Challenge

Ethics Compliance Agent for Financial Market Analysis

Develop a cutting-edge multi-agent system using Microsoft AutoGen to perform real-time ethical and regulatory compliance analysis for financial market activities. Inspired by recent headlines regarding market integrity rules, this system will leverage a team of specialized agents to interpret complex market news, cross-reference legal frameworks (such as insider trading regulations), and flag potential violations. Qwen 3 235B will power the core reasoning capabilities for the agents, enabling nuanced understanding of verbose financial texts and intricate regulatory guidelines. The solution emphasizes modern AI interaction and evaluation. It should integrate seamlessly with Fixie for natural language voice interactions, allowing financial stakeholders to query compliance statuses and receive immediate alerts or summaries through conversational interfaces. Patronus AI will be employed for robust evaluation and monitoring of the agents' behavior, ensuring strict adherence to compliance policies, identifying any biases, or detecting errors in their decision-making processes. Furthermore, a Wix dashboard will be created to visualize compliance reports, agent decision-making rationales, and overall system performance, providing transparency and auditability.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks, how much each dimension matters, and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Max Score: 6
Dimensions
6 scoring checks
Binary
6 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1correctviolationidentification

CorrectViolationIdentification

The system correctly identifies the primary compliance violation (e.g., 'Insider Trading') when present.

binary
Weight: 1
Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2reasoningclarity

ReasoningClarity

The 'reasoning' provided by the agent system is clear, concise, and directly supports the compliance status.

binary
Weight: 1
Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 3nofalsepositives

NoFalsePositives

The system does not flag violations for scenarios that are clearly compliant according to the rules.

binary
Weight: 1
Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 4compliance_accuracy

Compliance Accuracy

The percentage of test cases where the 'compliance_status' matches the ground truth. • target: 0.95 • range: 0-1

binary
Weight: 1
Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 5reasoning_quality_score

Reasoning Quality Score

A subjective score (1-5) based on the coherence, completeness, and correctness of the agent's reasoning. • target: 4 • range: 1-5

binary
Weight: 1
Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 6voice_response_latency_seconds

Voice Response Latency (seconds)

The average time taken for the system to process a voice query via Fixie and return a spoken response. • target: 2 • range: 0-5

binary
Weight: 1
Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

What you should walk away with

  • Master Microsoft AutoGen for orchestrating complex, conversational multi-agent workflows, defining agent roles and communication patterns.

  • Implement ethical guidelines and regulatory compliance checks within an AI agent system, focusing on financial market rules like insider trading prohibitions.

  • Integrate Qwen 3 235B as the backbone LLM for advanced text comprehension, legal document analysis, and sophisticated reasoning within agents.

  • Design voice-enabled interfaces using Fixie, allowing stakeholders to interact with the compliance system through natural language queries and receive spoken responses.

  • Utilize Patronus AI for robust evaluation and monitoring of agent behavior, ensuring compliance adherence, identifying potential biases, and tracing decision rationales.

  • Develop custom tool integrations for AutoGen agents, enabling them to access mock financial databases or legal rule engines for information retrieval.

  • Build a dynamic dashboard using Wix developer tools to visualize compliance reports, agent interactions, and audit trails.
