Applied AI Foundation

Open source AI infrastructure for industries that move the world

AI as a public good

Applied AI Foundation builds open source AI systems for industries where intelligence should be shared, not hoarded. Our first focus: maritime shipping — an industry that moves 90% of global trade.

What we build

Our philosophy

Traditional enterprise AI locks intelligence behind proprietary walls. We believe the industries that power civilization — shipping, logistics, energy — deserve AI that is:

  • Open — MIT licensed, no vendor lock-in
  • Persistent — agents that remember and learn across sessions
  • Collaborative — multiple agents working as an organization
  • Industry-native — built with domain expertise, not generic templates
