Envoy AI Launches Ellie Workforce, the Operating System for Autonomous Freight Execution

Envoy AI has launched Ellie Workforce, an operating system for autonomous freight execution that deploys AI-powered digital workers to run day-to-day brokerage operations alongside human teams. Built into the browser, Ellie sources carriers, negotiates rates, verifies compliance, and monitors shipments, escalating only the exceptions that require human judgment.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Envoy AI today announced the launch of Ellie Workforce, the operating system for autonomous freight execution that transforms AI from a set of point tools into a workforce capable of executing operational work at enterprise scale.

“Since deploying Ellie, we’ve unlocked a new level of scale without increasing our headcount,” said Michael Cherney, Co-Founder and CEO of Cooler Logistics.

Rather than helping teams work faster through workflow automation and decision-support tools, Ellie Workforce takes a different approach by enabling autonomous digital workers to execute freight operations alongside human teams. From sourcing and engaging carriers to negotiating rates, verifying compliance, collecting documents, coordinating communications, and monitoring shipment progress, Ellie manages day-to-day execution while escalating exceptions that require human judgment.

Built directly into the browser, Ellie Workforce integrates with transportation management systems (TMS), email, load boards, carrier networks, and compliance platforms so teams can work within their existing workflows. The platform is powered by Envoy AI’s Transportation Observability and Action System (TOAS), which continuously builds operational context and coordinates actions across connected systems.

“Every generation of business creates a new leadership discipline,” said Robert Nathan, CEO and Co-Founder of Envoy AI, whose experience spans freight brokerage, transportation technology, and investments across the logistics ecosystem. “The next one is learning how to lead machines. Ellie Workforce is built for that shift. It performs the work, and your best operators direct it. The teams that learn this first won’t just be more efficient. They’ll be running operations their competitors can’t match.”

Ellie Workforce builds on a series of capabilities Envoy AI introduced over the past year, including:

Ellie Verified: Carrier verification and fraud prevention embedded directly into freight workflows through integrations with Highway and MyCarrierPortal.Carrier Match: AI-powered carrier outreach and scoring that identifies, engages, and ranks the best-fit carriers for each shipment.Adaptive Rate Negotiation Intelligence: Configurable negotiation strategies and pricing guardrails designed to improve carrier coverage while protecting margins.Ellie TrustFlow: Real-time controls that govern how AI engages carriers based on strategic relationships, lane preferences, and business rules.Ellie Pulse: Shipment tracking and exception monitoring that keeps freight teams informed with real-time visibility and proactive updates throughout transit.Browser-Native Operational Intelligence: Carrier insights, verification status, workflow prioritization, and productivity analytics surfaced directly within existing workflows.Virtual Teammate Capabilities: Autonomous carrier outreach, inbound communication management, document collection, and shipment follow-through.

“Since deploying Ellie, we’ve unlocked a new level of scale without increasing our headcount,” said Michael Cherney, Co-Founder and CEO of Cooler Logistics. “Even as the market tightens, Ellie empowers our team to book loads faster by handling the heavy lifting of carrier sales. Our reps can stop managing the ‘busy work’ and start focusing on execution.”

As freight markets become more complex and labor constraints continue to challenge the industry, many logistics organizations are evaluating how autonomous technologies can improve operational efficiency. Ellie Workforce gives brokerages a way to deploy AI-powered digital workers that execute alongside experienced operators while maintaining human oversight and decision-making.

The launch of Ellie Workforce reflects Envoy AI’s vision for the future of freight operations, one where transportation professionals become the Bosses of Machines, leading strategy, guiding outcomes, and overseeing autonomous digital workers that execute routine operational work at scale.

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The American Council of the Blind is proud to partner with Meta and the Blinded Veterans Association (BVA) to distribute Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses to eligible veterans who are blind during the upcoming 2026 ACB Conference and Convention in St. Louis.

The distribution will take place on Monday, July 27, from 1 to 5 p.m. CT at the Hyatt St. Louis at The Arch in downtown St. Louis. Eligible veterans can receive Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses at no cost while supplies last and a complimentary day pass to the ACB convention for July 27.

The initiative is part of Meta’s commitment to donate Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses to 130,000 blinded veterans worldwide, expanding access to technology that can support greater independence, access to information, and everyday tasks. As a distribution partner, ACB will also provide access to training resources for veterans receiving Meta glasses.
