How Heurist Finance built an AI-native investment workbench on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore
aws ·
Heurist Finance, a retail investment platform, built an AI-native investment workbench on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore. The system integrates institutional workflows like data gathering, research, portfolio construction, and monitoring into a chat interface that personalizes responses based on user portfolios and preferences. To access premium market data, AgentCore payments handles per-query purchases via the x402 protocol, enforcing spending caps and settling in USDC on the Base blockchain. AgentCore Identity and Memory provide user-scoped authentication and cross-session context, while Code Interpreter runs analyses in isolated sandboxes and Guardrails filters inputs and outputs. Credentials are stored securely in AWS Secrets Manager, and AgentCore Observability traces every action for auditability. Heurist reports roughly 80% less agent-system engineering compared to an in-house LLM orchestration stack, gaining predictable costs and improved compliance readiness. The company is now expanding into event-driven research, portfolio-aware market-event analysis, and similar-trader recommendations.
