We are proud to announce the launch of our latest suite of AI-driven tools designed to automate and enhance data processing for commodity market professionals. The new tools – AI Transformer, AI Parser, and AI Summarizer – are set to redefine the way analysts handle unstructured data, offering unparalleled speed, accuracy, and efficiency.
Commodity market professionals are faced with vast amounts of unstructured data spread across PDFs, industry reports, newsletters, emails, and social media platforms like X/Twitter. Extracting, structuring, and analyzing this information is often manual, time-consuming, and prone to errors, delaying critical decision-making.
“Our vision was straightforward - to create an AI tool that efficiently processes unstructured data according to predefined schemas, giving them a standardized format. With this approach, information becomes significantly more readable and can be effectively stored in a Data Lake, paving the way for its reuse in future analyses” – said Norbert Kocoń, Data Scientist at NorthGravity.
NorthGravity’s AI suite consists of three core solutions, each addressing a specific pain point in the data processing workflow:
Each of these tools has been developed to streamline workflows for commodity traders and analysts, reducing the time spent on data handling and increasing the accuracy of extracted insights.
“The most significant technical hurdle in developing our AI Tools was ensuring response accuracy. When dealing with complex commodity market data, the AI models would sometimes "hallucinate" – generating plausible-sounding but factually incorrect information“ Norbert Kocoń notes.
That’s why NorthGravity’s AI models incorporate Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to enhance response accuracy by grounding outputs in verified industry data sources.
“In simple terms, RAG is like giving our AI a specialized research assistant. Before answering questions, the AI searches through our curated database of reliable commodity market information, retrieves the most relevant facts, and then uses this verified information to generate accurate responses. This significantly reduces hallucinations by grounding the AI's answers in factual data” – Norbert continues.
Additionally, the tools leverage large language models with expanded context windows, allowing them to process entire documents cohesively, recognize patterns across large datasets, and maintain consistency in analysis.
“One of our best-kept secrets? Our outstanding Data Science team. They don’t just master cutting-edge tools. Instead of passively tracking trends, they dive headfirst into pioneering research – constantly testing new methods and challenging the status quo” – said Travis Nadelhoffer, CEO at NorthGravity.
The core philosophy behind our AI Tools was to democratize data processing capabilities. We designed our solution specifically to enable commodity analysts without technical backgrounds to create sophisticated automation workflows. Users can define data extraction rules, set automation parameters, and generate reports through an intuitive, no-code interface. By using a simple drag-and-drop interface, analysts can for example:
This accessibility ensures that even professionals without a technical background can use AI-powered automation seamlessly in their daily workflows.
At NorthGravity we are committed to the continuous evolution of our AI Tools. As technology advances, our solutions will expand to handle even more complex data formats, including audio from analyst calls and video content. Future enhancements will not only streamline data extraction but also introduce deeper contextual analysis, enabling analysts to gain faster, more accurate insights with minimal manual effort.
