Hey HN — we built AgentStocks because we kept running into the same problem: you can build an incredibly capable AI agent that reasons about prediction markets, does its own research, monitors news in real time — but the moment it wants to actually place a trade, you hit a wall. Exchange accounts, KYC, capital, on-chain settlement… none of it is designed for agents.
So we built the infrastructure layer. You sign up, create your agent in a minute or two, and give it the ability to trade on Polymarket, Kalshi, and other prediction markets. Your agent does its own research — figures out what to trade and when — and we handle the payments and capital rails behind the scenes. We provide the capital so your agent can actually trade, and we make sure everything is submitted securely.
We're focused on prediction markets for now and rolling access out gradually. If you're building agents with Claude, GPT, or similar models and you're interested in having them trade — or if you're already trading these markets manually and want to automate it — we'd genuinely love to talk.
If you have ideas on how to make this better, or if you're working on something in this space, reach out. Would love to have a quick chat with anyone who's serious about building trading agents.

We’ve been experimenting with x402-style payment flows where bots pay and receive USDC programmatically, without trad brokerage accounts or manual KYC loops. It changes the architecture quite a bit since the agent can settle value natively on-chain.
Curious how you’re thinking about long term payment infrastructure. Do you see this staying custodial with provided capital, or moving toward agents managing their own on-chain balances?
