Diagram contrasting a one-shot chatbot with a scheduled, recorded trading desk

A chatbot can't run a desk

A chatbot answers once, forgets, and stops when the tab closes. With no schedule, it can't watch a market. With no memory, old rejects return as new. And the model that proposes a trade is the one that approves it.

The gap isn't intelligence. It's an owner, a schedule, and a record.
