How it works
001
A desk free to chase commercial opportunity
The book reflects what’s true right now, without anyone keying a trade. Counterparty history is one question away. The hours your traders lost to documentation and status questions come back.
The trade enters itself.
You close the deal on the phone. CommodityAI reads the trade confirmation, the deal recap, the ICE Chat thread, and books the trade into your CTRM. Commodity, quantity, price, counterparty, delivery, and quality spec, captured the moment the deal is done. No blank trade screen, no end-of-day data entry. Your traders stay on the calls that make money.
Emails drafted from your documents.
Every deal generates email. Confirming terms to a counterparty, sending shipping instructions, chasing a missing certificate, updating a buyer on where the cargo is. CommodityAI drafts them from the data it already holds, pulling figures straight from the contract, the confirmation, and the shipping documents. The trader reviews and sends, instead of retyping numbers off a PDF. Back to the phone faster.
Counterparty intelligence, one question away.
“What’s our trading history with X over the last two years?” “Did they pay on time? Did we have disputes?” “What’s the typical margin we capture with them?” Answered in seconds, against your live counterparty record. Decide on the trade before the call ends.
Ask Atlas instead of three other teams.
The questions that used to mean an email to ops, a call to finance, or a wait on risk. “Has the buyer paid for the last cargo?” “Show me everything still open with this counterparty.” “Which of my trades are still missing confirmations?” Ask Atlas, and the answer comes back from your live trade data in seconds, without leaving your desk.
Ops status, self-served.
Where is the Manila cargo? When does the BOL post? When does the COA arrive? Self-service answers for everyone in the firm. Your desk stops being the help desk for finance, risk, and management.
"The constraint on our business is commercial opportunity, not operational capacity."

Future of work
A day on your trading desk
Every trade captured the moment it’s done, exactly as agreed. By end of day, closing the book is a review, not a scramble.
The first trade of the day books itself from the confirmation, with no trade screen to fill. Through the day, cargo, payment, and open-position questions get answered straight from Atlas without pinging ops, finance, or risk. By 17:30 every trade is already in the book and accurate, so the close is a quick check, not a nightly rebuild.

Questions & answers
FAQ
How is this different from my CTRM?
A CTRM tracks positions and exposure. CommodityAI keeps the CTRM current by feeding it clean, reconciled records the moment they exist, and lets you query the CTRM data in plain English. The platform works alongside Right Angle, Endur, Allegro, Agiblocks, Aspect, and Eka. We don’t replace your CTRM.
Can CommodityAI pull live market data into my book?
Yes. Argus, Platts, Opus, DTN, LME settlement, ICE prices, FX, freight rates, and counterparty credit data pulled into every record, refreshed live.
What kind of questions can I ask CommodityAI about my trades?
Anything you’d otherwise take to ops, finance, or risk. Where a cargo is, whether a counterparty has paid, what’s still open with a counterparty, which trades are missing documents. Answered in plain English from your live trade data.
Does CommodityAI help me research counterparties before a call?
Yes. Counterparty history, dispute patterns, payment performance, recent trades, all one question away.
Do my traders still have to enter trades?
No. CommodityAI reads the trade confirmation, deal recap, or trade messages and books the trade into your CTRM. Commodity, quantity, price, counterparty, delivery, and spec, all captured. Traders stay on the phone.
Will using CommodityAI slow down my trades?
No. CommodityAI runs alongside your existing workflow. You don’t pause to capture data; it captures from your existing tools (CTRM, broker terminals, ICE Chat, WhatsApp, email).
Can the trading desk start with CommodityAI before operations is on it?
Possible, but the strongest value comes from the underlying data being clean. Most customers stand up operations first, then light up the trading-side Ask Atlas value prop. We can scope a trading-first pilot if it makes sense.
Ready to stop waiting on the answer?
Bring a recent trade confirmation, a counterparty history request, or a question you'd usually take to another team. We'll show you what CommodityAI does with it.
