Purpose-built for commodities
Not a generic chatbot. Vesper AI is trained on years of commodity market data, price dynamics, and supply chain context. It understands your world out of the box.
Every answer is traceable
Vesper AI never guesses. Every output references the verified source behind it: a VPI price series, a trade flow report, a supply and demand balance sheet. You can check the work.
AI since 2019
Vesper has been building commodity AI since before the hype. Years of model refinement, accuracy improvements, and real-world feedback from procurement teams shape every feature.
The problem with AI today
Every procurement team has the same concerns
General AI tools were not built for commodity procurement. The hype is real, but so are the limitations.
How do I actually use this?
General AI tools require you to know what to ask and how to frame it. Without commodity expertise baked in, you spend more time prompting than getting answers.
Can I trust it?
Most AI tools hallucinate statistics and cite sources that do not exist. In procurement, a wrong number does not just look bad. It costs money and credibility.
Is this even the right approach?
Many teams experiment with AI tools that were not designed for their workflows. The result is a lot of effort for little gain, and a lot of sceptical stakeholders.
This makes memes, not market calls
General-purpose AI is great at writing and image generation. Commodity procurement needs something different: verified prices, supply signals, and structured market logic.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How is Vesper AI different from ChatGPT or other general AI tools?
General AI tools are trained on public internet text and generate plausible-sounding answers. They cannot access live commodity prices, verified trade data, or proprietary analyst reports, and they hallucinate statistics with alarming regularity. Vesper AI is grounded in Vesper's real-time database. Every answer is traceable to a specific data source. It does not guess. If Vesper does not have the data to answer a question confidently, it says so.
What commodity categories does Vesper AI cover?
Vesper AI covers all categories available on the platform: dairy, oils and fats, grains and feed, sugar, cocoa, nuts, food ingredients, and more. The depth of analysis varies by category depending on available data. For core commodities with full VPI coverage, the AI can discuss price trends, supply fundamentals, trade flows, seasonal patterns, and forward market signals.
How accurate are the AI forecasts?
Vesper's AI forecasting models have been refined continuously since 2019. Accuracy is tracked across all commodity categories and published openly. Forecasts provide a direction, a price range, and a confidence score, so you always know how much weight to give the output. No forecast is perfect, but Vesper's are built on verifiable data and tested against real outcomes.
Is my company's data kept private when using Vesper AI?
Yes. Vesper uses enterprise-grade encryption for all data in transit and at rest. Your questions and your company's data are never used to train shared models or exposed to other users. The AI runs within Vesper's secure, siloed environment and your purchase prices (if uploaded via Bring Your Own Data) are visible only to your team.
Can Vesper AI help me prepare for supplier negotiations?
Yes, this is one of the most common use cases. You can use Commodity Copilot to build a data-backed market briefing before a negotiation: current price levels, trend direction, supply fundamentals, and comparable benchmarks. The AI can also help you stress-test your position and anticipate counterarguments based on what the data shows.
