Horizon is your intelligent assistant for navigating the complex, fast-moving world of agricultural sourcing and commodity risk. It's not just a chatbot — it's a purpose-built analyst designed to help procurement and trading professionals make smarter, faster decisions using Helios’s trusted data.

Horizon is capable of:

  • Answering complex commodity questions with Helios-powered data (e.g., “What’s the 12-month forecast for cocoa futures?” or “What’s the WA%R in Ghana this season?”)

  • Explaining price drivers and climate impact, not just reporting them

  • Suggesting procurement or trading actions, such as when to buy or hedge

  • Recalling previous research for users who opt into memory

  • Personalizing answers based on user role (e.g. trader vs. sustainability lead)

It supports features like:

  • Multi-conversation memory

  • Citations for all data

  • Source-level transparency

  • In-line calculations

  • Risk alerts and season comparisons

  • Trade signals with rationale

  • Exportable analysis and saved prompts

Unlike generic AI tools, Horizon is tuned to the real questions buyers and traders ask every day. It's trained on:

  • Helios's structured datasets (climate, trade, supply, pricing)

  • Commodity-specific models built for procurement, not finance

  • Your role—Horizon adapts responses depending on whether you're a buyer, trader, or sustainability lead

You’ll always know where the data comes from, and you’ll see recommendations backed by real signals—not speculation.

Horizon’s goal is to replace the need for human analysts for many repeatable, data-intensive tasks, like:

  • Price and risk comparisons

  • Seasonal sourcing strategy

  • Trading setup and rationale building

  • Climate risk interpretation

  • Weekly supplier update prep

Horizon can do the work of a normal analyst faster, with more context, and grounded in Helios’s proprietary intelligence.
