai · Prototype · public source ↗
- OceanMate · In development · pre-production · self-reported
You want AI to cut trade-document and ERP ↔ e-invoicing work, while the rules keep changing.
Document AI and per-jurisdiction integration packages built on the standards (UBL, EDIFACT).
- Taxera · In development · not in production (dev/stage, sandbox) · self-reported
- Trade Logistics Collaborative Platform · public source ↗
- IMDGonBlockchain · public source ↗
You want AI on 4M changes and NG → RCA → CAPA, with accountability staying on the shop floor.
Event-driven workflows, statistical (EWMA/CUSUM) drift alerts kept separate from the LLM's explanation, risk-based human approval.
- Daxi AI Workflow Platform · In operational use at the customer (4M/NG workflows) · multi-agent design is a proposal · public source ↗
You want to move from plant anomaly detection towards agentic operations, and need to decide how far to automate.
From a failure-prediction PoC to operating workflows with human review nodes — never-automate zones first.
- Daxi AI Workflow Platform · In operational use at the customer (4M/NG workflows) · multi-agent design is a proposal · public source ↗
- Solar inverter failure-prediction PoC (PoC done, proposal submitted; self-reported)
You want agents in operations but are unsure how to bound their permissions, audit them and keep human approval.
An agent security harness (alignment, ownership and posture files), human approval gates, agent observability UI.
- OceanMate · In development · pre-production · self-reported
- APA — Autonomous Personal Assistance · Live for personal use · self-reported
- Daxi AI Workflow Platform · In operational use at the customer (4M/NG workflows) · multi-agent design is a proposal · public source ↗
- OceanMate security harness: ALIGNMENT.yaml · OWNERS.yaml · POSTURE.md, 7-tab agent observability UI (self-reported)
LLMs alone do not solve your forecasting, optimisation or anomaly-detection problem.
Statistics and optimisation raise the signal, the LLM explains it, a person signs off.
