Furqan Nazeeri's Bionic Bot Demo: IM Planet Notes: Corante Tech News

Furqan Nazeeri of Pivot Solutions demoed the 'bionic buddy' -- a bot that listens in to a buyer and seller IMing. And when the bot can identify a series of IM strokes that constitute a transaction, it acts as a clerk, and extracts the order info, pending the transaction to the broker. Then, on confirmation, the bot pushes the transaction into the trading system, and subsequently notifies the buyer of the transaction details.
