# Applied AI Foundation

> Open source AI infrastructure for industries that move the world

## AI as a public good

Applied AI Foundation builds open source AI systems for industries where intelligence should be shared, not hoarded. Our first focus: **maritime shipping** — an industry that moves 90% of global trade.

## Our philosophy

Traditional enterprise AI locks intelligence behind proprietary walls. We believe the industries that power civilization — shipping, logistics, energy — deserve AI that is:

* **Open** — MIT licensed, no vendor lock-in
* **Persistent** — agents that remember and learn across sessions
* **Collaborative** — multiple agents working as an organization
* **Industry-native** — built with domain expertise, not generic templates
