Short answer

How can I use my AI to track crypto trends?

Your AI pulls real-time rankings and global market metrics to monitor price movements and asset popularity. It identifies which coins are gaining traction and where the broader market is heading. You get a clear view of the current landscape through direct data queries.

Market insights

What you'll discover

The AI processes raw data into these specific outcomes.

TRENDS

Spotting momentum

The AI scans current rankings to find assets with sudden price or volume shifts. You'll see which coins are moving before they hit the mainstream news.

HEALTH

Global market status

Your agent pulls total market cap and dominance metrics. This tells you if the whole market is heating up or cooling down.

DATA

Specific asset deep-dives

Get exact price, volume, and market cap numbers for any specific coin. Your AI pulls these quotes instantly to back up your theories.

HUMAN

Final trade decisions

The AI provides the data, but you make the calls. It won't execute trades or manage your wallet, leaving the risk management to you.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI moves from broad market overviews to specific asset analysis.

  1. Assess market health

    The AI checks the overall state of the crypto market to establish a baseline for volatility and dominance.

  2. Identify top movers

  4. Synthesize findings
