ORQON is a Headless AI Agent built on IBM watsonx Orchestrate that bridges the gap between speed and compliance. Unlike passive chatbots that wait for text input, ORQON is an active, listener-first system. By integrating IBM Watson Speech-to-Text, it ingests live broker audio to execute, validate, and audit trades at the speed of voice. How It Works: Leveraging the Model Context Protocol (MCP), we decoupled the AI "Brain" from the UI. A secure Python FastAPI middleware coordinates specialized agents—powered by the IBM Granite 3-8B-Instruct model—to perform distinct tasks: Smart Order Entry: The AI listens to the call and auto-fills complex trade tickets instantly, eliminating manual data entry. Real-Time Guardrails: Before a trade is submitted, ORQON calculates a live "Compliance Score" by comparing the trade against the client’s KYC profile in ChromaDB. If a violation is detected (e.g., "Unsolicited Risky Trade"), the system physically locks the execution button, preventing the fine from occurring. Automated Reporting: Using DataStax Astra DB for RAG, the agent auto-generates SEC-compliant audit logs and client portfolio PDFs immediately after the call. ORQON transforms compliance from a reactive punishment into a proactive competitive advantage.
