What we do
CommodityAI is building AI that automates workflows in one of the world’s most operationally complex industries—commodities. These are the companies that move the resources our world runs on: the grains that feed us, the metals that build our cities, and the energy that powers everything in between.
Behind every trade and shipment, however, critical data lives in emails, PDFs, and legacy systems, slowing operations, increasing errors, and tying up teams in manual work. CommodityAI is a digital operator for the physical commodities world. It continuously interprets unstructured data, reconciles with the system-of-record, and flags issues in real time—giving teams greater clarity across every transaction.
We’re redefining how commodity businesses execute by embedding intelligence into their daily workflows—helping them manage risk, streamline post-trade execution, and move the world’s resources with greater control and accuracy. CommodityAI is building intelligence and automation at the foundation of global trade.
Why join us
We’re a Y Combinator–backed company (W24) bringing AI to the $10T+ commodities industry. Our customers are enterprise-scale physical traders and producers in agriculture, energy, metals, and chemicals.
We’re funded by top investors, including Y Combinator, Rebel Fund, and the founders of YouTube, Uber, and Reddit.
As one of our earliest hires, you’ll help shape not just the product, but how we build as a company. You’ll work directly with the founders — running implementations, refining customer workflows, and making decisions that drive retention and revenue.
