Burnt has raised $3.8 million in seed funding to develop an AI-powered operating system aimed at automating repetitive tasks in the food supply chain, announced in a press release. The funding round was led by Penny Jar Capital, with participation from Scribble Ventures, Formation VC, and other prominent investors.

Burnt's platform is designed to work with existing legacy systems, automating monotonous workflows without replacing them. This approach allows the company to capture orders from various sources and input the data into existing ERP systems more efficiently. Currently, Burnt processes over $10 million worth of orders monthly for its initial customers, which include top food distributors across meat, seafood, and specialty foods.

The startup's first AI agent, Ozai, automates the order-entry process, handling up to 80% of workflows that are typically stuck in outdated systems. This innovation aims to streamline operations in the food supply chain, a sector known for its complexity and reliance on manual processes.
