Qwen3-VL

Qwen3-VL is Alibaba Cloud's vision-language model series, designed to understand and reason over images, videos, and text in a single architecture. It is available in 2B and 8B parameter sizes, both released under Apache 2.0. The architecture handles diverse visual tasks including document understanding, chart analysis, image-based question answering, and video comprehension.

SafeHands AI: Compliance Orchestrator

The Problem Logistics and freight insurance fraud costs enterprises billions annually. Currently, human adjusters must manually read a driver's transcript (e.g., "the cargo was completely destroyed") and cross-reference it against photographic evidence to approve or reject a claim. This process is slow, expensive, and highly prone to error. Our Solution: SafeHands AI SafeHands AI completely automates this process using a distributed multi-agent system built on the Band network. We ingeniously divided the cognitive load across three specialized, independent remote agents that collaborate over Band WebSockets to make high-stakes financial decisions: 1. The Intake Agent (Powered by Featherless Llama 3.1 8B): Listens to the driver's unstructured voice dictation, parses the messy input, and extracts structured JSON containing the claimed cargo type and claimed damage severity. 2. The Vision Agent (Powered by Featherless Qwen2.5-VL 72B): Acts as the "eyes" of the operation. It analyzes the uploaded cargo image, detects the physical cargo type, and independently estimates the actual damage percentage using multi-modal visual reasoning. 3. The Compliance Agent (Powered by AI/ML API Llama 3.3 70B): The central decision-maker. It receives the context from both the Intake and Vision agents via Band and cross-references them to catch discrepancies. If a driver claims 100% damage but the Vision agent detects only 30% damage, the Compliance Agent instantly flags the discrepancy and REJECTS the claim, logging the decision to an immutable ledger. If the evidence matches, the claim is APPROVED. Why it fits the Hackathon SafeHands AI was built specifically for Track 3: Regulated & High-Stakes Workflows. Band is not just a wrapper in our project; it is the absolute backbone coordination layer allowing our independent Python agent processes to discover each other, divide work, and seamlessly share context across different LLM provider frameworks.

AXON — Live AI Desktop Agent

AXON is an open-source, vision-based autonomous desktop agent built on the paradigm of "GitHub Copilot for your entire Operating System." Unlike traditional RPA or automation tools that rely on brittle element selectors, fixed coordinate macros, or application-specific APIs, AXON interacts with computers exactly like a human does: by looking at the screen. Using an advanced cognitive loop, AXON captures live screen feeds, analyzes the visual layout using Vision Language Models (VLMs) and OCR, dynamically charts a multi-step execution plan, and fires native system-level commands to control the cursor and keyboard. If a user can see a task on their display, AXON can automate it. Key Technical Architecture & Features: Multi-LLM Integration: Seamlessly supports cloud-based frontier models (Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude) alongside fully local, privacy-focused deployments via Ollama. Fluid PyQt6 Overlay: Uses a hardware-accelerated transparent canvas with a color-coded visual reticle that tracks agent states (Idle, Thinking, Moving, Clicking) without taking over the screen. Safety Engineering: Built with a global hardware F12 Kill Switch to instantly halt background threads, paired with algorithmic stuck-loop detection to prevent runaway inputs. By turning complex system workflows into a simple natural language interface, AXON bridges the gap between AI reasoning and native OS execution—democratizing desktop automation for everyone.

Uplan: A Stateful Deep-Agent Document Intelligence

International visa rejections disproportionately stem not from document illegibility but from logical inconsistencies: unexplained financial spikes, crossdocument income disparities, sponsor–applicant coherence failures, and transliteration-induced identity mismatches. Existing automated systems either blindly pass anomalous documents or over-flag legitimate ones, while traditional consultancies are costly, inconsistent, and constitute a privacy risk when handling sensitive financial data. The Uplan concept emerged from a concrete crisis: a real visa applicant’s processwas jeopardised due to the negligence of a consultancy that failed to identifya critical financial narrative inconsistency prior to submission. The applicant declared a conservative baseline taxable income on the primary application form but simultaneously presented supplementary affidavits showing substantially higher, unverified financial figures. To an experienced immigration officer, such a pattern triggers immediate scrutiny. To an automated document-processing tool

Ken: The Real-Time Co-Listener

Every professional consultation contains a moment where you stop understanding — and say nothing. The lawyer mentions indemnification clauses. The doctor walks through your treatment options. You nod. You leave. You google it in the parking lot. Existing tools don't solve this. Otter records the meeting — but the moment has passed. Hedy nudges in real time but can't explain why it fires. ChatGPT answers what you ask — but you don't know what to ask. Ken is the only tool combining real-time intervention, explainable triggers, and self-hostable open-weight infrastructure. Ken transcribes live audio and runs it through four explainable trigger types: Jargon Bomb, Impact Alert, Question Suggester, and Commitment Tracker — each mapped to a specific cognitive gap. Every intervention tells you exactly why it fired. See it in our demo video above. Built on AMD Developer Cloud (Instinct MI300X, ROCm 7) using faster-whisper and Qwen3-14B via vLLM. Full stack runs on open weights, self-hostable — the first AMD-native co-listener viable for law firms, hospitals, and enterprises where data cannot leave the firewall. Market: The global AI meeting assistant market is $4–6B and growing. Ken's SAM — regulated-industry knowledge workers in legal, healthcare, and finance — exceeds 15 million professionals in the US alone. Freemium + Pro at $19/month for individuals; $30–$80/user/month for enterprise on-premise deployment. Future: Domain packs, multilingual support, and community trigger rules near-term. Longer term: insurance, immigration, government benefits — any regulated expert-to-layperson conversation. Consumer adoption drives enterprise pipeline.
