O2 AI

AI decision layer for hardware supply chains.

O2 is supply chain AI for electronics: a BOM agent that reads your RFQs and supplier replies, checks your stock, and works out how to quote. The BOM is where cost, risk, and margin really get decided, and most teams still handle it by hand.O2 is supply chain AI for electronics: a BOM agent that reads your RFQs and supplier replies, checks your stock, and works out how to quote.

RFQ & BOM Intake

Reads the RFQ however it lands, whether that's an email, a BOM, a spreadsheet, or an ERP export, and files it as one clean record.

Margin is decided before the quote exists.

O2 does the thinking before the customer sees a number: which suppliers to trust, what to substitute, how much stock you're sitting on, and whether the deal is worth winning.

O2 Lab

O2 Lab is where the research happens. We take work on world models and agents and turn it into software that has to hold up under real constraints, and that gets better at your workflow the more it runs.

Our research partners and Berkeley accelerator backing, focused on world models and agents for physical-goods workflows.
Published
Peer research with Northwestern’s MLL Lab (arXiv, 2026) on budget-aware agents under cost, time, and capacity constraints. Read more on the O2 Lab page.
Agent foundations
Agents that understand, act, learn, and self-regulate.
An agent doing real industrial work has a lot to weigh at once: cost, time, privacy, whether the tools it calls are reliable, and what the business actually needs.
Vision
The system of record for revenue decisions.
O2 starts with the BOM and builds up a memory of your decisions from there.

Questions, answered.

What is O2 AI?

O2 AI is an AI decision layer for hardware supply chains. It turns every RFQ, BOM, supplier reply, inventory signal, and past order into reusable decision intelligence so hardware and electronics teams can source, price, and quote faster with protected margin.

What does O2 AI do with a Bill of Materials (BOM)?

O2 normalizes a BOM into structured part intelligence: it cleans MPNs and manufacturers, resolves quantities and alternates, flags lifecycle and end-of-life (EOL) risk, and applies approved-vendor logic. It then ranks sourcing options by price, availability, lead time, and reliability.

Who is O2 AI for?

O2 AI is built for hardware and electronics teams that handle RFQs, BOM sourcing, supplier quoting, and distribution, including procurement, sourcing, and sales engineering teams at component distributors, EMS providers, and OEMs.

How does O2 AI improve margin?

O2 moves judgment upstream. Supplier risk, approved substitutes, inventory exposure, cost ranges, and win probability are evaluated before the customer sees a number, which typically yields a 2–5% margin uplift per quote.

What inputs does O2 AI accept?

O2 ingests emails, BOMs, PDFs, spreadsheets, supplier quotes, inventory sheets, and ERP exports, and converts them into structured opportunity records ready for sourcing and pricing decisions.

How fast is O2 AI’s time-to-quote?

O2 reduces time-to-quote to roughly 2–6 hours from messy BOM, RFQ, supplier, and inventory inputs to a reviewed quote path, and lets teams process 3–4× more RFQs because the judgment layer is prepared before review begins.

How is O2 AI different from BOM management tools and component databases?

O2 AI is a decision layer, not a parts catalog or database. Where BOM tools and component databases surface prices, lifecycle status, and availability, O2 turns those signals, together with your RFQs, supplier replies, inventory, and past orders, into recommended sourcing paths, substitutes, pricing, and bid/no-bid decisions, then remembers each outcome to improve the next quote.

Can O2 AI help manage component obsolescence and EOL risk?

Yes. O2 flags lifecycle and end-of-life (EOL) risk on every BOM line, proposes approved alternates and substitutes, and factors obsolescence and inventory exposure into sourcing and pricing decisions, so risk is caught before the quote goes out, not after the order fails. The risk is structural: 621,909 electronic parts went end-of-life in 2025 and 52% shipped with no manufacturer change notice (Z2Data).

Does O2 AI work for EMS providers and distributors quoting from customer BOMs?

Yes. O2 is built for EMS providers, contract manufacturers, and component distributors that quote from messy, inconsistent customer BOMs and RFQs. It parses inbound RFQs into structured records, cleans the BOM, ranks supply, and drafts the customer quote and supplier inquiries.

Is O2 AI a supply chain AI platform?

Yes. O2 AI is supply chain AI built specifically for electronics: it applies AI to the sourcing, pricing, and risk decisions in the BOM-to-order workflow. Unlike general supply-chain-visibility tools, O2 works at the part level: reading BOMs, RFQs, supplier replies, and inventory signals, and recommending the sourcing path, substitutes, and quote.

What is a BOM agent?

A BOM agent is an AI agent that works a bill of materials end-to-end: cleaning MPNs, flagging lifecycle and EOL risk, finding approved alternates, ranking supply options, and drafting the quote. O2 AI operates as a BOM agent for electronics teams: it acts on the BOM and learns from every outcome, rather than just storing part data.

How do I get a demo of O2 AI?

Book a demo by emailing hello@o2tech.ai with one real BOM, RFQ, or supplier quote. O2 will show how it structures the decision, flags risk, recommends sourcing paths, and learns from the outcome.
