Guardrails

Guardrails

Every line is checked against the kitchen’s permission slip. The result is always one of three things, with a sentence a chef can read: order alone, ask a person, or stop.

The same checks run in the kitchen app and again at Valio’s door, so nothing slips through on trust alone. We proved it with 29 / 29 attack cases refused.

9/9PolicyResult: outcome needs_approval (the worst line), each line with its reasons, the order's reasons, and the rules skipped for lack of data.

Understanding

Understanding the ask

AI reads the request (text, voice, or photo), matches products, and writes explanations. Prices, quantities, risk, and carbon always come from code. The model never invents numbers.

If it is unsure about a match, that line waits for a person.

See AI models.

Telegram · voice · photo

From the floor

Order and approve without going back to a desk: text, voice note, or a photo of a label. Same rules as the website. Typing “yes” in chat is not enough; approvals are still signed.

See Telegram & voice.

Open connector

Open connector

Any other company’s buying software can search, quote, check rules, and place an order through the same Valio door we use, with the same signatures and the same refusals.

See Open connector.

Risk & carbon

Delivery risk and carbon

Every line gets an on-time score and a carbon figure where Valio provides one. Modes like greenest or safest change priorities; diet and spend limits still win. If stock is short, a fixed ladder tries alternatives before asking a person.

Weights for balanced: cost 0.3, OTIF 0.25, fit 0.25, carbon 0.1, nutrition 0.1. Modes change weights, never constraints: diet rules, budget and the OTIF bar always apply.

Kitchen memory

Kitchen knowledge

Each kitchen owns its diet, dishes, menu plan, preferences, and standing orders. Diet rules are loaded in full every time, never “almost remembered.”

Next: a shared database and smarter product search. Safety rules stay complete every run.

Learning

Getting better

It remembers products you swap to and adjusts portions from “too much / too little.” It will not change diet or budget by itself. That needs a new signed slip from the human client.

Order flow

From ask to cart

A fixed sequence: understand → quantities → match → quote → packs → score → exceptions → check → cart. Progress streams live on screen so you see what is happening.

11/11Done. cartId sent; the client opens the cart.

Visibility

Visibility

Today: technical traces plus a readable audit log with shared ids.
Next: clearer dashboards for where time and cost go, still only for watching, never for approving spend.
