VIGO — Hong Kong's First SFC Compliance AI Agent
AI-powered Hong Kong Securities & Futures Commission regulatory intelligence, via MCP
By OrphicOne · Bilingual (English & 繁體中文) · 1,250+ Structured Knowledge Entries
What is VIGO?
VIGO is a specialized compliance AI agent that provides instant, accurate answers to Hong Kong SFC regulatory questions — directly inside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, or any MCP-compatible platform.
Unlike general-purpose AI that gives approximate answers from training data, VIGO draws from a continuously updated, structured knowledge base of 1,250+ entries sourced directly from official SFC publications. Every response includes official document links for professional verification.
Why VIGO instead of asking Claude/ChatGPT directly?
| General AI (Claude/ChatGPT) | VIGO | |
|---|---|---|
| Data freshness | Frozen at training cutoff | Continuously updated from SFC sources |
| Accuracy | Directionally correct, details may be wrong | Precise, based on original SFC documents |
| Source links | None | Every answer includes official SFC links |
| Depth | Overview-level | Exam details, exemptions, capital, AML specifics |
| Enforcement cases | Almost none | Searchable fines, bans, suspensions |
| Chinese quality | Generic translation | Professional regulatory terminology |
Think of it this way: asking ChatGPT about SFC regulations is like asking a smart friend — they roughly know. Asking VIGO is like consulting a dedicated SFC compliance advisor who knows every circular, every enforcement action, and gives you the original source.
