    Arc Agent Commerce

    Arc Agent Commerce

    Arc Agent Commerce is a platform that lets users deploy, fund, and manage a fleet of specialized AI agent nodes that can autonomously pay for compute, APIs, data scraping, and content generation in real time using USDC on Arc. Instead of wiring together dozens of services manually, users create “missions” with clear budgets and policies, and the agents handle the rest: they discover tools, call external APIs, and settle micro‑transactions with deterministic sub‑second finality. Each node has its own wallet and spending limits, so teams can safely orchestrate high‑frequency tasks like market monitoring, lead generation, social media operations, or research pipelines without worrying about runaway costs. The platform provides a single dashboard to track agent status, real‑time balances, and detailed transaction logs, making AI operations auditable and enterprise‑ready. By combining Arc’s programmable payments with autonomous AI agents, Arc Agent Commerce turns “agents that talk” into agents that can actually pay, unlocking a new class of always‑on, revenue‑generating AI services.

    AI-Powered Support Ticket Router

    AI-Powered Support Ticket Router

    The Support Ticket Router is an automated agent leveraging IBM watsonx Orchestrate to revolutionize IT helpdesk workflows. This system accepts incoming support requests and uses generative AI to classify ticket priority (URGENT, NORMAL, LOW) based on the message content. It then generates a tailored, empathetic response and automatically routes tickets to the appropriate Slack channel for immediate attention by specialized teams. This solution minimizes manual triage, accelerates first response time, and ensures that the most critical issues are never overlooked. By combining AI-powered text analysis, workflow automation, and real-time notifications, this project demonstrates a scalable blueprint for next-generation IT support operations and provides a measurable boost in operational efficiency.

    RhinoGuardians AI-Powered Real-Time Detection

    RhinoGuardians AI-Powered Real-Time Detection

    RhinoGuardians addresses the urgent crisis of black rhino extinction by deploying an AI-powered surveillance and alert system. Using drones and camera traps, it captures live imagery that is analyzed instantly by a YOLOv5 computer vision model to detect rhinos, poachers, and vehicles with over 95% accuracy and sub-second latency. Detected threats are geo-tagged and immediately sent as alerts to ranger teams via SMS, email, and an interactive dashboard, enabling rapid response before poachers strike. The system is scalable across reserves, open-source, and designed to revolutionize conservation efforts by combining cutting-edge AI, real-time monitoring, and actionable intelligence, ultimately saving one of Africa’s most iconic species from extinction.

    PhishGuard

    PhishGuard

    PhishGuard is an interactive cybersecurity awareness and training dashboard built to combat one of the most common cyber threats today: phishing. The platform generates simulated phishing emails and challenges users to identify whether they are legitimate or malicious. Each attempt is logged with timestamps, performance scores, and accuracy rates, providing users with measurable feedback on their ability to detect threats. The system includes features such as a security score tracker, recent simulation history, and detailed performance analytics. By gamifying phishing detection, PhishGuard makes learning engaging and practical, preparing users for real-world scenarios where a single click can lead to serious consequences. The solution is designed with scalability in mind, allowing future integration with AI models (e.g., Gemini or OpenAI) to dynamically generate unique phishing emails, ensuring continuous variety and difficulty levels. PhishGuard is a lightweight but impactful tool aimed at both individuals and organizations who want to raise awareness, reduce risk, and build resilience against phishing attacks.
