Beye® (beye.ai) is a conversational AI layer above systems of record for distributors, logistics providers and manufacturers. We remove the complexity of working with siloed, messy data and help operations, supply chain and finance leaders get from question to answer in hours instead of weeks. Our platform sits a layer above your existing systems, connects data from tools like ERP, WMS, TMS and spreadsheets and models it to how your business actually works. Beye® handles the hard data work behind the scenes, pulling it together, joining it and checking it against your business rules and KPIs. Teams work in a conversational workspace, ask questions in plain language and get answers they can trust instead of waiting on tickets or stitching reports across multiple dashboards. Our forward deployed team uses a proven AI playbook. We start with one high impact business case, sit with your people to understand current workflows and definitions and stand up a configured workspace in about a week. From there we expand to use cases like inventory and service levels, freight and margin, supplier performance and working capital so decision workflows are unblocked and reliable data becomes part of everyday work. If you want a practical way to use AI to speed up decisions from data, visit beye.ai or email sales@beye.ai.

Our foundation supports the UA Bronx Academy of Letters, which is located in the Mott Haven neighborhood of the South Bronx, our country's poorest congressional district — three miles from Manhattan's Upper East Side. When the school opened its doors as a high school in September 2003, our founders – a dedicated team of students, parents, teachers, and community leaders – were united by a single idea: Students who can express themselves clearly in writing can do better in any path they choose in life. Today, our rigorous, college-preparatory academic program spans grades six through twelve. Our core curriculum is standards-based, with an intense focus on developing literacy and driving social change across the disciplines. It includes honors and AP courses, master-level arts electives, externships, and independent study courses.
