Cotton AI isn't an idea from a lab. It's built by practitioners who've spent years on the trading side of this industry — and partnered with world-class AI engineers to turn that experience into software.
Omer brings a unique combination of quantitative finance training, hands-on commodity trading experience, and AI product development to Cotton AI. His background spans both sides of the cotton market — the trading floor and the analytics lab.
Through YS Group, Omer has been immersed in the mechanics of international cotton indenting — origin selection, basis negotiation, fixation timing, and the commercial relationships that move raw materials across continents. Cotton AI was born from seeing firsthand how much value is lost when these decisions are made without data.
Our partnership with YS Group gives us access to decades of cotton fixation data. Our predictive models are trained on over a million metric tons from the last 5 years — the most relevant window for current market conditions.
Led by Garry Ma, Ample Insight is a Toronto-based AI and engineering firm building Cotton AI's product — from AI pipeline and model architecture to data science and full-stack development.
