How T57 uses AI to match, check and forecast, with a person behind every decision.
T57 builds AI into every step of food trade, from matching and pricing to compliance, forecasting and documents, so every member gets expert support, and people still make every decision.
The problem
Food trade still runs on calls, spreadsheets and guesswork
Most food trade still runs on phone calls, spreadsheets and experience. Buyers search for suppliers by word of mouth. Prices are guessed from last month's deals. Documents are typed by hand and checked by eye. Farmers plant without knowing what the market will want. General-purpose AI tools do not help much, because they know little about a basmati grade in Punjab, a date harvest in Al-Ahsa or the documents a Malaysian importer needs. The key challenges T57 addresses include:
Expertise only the largest players can afford
Market analysts, compliance teams and trade specialists are out of reach for most food SMEs.
Generic AI that does not know food
Large global models lack local crop, market and regulatory knowledge, and often lack local languages.
AI no one can check
Black-box decisions about credit, compliance or pricing are hard to trust.
How T57 AI works
Four layers, from verified data to a human decision
- 01Verified data layerAI learns from verified trade records, public market and climate data and, with consent, what farmers know, recorded by voice or photo in their own language.
- 02Small, local modelsInstead of relying on one giant model, T57 builds a family of small models for each region, crop and value chain, with Arabic and local-language knowledge.
- 03Decision-support layerModels power matching, pricing, forecasting, risk, compliance and document tools inside each trade.
- 04Human layerAI advises and people decide. Every adverse decision, such as a rejected application or a compliance flag, is reviewed by a person.

Use case · Illustrative example
Jeddah importer, before and after T57 AI
Before
A Jeddah food importer found suppliers through agents, checked prices by phone and had its staff type every document. A sanctions issue with one supplier was discovered only when the bank stopped the payment.
With T57 AI
On T57, AI suggests verified suppliers, benchmarks each quote against the price index, screens every counterparty before the deal, drafts documents from the contract and flags supply risks weeks ahead. The importer's team spends its time deciding, not searching and typing.
Why T57 AI
We believe that AI in food trade must be useful, local and accountable.
FAQ
Common questions
What does "AI-native" mean at T57?
AI is built into every step of the trade, from matching and pricing to compliance and documents, rather than added as a separate tool.
Does AI make decisions about my business?
AI makes suggestions and flags issues. People make decisions, and every adverse decision is reviewed by a person.
What data does T57's AI use?
Verified trade records, public market, trade and climate data, licensed data from partners, and farmer knowledge recorded with consent. Individual members' data is never shared with other members.
Why small, local models?
Food is global but hyper-local. Small models trained for a region, crop and value chain understand local conditions and languages better, cost less to run and are easier to test and explain.
