Junction 2026 · Valio Aimo: Trusted Trade Agents
What do you need? We'll sort it out. That's a mandate.
Mandate plans a kitchen's order from Valio Aimo's catalogue, finds substitutes when products run out, and orders on its own only within the chef's mandate. Everything else waits for a person, with the reason.
Every visitor gets a private sandbox. Nothing is sent to Valio Aimo.
From a menu to a Valio Aimo order
Start from wherever you are: a dish, a full menu, an event or one missing item. Mandate turns it into an order your rules allow.
Saturday: a Christmas buffet for 140, and two items are short
The ham and the swede casserole can't be bought as listed, and the order has to go in before the cut-off. Today the chef copies order templates into a cart by hand. An agent can find replacements, but the kitchen also has to set what the agent may buy without asking.

Every door goes through the same checks
The kitchen screen, the chat, MCP and REST all call one gate, which checks the kitchen's limits in code when an order is placed.
Who asks
- Kitchen screen the chef
- Chat our agent
- MCP your agent
- REST your code
One gate
- The mandatewhat the agent may buy alone, and what the chef never delegates
- Spend caps and a hard limitheld even when an order is split
- The exact termsa price or quantity change voids the approval
- Cut-off and pack sizesa passed cut-off or a part pack is refused
What happens
- Ordered, with one receipt
- Held for a person, with the reason
- Refused, with the reason
Products whose stock Valio Aimo doesn't state are labelled unknown and never counted as covered. See how it's built
Connect your own agent over MCP or REST
Your agent gets the same tools over MCP and REST as ours, inside your own sandbox. It can plan and place orders; every line it orders waits for the chef. It has no approve tool, and a call to approve is refused.
Get a key. Open app.mandate.kitchen/agents to mint one for your sandbox.
Connect. Point any MCP client at
https://app.mandate.kitchen/mcp/k/<key>.Start. Call
get_context, then ask it to plan the buffet. Then ask it to approve.
What each partner does in Mandate

- A Worker keeps each browser on one app machine
Also in the build
NVIDIA
Nemotron 3.5 Super VL reads a photo of a menu or a delivery note.
- Wired, not live: its endpoint isn't deployed yet
Verda
The GPU cloud for that vision model, our fallback host and the scale-out target.
- Ready, not in use on the deployed app
Featherless
An open model behind the same port.
- Gemma, chosen by one setting
- Optional, not used on the deployed app
What's real, what's simulated
Each screen in the app carries the same labels.
- RealValio Aimo's catalogue, and live price and availability calls for shortlisted products, cached with the time fetched.
- SimulatedThe booking, the clock, stock on hand, recipes, and the order itself. Valio Aimo's API has no order endpoint, so nothing is sent to Valio Aimo.
- ModelsGemini reads requests, proposes menus and scores how well each substitute fits the dish. Every check that decides what may be ordered runs in plain code. A model can add a caution that holds a line, never one that allows it.
