The agent reads only what your team approves. It produces drafts, tables, and alerts. Sending and signing stay with the broker, the operator, the charterer.
Private Full-Time Agent
On your hardware
Same agent, same memory, different priorities depending on who is asking.
From present employment to next employment, without losing the thread.
The shipping agent is tuned to how your desk actually works. See the full picture for yours.
Each trade has its own paperwork, its own clauses, its own ways to lose money quietly. The agent watches the right ones.
The agent works for your company. Not a shared chatbot. Not a public service. Not a forced migration.
Day one, it is a careful junior. Month two, it behaves like someone trained by the desk.
Always state whether ETA comes from master, agent, or terminal.
Captured after first morning rundown.
Put source conflicts before the normal vessel rundown.
Promoted from session note to desk rule.
Default to WhatsApp rundown. Excel only when requested.
Format preference learned from operator behaviour.
Behaves like an experienced colleague trained by the desk.
Built on every correction, recap, and follow-up since deployment.
Sample file drops are proof-of-work. Production is connected to approved working sources.
A working call with the desk. We map the real workflow: orders, positions, recaps, follow-ups, claims. Not a generic process diagram.
An anonymized batch of emails, recaps, position lists, and vessel schedule, so we can show what the agent would read, flag, and draft before any deployment.
Install on company hardware in your office. Read-only at first. Personality and desk language configured with the team.
Connect approved mailboxes, vessel schedule, position list, recap and document folders. Each source is opt-in and scoped.
Desk rules and corrections become company memory. We sit with the desk monthly to retune what the agent watches, drafts, and ignores.
We will show where a Full-Time Agent creates leverage in your shipping desk: vessel scheduling, cargo flow, documents, calculations, source conflicts, and daily memory.
