Realtime Recommendation Ingestion System

Sept 2024 — Present

Convergent multi-source ingestion with AI orchestration and human-in-the-loop verification before execution-ready trade state.

Built realtime and batch ingestion paths across Telegram, PDF reports, YouTube livestreams, Twitter/X, news APIs, and Perplexity-augmented discovery.

Each connector applied source-specific reliability patterns — deduplication, rate limits, OCR and frame pipelines, and queue-backed processing — before converging on a shared LLM classification and extraction stack.

The platform minimized irrelevant API spend via a two-stage model workflow, normalized inconsistent advisor language into a single trade schema, and gated publication through operational moderation for downstream execution readiness.

System Overview

The platform continuously ingested trading recommendations from highly inconsistent multi-platform sources including Telegram, PDFs, YouTube livestreams, Twitter/X, news feeds, and Perplexity search workflows.

Each source used custom ingestion logic, AI-assisted extraction, normalization pipelines, and operational verification workflows before converging into a unified execution-ready trade schema.

The architecture was specifically designed to:

  • handle noisy human communication
  • minimize ingestion latency
  • optimize AI processing cost
  • support realtime recommendation capture
  • normalize inconsistent advisor formats
  • maintain operational verification workflows
