5U AI is on a mission to automate Europe’s freight-forwarding industry with an AI workforce. We tackle inbox overload, manual data entry and tedious operational processes - helping logistics companies scale faster while drastically reducing their operational costs.
IDP Objective:
Design, develop and test a modular AI agent platform that enables logistics companies to automate core freight-forwarding workflows. The agents will ingest unstructured data from emails and PDFs (e.g. Requests for Quotation, booking confirmations), extract key information, and interact with the system of records and other communication channels via 5U AI platform - reducing manual workload and increasing operational efficiency.
Tasks of the IDP & Work Packages (single, full-stack track):
1. Support designing end-to-end architecture for an autonomous AI agent, covering data ingestion, reasoning and action execution.
2. Implement & fine-tune the agent’s brain using LangGraph, LangChain or AutoGen plus state-of-the-art LLMs.
3. Develop production-ready APIs & data pipelines connecting the agent to the 5U AI core platform and external knowledge bases (vector DBs, TMS).
4. Engineer data transformation: Turn chaotic logistics emails/PDFs into clean, structured database records.
5. Ensure production-grade quality: Security, scalability, reliability, tests, and clear documentation.
