Envoy AI Launches Ellie Workforce for Autonomous Freight Execution
Envoy AI has launched Ellie Workforce, an operating system for autonomous freight execution. It deploys AI-powered digital workers to manage day-to-day brokerage operations alongside human teams.
San Francisco – Envoy AI announced on July 15, 2026, the launch of Ellie Workforce, a new operating system designed for autonomous freight execution. The system utilizes AI-powered digital workers to handle daily brokerage operations concurrently with human operators.
Ellie Workforce goes beyond automating workflows and supporting decision-making; it enables digital workers to execute tasks autonomously. These tasks include sourcing carriers, negotiating rates, verifying compliance, and monitoring shipments. The system escalates only exceptions requiring human judgment to human teams.
Integrated directly into the browser, Ellie Workforce connects with existing transportation management systems (TMS), email, load boards, and compliance platforms. Its functionality is powered by Envoy AI's Transportation Observability and Action System (TOAS), which continuously gathers operational context and coordinates actions across various systems.
"With Ellie Workforce, we have been able to scale our operations significantly without increasing headcount," said Michael Cherney, CEO of Cooler Logistics. "It enhances carrier booking and allows our team to focus on more strategic tasks."
As the freight industry becomes more complex and labor shortages continue to challenge the sector, solutions like Ellie Workforce offer brokerages a way to improve efficiency and scalability through AI-driven digital workers, while maintaining human oversight.
