ActiveAI teammates for logistics
About
We're building for the people that keep the world moving. Freight brokers and forwarders operate on razor-thin margins in a relationship-driven business — yet most of their teams spend the majority of their day on manual, repetitive work. We help freight brokers and forwarders build AI teammates that handle their repetitive, manual tasks so teams have time to focus on customers, carriers, and growing the business.

Launch
Build models that outperform general, closed source alternatives at a fraction of the cost and latency
Burt helps teams train and deploy specialized domain models that outperform general, closed-source options while offering significantly lower cost and latency. They provide end-to-end support—from data prep and evaluation to training and deployment—and showcase a case where a custom VLM is faster and more accurate than a high-end model.
