AI employees for trade operators who live in WhatsApp.
Kairo gives freight forwarders, exporters, brokers, and factories a pre-trained AI documentation clerk. No portal. No training. No implementation. Just message the AI employee and keep the shipment moving.
Six AI employee packs. One vertical first.
The first test is freight forwarding only. The other packs stay visible as the roadmap, but the build discipline is one WhatsApp documentation clerk before anything else.
Freight Forwarder Pack
- Shipment status updates
- BL and AWB drafting
- Customs pre-fill from invoices
- Client replies in professional English
Export Company Pack
- Quotation generation
- Commercial invoice drafts
- Contract and PO translation
- Supplier follow-up messages
Customs Broker Pack
- HS code assistance
- Duty and tax summaries
- Document checklists
- Permit pre-checks
