Market data outcomes

What your AI delivers

The specific data points your agent pulls from the market.

LIVE DATA

Real time trade tracking

The AI pulls the most recent executions from various exchanges. You get a clear view of what is actually happening in the market right now.

PRICE FEED

Current market quotes

Your agent fetches the latest bid and ask prices. This lets you check current pricing without leaving your chat interface.

ANALYSIS

Trend identification

Since the AI sees the raw trade data, it can spot sudden spikes in volume. You can ask it to summarize recent activity.

HUMAN

Manual trade execution

The AI only reads market data. You still need to use your own exchange account to actually place or manage any orders.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI acts as your eyes on the exchange.

  1. Fetch recent trades

    The AI pulls the most recent transaction data from the exchange to see where the money is moving.

    You can ask as often as you like, but the data freshness depends on the latest information available from the exchange via the tools.
