How one hedge-fund manager built his firm to be powered entirely by AI agents

Hedge-fund manager Brian Kelly built Bracket22, a trading firm powered entirely by AI agents (software programs that can make decisions and act independently), reducing his annual labor costs from $5 million to $30,000-$40,000. Kelly uses specialized AI agents like "Steffi" for technical analysis and "Desmond" for quantitative strategies, then applies his own human judgment to make final trading decisions, claiming he is at least 10 times more productive than with his previous human staff.
