How it works

From scrolling markets to placing the trade — in one thread.

01

Hours of research, done in seconds

Your AI pulls live prices, order books, candlesticks, and event forecasts across hundreds of markets — and surfaces the few worth your attention, so you stop scrolling and start deciding.

02

From idea to order, in plain English

Ask a question, review what the AI proposes, and use your client's order tools to place, modify, or cancel orders in your own Kalshi account. Confirmation follows the client settings you control.

03

Reads the fine print before you trade

Ask for a pre-trade rules review to surface settlement terms, payout criteria, and edge cases. A market's close time isn't always its payout criterion, and your AI can organize the published rules before you commit.

Tax season — export an informational CSV for positions resolved at settlement, included on Pro and Max. Kalshi says its published 1099-B covers “broker transactions (crypto transfers),” and it separately provides a monthly FIFO P&L statement. Compare your export with those Kalshi-published records.* *Settled markets only; not tax advice.

Security

Non-custodial by design — it runs on your own Kalshi keys, encrypted at rest and used server-side only, and cannot withdraw or transfer your funds. The service never initiates trades; supported clients can require confirmation before an order tool runs.

Protection

• Non-custodial
  Trades run in your own account
• Member-directed
  The service never initiates an order
• Order confirmation controls
  Supported clients can require confirmation
• Per-user isolation
  Encrypted records are isolated by Clerk user
