Agentic first
They come to you.
- 01
They do the work
Agents watch the market, your contracts and your data, and hand work to each other. Every handoff is recorded.
- 02
They bring you the decision
The finished piece lands with you, every claim traced to its source, with a plain-English check on how sure it is.
- 03
You approve, tweak or send back
One button. Your decision is recorded and the agents learn from it. Nothing ships without your yes.
No chatbot here. Our agents turn up with the answer, the evidence and a button for you to press.
The hero agent
The Bid Agent.
Finds the tender, qualifies it, reads the market, prices it, writes every answer to the marking scheme, then holds the contract to the bid.
-
Scout
Watches the market. Flags tenders the moment they drop, and predicts the ones coming back.
-
Analyst
Interrogates a tender or a market. Bid or no-bid, with the drivers first.
-
Tactician
Plays the bid to win: prices it, reads the assessors, writes every answer from evidence you own.
-
Steward
Holds the contract to the bid, and turns delivery into your next win.
-
Partner
Finds who you should win with, and proves why.
We run on what we sell
Our own fleet. Your transport twins.
We run economAIcs on agents. Every one has a twin in transport. Before we sell you an agent, we run on one.
Twin of our Daily Brief Desk
Control Room Brief
Each morning, the five decisions that need you across service, contracts and incidents, every line cited.
Twin of our Fleet Watchdog
Network Watchdog
Watches your AVL, ticketing, BODS and passenger information feeds. One alert per fault, never a flood.
Twin of our Brain Diary
The Shift Log
What happened on your network yesterday, written up with every fact sourced.
Twin of our Competitor Harvest
Supplier Health Watch
The financial exposure of the operators and suppliers you rely on, or compete with.
Twin of our Funding Harvest
Funding Tracker
Where the bus, zero-emission and local transport money is, by authority.
Twin of our Bus Registration Harvest
Service Change Watch
A registered service is cancelled or changed: a gap opens, and a tender may follow.
How it's built
Deterministic where it counts. Generative where it helps.
Agents on an ontology, not a pile of PDFs
Tenders, claims, outcomes, contracts and KPIs are typed, linked objects with a state machine. The agents reason over the objects, not over loose documents.
The model is one voter. Never the judge.
Every document is classified from its metadata, deterministic rules and a model vote. Confidence is anchored to evidence, never to the model's opinion of itself.
Release, hedge or abstain
Every claim carries a truth state. Strong evidence is released, thin evidence is hedged, no evidence means it says so. A weak claim degrades; the answer does not.
The doer never checks itself
Every agent has a separate checker: deterministic checks first, a different model second. Golden tests run against the live AI every night.
What the agents run on
YourTransportBrain.
- Layer one Open transport data, joined into one transport ontology and indexed for AI.
- Layer two Your private data on top, read for you alone.
- The wall Your data never leaves, and never trains anyone else's agents.
From our customers
In their words.
-
True innovation is rare to find, but we feel we found that in economAIcs. They take on board our ideas and come back with solutions that are five steps ahead. The data we now have at our fingertips, used to inform big decisions, is more powerful than we even thought possible.
Transport Operator · Founding Cohort
-
We always used to arrive at bids late, using guesswork and hours trawling through previous bids. Our output has doubled while our input has halved. We can fully trust the output and its compliance, and it lets us bid with a new-found energy.
