Singapore-based Greywing has introduced SeaGPT, an AI chatbot designed to assist shipping companies with port communication.

CEO Nick Clarke said SeaGPT is set out to solve the number one challenge of crew managers: email overwhelm.

With SeaGPT, the startup said fleet managers can access necessary port, immigration, and travel information for crew changes by sending a query to SeaGPT via email or Greywing’s platform.

Users can interact with the AI-powered chatbot through a message or the push-to-talk voice feature, with potential future integrations including Slack, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, and SMS.

Crew managers need to understand changing immigration restrictions for different nationalities in various countries and ports worldwide. SeaGPT is expected to handle conversations in several languages, allowing easier translation and communication for crew members.

According to Hrishi Olickel, Greywing’s CTO, SeaGPT’s text-based design can accommodate connectivity constraints, enabling it to be used via low-data communication channels such as SMS and WhatsApp.

Greywing also promises that SeaGPT will not suffer from hallucinations.
