Thomas the Tank Engine

Our hackathon project is also about design. A floating chat available across the entire platform? Easy. A live AI assistant always ready to help? Right there. We wanted AI to feel natural, visible, and seamlessly integrated into the workflow — not hidden behind dashboards and menus. And honestly… look at it shine like a diamond :gem:

Introducing our hackathon pitch 🚀 We built an AI-powered analytics experience embedded directly into the procurement workflow. Instead of static dashboards, users receive contextual recommendations and actionable insights in real time while making sourcing decisions. Our solution helps procurement teams identify savings opportunities, optimize supplier decisions, and improve sourcing efficiency through proactive procurement intelligence.

We completed the prototype and are now polishing the UI.
