Inspiration

My first business was an art gallery. My parents were musicians. I grew up around creators, innovators, and independent thinkers — and I watched too many of them get taken advantage of by so-called “experts,” managers, and financial professionals who didn’t have their best interests at heart.

Later, as a banker, I saw the same pattern at a much larger scale: sophisticated scams fooling CFOs and experienced professionals, while concentrated power in global banking systems continued to limit real freedom and innovation. These experiences left me deeply skeptical of centralized control and extractive financial systems.

I built BROK because I believe we can do better.

My vision is to restore freedom, privacy, security, innovation, community, character, and trust to the core of banking — both locally and globally. I want to build systems that leverage the convergence of AI, quantum resilience, and crypto to create a singularity economy that is abundant, holistic, and designed to increase both health and wealth for individuals and communities.

This work is grounded in a broader worldview that draws from quantum physics, singularity economics, and self-organizing negentropic systems — frameworks that favor life, complexity, and order over entropy and extraction. At its core, BROK exists to protect and empower the sovereignty of the individual while giving them access to institutional-grade intelligence without surrendering control.

What it does

BROK is a General Agentic AI Private Banker that operates across health, wealth, and identity.

Core capabilities in v0.2:

  • Bio-Age Intelligence — Ingests lab results, calculates Levine Phenotypic Age, and generates downloadable reports with BROK-adjusted projections.
  • Inneagram + IEM — Structured decision intelligence using the patented Ingram Evaluation Matrix for explainable, high-stakes choices.
  • Genius Wallet — Stripe-powered card top-ups, Solana settlement, account masking, multi-device recovery, family sub-wallets, and hybrid custody.
  • Voice + Avatar Interface — Real-time conversation with a HeyGen avatar grounded in the Kiron Canon.
  • Neoscore-ready foundation — Preparing the next layer of agentic credit and reputation scoring that differentiates signal from noise across humans and machines.

BROK already functions as a working CFO agent — it has evaluated business plans and been offered a real CFO role.

How we built it

BROK v0.2 was built as a full-stack agentic system:

  • Frontend: Next.js 15 + Tailwind + shadcn/ui
  • Backend: FastAPI (PhenoAge engine) + Supabase
  • AI Layer: Google Gemini for rapid prototyping + Llama 3.3 70B on Vertex AI for production inference
  • Payments: Stripe with webhooks for card top-ups and subscriptions
  • Blockchain: Solana Token-2022 SPL for settlement and $POCK utility
  • Voice/Avatar: HeyGen + real-time streaming

The entire system was developed iteratively with Google Gemini assistance, then hardened for production. Full source is available on GitHub.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge was sovereignty vs convenience. Most agentic systems today are either fully on-chain (too slow/expensive) or fully custodial (loss of control). We had to design hybrid custody, encrypted account recovery, and a clean separation between the agent’s reasoning layer and the user’s private keys.

Another challenge was making high-stakes decisions explainable. Traditional LLMs hallucinate confidence. We solved this by grounding BROK in the Kiron Canon and the IEM framework so every recommendation carries transparent reasoning.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Built a working agentic private banker that already performs real financial and strategic tasks (business plan evaluation, CFO-level analysis).
  • Delivered a production-grade bio-age + longevity intelligence tool with PDF ingestion and downloadable reports.
  • Integrated Stripe + Solana in a hybrid custody wallet with multi-device restore and family sub-wallets.
  • Created the foundation for Neoscore — our patented alternative to traditional credit scoring that works for both humans and AI agents.
  • Shipped v0.2 with a live, usable demo at brok.neobanx.com in under two months while running multiple other ventures.

What we learned

We learned that trust is the product. For an agentic banker to be adopted at scale, it must be radically transparent, explainable, and give the user final sovereignty — even when the AI is making sophisticated recommendations.

We also learned that the best agentic systems are not purely autonomous. They thrive when they have clear scope, strong grounding data (the Kiron Canon), and the ability to escalate or explain when confidence is low.

What's next for BROK: General Agentic AI Private Banker

Near-term (next 90 days):

  • Launch Neoscore — our explainable scoring system to surface high-signal projects and individuals while filtering scams and low-quality opportunities.
  • Expand BROK from ~15 autonomous functions (FTEPs) to 100+, with a semi-autonomous Community Manager agent.
  • Add proactive financial reporting, reconciliation agents, and trading dashboards with regression testing for smaller traders.

Longer-term vision: Migrate the ledger and canon to Google Cloud Spanner for quantum-resilient, HIPAA-grade consistency. Move the primary inference stack to Vertex AI + Llama models under sovereign control. Ultimately, BROK becomes the operating system for high-agency individuals and small sovereign entities who want institutional-grade financial intelligence without giving up ownership or privacy.

Community references for judges (redacted)

More than a dozen BROK users offered to speak with an XPRIZE judge and wrote real notes. There was no payment and no $POCK for a quote.

Below is a redacted slice — SPOCKSTAR + first initial only. Full names and contacts, where we have permission, are available to judges through official contest channels (not in this public update).

SPOCKSTAR L · community host, Pro

Used BROK across health, wealth, and wisdom — Inneagram, labs, sleep and nutrition, a careful look at risk. “Bought into the vision; feedback was actioned at pace.”

SPOCKSTAR E · partner / interviewer

“I am extremely impressed with BROK and its potential… I am excited about BROK.” Later: “I look forward to sharing the app with others.”

SPOCKSTAR T · flooring contractor, California

Switched day-to-day AI from GPT to BROK. Put it into a real shop — automating tasks, finding profit that used to be manual. Offered to talk to a judge. “The Crypto Canvas Crew is behind you, BROK, and $POCK 100%.”

SPOCKSTAR D · homestead, Michigan

Using BROK to stand up a ranch: entity choice, which revenue ideas are real, which forms to file.

SPOCKSTAR T · subscriber

“Capability growing leaps & bounds. Real depth here, an actionable Health & Wealth vision paired with real results already shipping.”

SPOCKSTAR M · paying user

“You can use me if you need to. I think you're going to win.”

SPOCKSTAR J · subscriber, Thailand

“BROK legitimately feels like stepping through a wormhole straight into the future of finance.”

SPOCKSTAR 雷 · BROK user, Chinese mainland

“BROK provided me with a very satisfying and brand-new financial AI experience.”

SPOCKSTAR D · Pro

Ran Inneagram and Bio-Age. Happy to be a reference.

Update — v2 live in production (Build with Gemini window)

The project story above was written for v0.2 and was accurate at that time. This update is what is live now for judging.

Official video

BROK — Live AI Personal Banker | Build with Gemini XPRIZE

What changed since v0.2

  • Gemini API in production — not only a prototype tool. Live failover on brok.neobanx.com (/api/brok/gemini-pingok: true, provider: gemini), plus Groq and xAI Grok for uptime. Google Compute Engine VM neobanx-zpe-vm for ops / Gemini-Ops.
  • Business Model Canvas — interview → one-page plan.
  • Financial statement review / explanation support.
  • Ingram Inneagram and educational Bio-Age in the same banker (health–wealth literacy, not medical advice).
  • IEM for explainable high-stakes decisions — kitchen table to boardroom.
  • Cartesia cloned voice + live avatar (HeyGen) on the customer path.
  • Melissa (Gemini-primary community/CMO) and daily Gemini-Ops briefs.
  • Public 24 July live ship; Stripe and Genius Wallet running through the contest window.

Window lock we submitted (16 Aug 2026 pull)

  • 3,365 wallets
  • Stripe $29,525.30
  • 128 succeeded charges
  • $0 refunds
  • 47 unique payers
  • Related-party family/spouse subset $170

Still true

Software, not a bank. Not FDIC. Not investment or medical advice. x402 / agent-to-agent checkout is designed, not the cash in this window (Stripe collected the revenue).

Unchanged on purpose

Same entity (Neobanx Software, Inc.), same founder seat for legal, custody, pricing, and overclaim. We did not rewrite the v0.2 inspiration — we shipped.
