🧭 Introduction: The Agentic Gap in Maritime

"While ships have become smarter, maritime operations remain surprisingly manual."

From procurement to maintenance, most maritime workflows still rely on spreadsheets, emails, and disconnected systems. Every inefficiency adds up — higher OPEX, slower decisions, and reduced transparency.

At Gaspar AI, we’re on a mission to bridge that gap through AI automation built specifically for maritime operations.

Our Work Assistant platform connects all your apps, systems, and documents into a single intelligent interface — enabling crew and shore-based teams to find, act, and learn instantly.

🚢 Empowering Maritime Operations with Specialized AI Agents

Gaspar AI’s Work Assistant is not just another enterprise tool — it’s a platform that hosts specialized AI Agents designed for maritime processes.

Each agent is:

• ✅ Trained on maritime data models (IMPA, ISM, ISO)
• ✅ Integrated with ERP, PMS, and procurement systems
• ✅ Built to achieve over 90% accuracy in answers and automation

Procurement in shipping is complex. Hundreds of requisitions flow daily between vessels, fleet departments, and suppliers. Each must be checked, coded, compared, and approved — a process still largely manual in most fleets.
