Vendor Intake Copilot

Vendor Intake Copilot is a Watson-native enterprise agent that turns a messy vendor intake or vendor backlog into a first-pass decision brief, with clear reasoning, a weighted scorecard, supporting citations, and a clean downstream handoff. The workflow starts from either a single vendor request or a CSV backlog import. The system cleans and normalizes the intake, pulls live external evidence on each vendor, checks that against internal security and procurement requirements, and produces a structured CASE packet with decision status, risk tier, blockers, missing evidence, recommended controls, and next owner. IBM watsonx Orchestrate is the user-facing UI and orchestration layer. Redis provides the durable retrieval and review context layer for internal policy, prior review memory, and case continuity. Tavily provides live web research and extraction so the agent can ground vendor decisions in current public evidence rather than generic model guesses. For the demo, we show: CSV backlog preview and cleanup warnings, shortlist generation, queue summary, individual case review, citations, and a downstream Slack handoff packet for the next team. The point is to compress a slow cross-functional vendor review workflow into a faster, auditable first pass without removing the human approval gate.

ContractIQ

ContractIQ

We built ContractIQ, a 6-agent procurement workflow that turns contract documents into a decision-ready renewal package. IBM watsonx Orchestrate manages the full agent flow, including routing, parallel execution, confidence checks, and approval gates. Redis powers workflow state, inter-agent messaging, audit history, and cached memory across the pipeline. Tavily brings in live external research like vendor pricing, market signals, and competitive alternatives to ground the final recommendation.

Midas

Midas

OpenClaw Finance Agent — Enterprise AI that learns your business without seeing your secrets. Finance teams want AI that understands their vendor patterns, approval workflows, and GL structures — but compliance (GDPR, SOX, CCPA) blocks them from exposing sensitive data to train it. The result is that companies only use AI for suggestions. It's too risky to let it actually execute anything. We built a local-first AI system that solves this with comprehensive tokenization. Before any AI model sees the data, every sensitive field is replaced with a structural token. Microsoft Corp becomes VENDOR_001[TIER_LARGE]. $150,000 becomes AMT_LARGE[CFO]. Employee emails become APPROVER_LEVEL_CFO. PII is never extracted in the first place — it doesn't enter the pipeline at all. The model learns your company's patterns from tokens alone. The system uses two-tier AI routing. A locally fine-tuned model (LoRA on Mistral 7B, 4-bit quantized) handles 80% of routine tasks like invoice processing, spend analysis, and GL posting — under 500ms at $0.01 per task. Complex reasoning like forecasting and risk analysis routes to Claude API at $0.50 per task. Smart routing decides based on task complexity and model confidence. Every AI decision passes through MCP governance servers before execution. Is the approver authorized for this amount? Is the GL account valid? Is there budget available? Are there any policy violations? All gates must pass before the system acts. Every decision is logged to an immutable, hash-chained audit trail stored in tokens — not real data. SOX compliant by design. The architecture runs two isolated AI agents: Hermes handles coding and infrastructure (Docker, GitHub, codebase intelligence, Doppler secrets), while Midas handles financial analysis and compliance (governance, audit, GL validation, Tavily research, Redis). Each agent has its own Claude Code CLI wrapper and dedicated MCP servers. Namespace isolation ensures Hermes never touches financial governance and Midas never touches infrastructure. Training improves continuously through three channels: Tavily batch-researches public financial data, the /dream command generates synthetic training examples on demand, and Honcho from Plastic Labs automatically optimizes prompts based on real usage patterns. The system gets smarter with every interaction. Custom AI trained on your tokenized data. Runs on a laptop. Zero cost per local query. Full compliance audit trail. Policy-governed execution. Built in 48 hours for the IBM Hackathon, Procurement and Finance Track. https://www.loom.com/share/d05ac73cb5f94fb1b2ad99df0e1d32ea
