Alphio AI

Alphio AI is a universal trading agent that combines market analysis, portfolio monitoring, and trade automation in a single plain-English chat interface. Aimed at retail traders and crypto enthusiasts, it moves beyond simple chatbot conversations by actually connecting to brokerage accounts and Web3 wallets, drafting conditional orders, and executing workflows after user confirmation. The platform covers traditional equities, prediction markets, and decentralized exchanges, making it a versatile companion for both conventional and on-chain trading. The core experience revolves around agentic workflows: users can describe a rule like 'buy 100 shares of NVDA if it drops below $170 and set a 5% trailing stop,' and Alphio drafts the structured order for review before anything is routed. Beyond one-off trades, users can schedule recurring research tasks, portfolio scans, and custom cron jobs, and set proactive alerts for news, earnings, unusual options activity, or account changes. It also offers copy trading with user-defined limits and a demo mode for testing strategies with virtual funds. Security is a central selling point: Alphio is non-custodial, connecting to brokerages through SnapTrade and to Web3 via WalletConnect/EIP-712 wallet authorization, so funds and private keys remain with the user. The assistant also acts as an emotional coach, delivering macro summaries, earnings warnings, and calming reminders during volatile market days. With integrations including Polymarket, Hyperliquid, KuCoin, OKX, and 10+ traditional brokers, Alphio positions itself as an institutional-grade tool for independent traders.
