The concept of combining artificial intelligence and blockchain technology in food supply chains might seem strange at first glance, but Intellex sees it as an opportunity to revolutionize supply chain management. In an interview with the company’s co-founder and CTO, Omar Sadoun, we explore the project’s mechanics and its ambition to connect food producers with restaurants via a decentralized ecosystem of intelligent agents.

The Idea and Launch
Intellex was born out of a real need in the food supply chain sector, where major companies face the problem of not sharing data with each other out of fear that their secrets will be exposed. To overcome this hurdle, Intellex seeks to aggregate data and leverage it through artificial intelligence without violating corporate privacy.
Combining AI and Blockchain
Intellex’s vision is based on merging the “probabilistic factor” in artificial intelligence systems with the “deterministic factor” in blockchain. This makes the outputs generated by AI transparent and verifiable. The company emphasizes that the concept of decentralization ensures fair participation among all parties, preventing any single entity from taking sole control over the operation of intelligent systems.
Tools for Customers: “Activators”
Intellex offers what it calls “Activators,” which are autonomous AI agents that help companies solve problems such as demand forecasting, transportation route planning, and sales optimization. What’s new is the mechanism for funding these agents through token holders (INTX), where investors can inject tokens into the Activators and receive returns based on the agent’s performance.
Mutual Benefit and Incentive System
Intellex creates a knowledge marketplace where data and information are exchanged in return for financial incentives. The company doesn’t just sell traditional software; it provides an open space for the community to contribute to building and developing intelligent agents, allowing problem-solving solutions to spread across various sectors.
Upcoming Launch and Future Directions
Intellex has set a time window of 3 to 6 weeks to launch its Token Generation Event (TGE) for the INTX token. Immediately upon launch, the company aims to attract 10–15 enterprise clients across multiple sectors, starting with food services. It also plans to expand its network to build tailored artificial intelligence ecosystems for major industries.
Expected Role in Supply Chain Management
A simple example put forward by Sadoun is the journey of a “tomato” from the farm to the pizza at a restaurant. The companies involved will use the Intellex platform to collaborate and share information via intelligent agents, without fear of revealing confidential information. Blockchain ensures the credibility of operations, while AI provides solutions to reduce waste and plan more efficient operations.
Challenges and Obstacles
Decentralized artificial intelligence is still considered a new concept and may face hurdles in adoption by traditional enterprises. In addition, security and data protection remain a continuous concern. However, Sadoun emphasizes that Intellex’s commitment to auditing smart contracts and continuously following up with cybersecurity teams demonstrates its pursuit of building a strong reputation.
