The State of AI for Buying and Selling Raw MaterialsThe State of AI for Buying and Selling Raw Materials

AI is the loudest conversation in industry today, and raw material markets are no exception. Behind the headlines, adoption is early. Nearly every company is experimenting, and the industry is still working out what belongs in daily practice.

The bottleneck usually sits in the data. In raw material commerce, the commercial knowledge behind every deal lives in emails, phone calls, and spreadsheets, while ERP systems might miss the full picture. The more places that context is scattered across, the harder it becomes for any AI assistant to work with it precisely.

In this MetalshubTalks webinar, we take an honest look at where AI genuinely helps buyers and sellers of raw materials today. We show how Metalshub turns plain text into structured enquiries, which is already running with selected customers, and we give a first live showcase of the Metalshub MCP connector, which lets a company’s own AI assistant work directly with its Metalshub data.

The discussion explores:

• What AI is commonly used for across metals, mining and recycling today
• What a company needs in place before AI can answer a real procurement or sales question
• Why structured data is what makes an AI answer trustworthy
• How Metalshub turns plain text into a structured deal, and what is already running
• A first live look at the MCP connector, and what becomes possible when a company’s own AI can reach its Metalshub data

MetalshubTalks host Davide Nava is joined by Dr Sebastian Kreft, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Metalshub, and Julien Dedek, Head of AI Platform at Metalshub, for a conversation that combines market reality, product direction, and a live showcase.

Join the conversation for an honest look at how AI will change the way raw materials are bought and sold.

This session is designed for procurement leaders, commercial and sales teams, traders, supply chain managers, and anyone evaluating what AI realistically means for raw material markets.
