Introduction to ODIN
Introduction to ODIN
ODIN (Oceanus Digital Intelligence Network) gives commodity traders nine AI agents that run their desk like a major trading house. The product has two layers: agents (the constant) and services (the variables).
Layer 1 — The Agents
Nine roles modeled on universal trading functions validated across Trafigura, Glencore, Cargill, Bunge, and Louis Dreyfus Company by four independent deep research sources.
Front Office
- Market Intelligence - Supply-demand analysis, arbitrage identification
- Origination - Supplier discovery, deal structuring
- Merchant/Sales - Buyer discovery, contract formalization
- Hedging - Derivatives management, basis risk monitoring
Middle Office (Independent)
- Risk Management - Credit limits, VaR, concentration risk
- Compliance - KYC/AML, sanctions, PEP screening
Back Office
- Operations - Logistics coordination, document assembly
- Trade Finance - LC management, payment instruments
- Settlement - Trade capture, P&L, reconciliation
Layer 2 — The Services
Everything the agents access beyond the trader’s own data, gated through MCP (Model Context Protocol):
- ODIN Trade Network - Counterparty discovery
- Compliance Screening - Sanctions, PEP, adverse media
- Market Pricing - Spot prices, forward curves, freight rates
- Logistics Tracking - Vessel AIS, port data
- Document Services - LC validation, discrepancy detection
- Financial Services - Loan origination
