Question 1

What is Dairy-Broker.ai?

Accepted Answer

Dairy-Broker.ai is the first ever AI broker built for the global dairy commodity market, paired with a live market intelligence layer. The broker side is Bo, an AI broker who runs on WhatsApp and in the Data Center. Traders brief Bo on what they want to buy or sell, and he sources counterparties across the network, runs the negotiation in the background, and confirms deals end to end. Both sides stay anonymous until the deal is signed. The intelligence side combines live trading activity on the platform with a wide set of external dairy market feeds. Internal prices refresh every 30 seconds. While traditional dairy reporting shows where the market was, Dairy-Broker.ai shows where it is moving right now.

Question 2

Is Bo just another AI chatbot?

Accepted Answer

No. Bo is built specifically for dairy commodity trading, by someone who has spent his career in it. Product specs, incoterms, origins, quality grades, delivery windows, the way deals between traders, producers, coops and industrial buyers actually get structured. Generic AI tools can hold a conversation but do not know the difference between SMP low heat and SMP medium heat, or why EXW Ireland and EXW Portugal are different trades because of freight. Bo does.

Question 3

How does Bo work on WhatsApp day to day?

Accepted Answer

Bo lives in the WhatsApp app you already use. Each morning during the trading day, Monday to Friday from 08:55 Amsterdam time, Bo checks in with a short market read and asks whether you want to participate in the day. You reply on your own time, in your own words. When you brief Bo on a position, in plain language or voice message, he extracts the structure, product, origin, quantity, price and delivery window, asks for anything missing, and goes to work in the background. He pings you when there is something to look at, or when a match is firm and ready to confirm. On weekends Bo stays quiet.

Question 4

Do I always need to place a firm bid, or can Bo watch the market for me?

Accepted Answer

You do not always have to place a firm bid. Bo can work for you in two ways. In the active mode you tell Bo what you want to buy or sell, with the parameters you have in mind, and he sources counterparties and runs the negotiation. In the quiet mode Bo watches the market for products you care about, without an active bid out, and only pings you when something genuinely worth looking at comes up. You can switch from quietly watching to a real bid the moment you want to act.

Question 5

Do I stay in control, or does Bo trade on his own?

Accepted Answer

You stay in control. Bo never closes a deal on his own. Every trade requires you to confirm before it locks in. When Bo finds a match and both sides converge on identical terms, he sends you a clear summary with a short confirmation window. Either party can step back during negotiation, and the trade only fires when both sides commit. Bo only acts within the boundaries you have set, and you can change those boundaries any time, in chat or in the Data Center.

Question 6

How does anonymity work on Dairy-Broker.ai?

Accepted Answer

When you brief Bo on a position, the position is anonymous to the other side of the market. Bo shares product, origin, indicative price band, volume and delivery window. He never shares the company name behind it. When both sides converge on identical terms across product, origin, incoterm, quantity, price and delivery, Bo issues a clear summary with a short confirmation window. Only when both confirm does the identity reveal happen and the trade close. Counterparties are matched on the trade, not on the relationship behind it.

Question 7

Can I block specific counterparties I do not want to deal with?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The block list is a core part of how Dairy-Broker.ai works. You can quietly mark counterparties you would rather not trade with, and Bo never surfaces them in your matches. No list shown to the other side, no notification, no explanation needed. You can update your block list any time, anonymously, in chat or in the Data Center.

Question 8

What live market data does Dairy-Broker.ai offer?

Accepted Answer

The internal side comes from real trading activity on the platform: spot prices for each product refreshing every 30 seconds, platform volume, bid versus offer pressure, trader concentration, sentiment by product, and the relationship between price and sentiment over time. The external side covers the rest of the market: EEX butter and cheese indices, national butter quotations from the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Italy, Poland and Austria, the EEX butter and SMP futures curves, the CME and SGX NZX futures curves, GDT auction data, a calendar of upcoming price events and data releases, and a news feed on recent moves across the major exchanges. A weekly market report and a daily desk report complement the data.

Question 9

How is Dairy-Broker.ai different from market data tools like Vesper or DCA?

Accepted Answer

Tools like Vesper, DCA, StoneX and other dairy market intelligence providers publish data on a weekly, daily or monthly cycle. Dairy-Broker.ai is different in two ways. First, live prices come from actual trading activity on the platform itself, not from surveys or weekly aggregations, which means they refresh every 30 seconds. Second, the same product that generates the data also runs the actual trades. Bo does not just answer questions about the market, he sources counterparties, runs the negotiation, and confirms the deal.

Question 10

What happens after a deal is agreed?

Accepted Answer

When both sides confirm the terms within the firm window, the trade locks in. Counterparty identities reveal at that point. We draft the contract, both sides receive a copy, and both sign. Each trade carries its own reference number for your records. If only part of your original position matched, the remaining volume stays open in your book with the same reference. Hard limits you have shared during a conversation, like a price ceiling, an origin requirement or an incoterm constraint, get applied to your future positions automatically.

Question 11

Does Dairy-Broker.ai handle logistics?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it is free. Logistics has just launched through Linkargo, our transport partner company. Once a deal is confirmed you can hand the load straight over for frigo and food transport matching and booking, or arrange it yourself if you would rather. Linkargo is free for Dairy-Broker customers, with no commission on either side. It is an optional step at the end of the deal, not something you have to use.

Question 12

What dairy products can I trade on Dairy-Broker.ai?

Accepted Answer

Dairy-Broker.ai covers the core dairy commodity range, including butter, lactic and sweet cream, AMF, cheeses such as gouda, edam, emmentaler, cheddar, mozzarella, cagliata and cheddar curd, powders including SMP food and feed, WMP, buttermilk powder, sweet whey powder, WPC 80, WPI 90 and lactose, plus cream, SMC low heat, raw milk and skimmed milk. You can register as a Buyer, Seller, or Both, and update your product list any time.

Question 13

What countries does Dairy-Broker.ai cover?

Accepted Answer

Market intelligence is available worldwide today. Trading is currently focused on Europe. Origins commonly traded include the Netherlands, Germany, France, Poland, Belgium, Ireland, Austria, Italy, Greece, Spain and the United Kingdom. Global trading access opens in a later phase. Bo handles Dutch, German, English and other languages, so language is not a barrier to working across European origins.

Question 14

Who is Dairy-Broker.ai for?

Accepted Answer

Dairy-Broker.ai is built for serious commercial participants in the dairy commodity market. That includes trading houses and position holders, dairy producers and coops, processors with regular output, and industrial buyers such as pizza producers, bakeries, confectionery and infant formula who use dairy commodities as inputs. Every application is reviewed by a human before access is granted.

Question 15

Can my whole team use Dairy-Broker.ai together?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each person on your team gets their own seat with a personal view of their conversations with Bo, their own bids and offers, their own watchlist and settings. Alongside the personal seats there is a unified company level view that pulls everything together: total positions, trade history across the team, and company wide market activity.

Question 16

Is there a free version of Dairy-Broker.ai?

Accepted Answer

Every new account starts with one month of Full Access at no charge, with no payment details required and no commission on trades executed during that month. After that, Trade only carries no subscription at all: €0 per month, with a flat €10 per tonne charged only when you actually trade.

Question 17

How do I get access to Dairy-Broker.ai?

Accepted Answer

Applications go through the apply page. Every applicant is reviewed by a human within 1 to 2 business days. On approval you receive a WhatsApp welcome message from Bo with a single use link to set up your account, and a short orientation on what Bo does and how he handles edge cases. From there you can brief Bo your first bid or offer directly in chat.
