About Bol.ai

Stop retyping Bills of Lading. Upload a BOL as PDF, scan or photo and get structured data in seconds, parties, ports, containers, weights. JSON, CSV & API. The Bill of Lading is our specialty, and we read the documents that travel with it. Built for the daily reality of freight forwarders and customs brokers: stacks of carrier BOLs that someone has to key into the system. Every container number is checked against its ISO 6346 check digit, dates and weights against plausibility rules, suspect fields are flagged, never silently wrong.

About Contextual

A local-first AI context engine with semantic search, temporal recall, and on-device indexing. A context engine that runs entirely on your machine, indexed, queryable, and aware of how your repository changed over time. ▸ nexus_search (query="why did we switch the webhook signer to HMAC-SHA512?", intent="mixed") . Contextual is engineered around the smallest set of ideas that make a codebase searchable through time, on a single laptop, without sending anything out. Ask "what did this file mean last quarter?" and walk the answer backwards.
