š§ Built a prediction market trading bot from scratch, here's what went into it
Over the past few months I've been building Astra, an automated trading system for Polymarket's ETH/BTC 5-minute UP/DOWN markets.
Stack:
š Python core engine
š” Pyth Network oracle feed for price data
š Direct Polygon CLOB API integration (no middleman)
š Bayesian probability filtering on entry signals
š¤ Telegram bot for live trade alerts
š„ļø Deployed on a VPS, running 24/7 via tmux
The interesting part wasn't the trading logic, it was the speed. Prediction markets move on tiny information gaps, so oracle latency and signal filtering matter more than raw prediction accuracy.
Backtested across thousands of historical markets before ever risking capital. Currently live and iterating.
This is part of what I do under Astratek, I design and build automation/AI systems end to end: from data pipelines to trading bots to multi-agent workflows (n8n + LangGraph + Claude API).
If you're building something similar, or need automation/AI systems built for your product ā let's talk. š

On June 24th, we faced the biggest tragedy in our recent history in Venezuela.
Amidst the chaos, dozens of children went missing or were reported kidnapped. We needed an immediate tracking solution.
With no time to spare, I used Lovable to build and deploy Volver a Casa Vzla in just a couple of hours. This proved the immense power of AI in crisis responseāturning what usually takes days into a live platform that solves life-or-death needs in hours. So far, we've registered 73 cases, resulting in 1 family reunion.
We are deeply grateful for the international support funding critical supplies like medicines, tools, and masks.

This is a powerful reminder that AI's biggest impact isn't speed alone, it's what that speed makes possible when people need help the most. Really meaningful work.
Automatic New Token Trading Bot with Scanner and Risk Controls
I built My Little Bot ā a playful custom AI bot platform where users can create, personalize, and chat with their own bots. š¤āØ
What started as a fun idea turned into a working mini SaaS-style app with:
ā¢ Custom bot creation
ā¢ Bot personalities and instructions
ā¢ Saved conversations
ā¢ Voice options
ā¢ Premium upgrade features
ā¢ Bot templates
ā¢ Authentication
ā¢ Admin tools
ā¢ Stripe subscription flow
ā¢ Netlify deployment
The goal was to make AI feel more personal, creative, and approachable ā something users can shape around their own routines, ideas, projects, or support needs.
People can create bots like:
study buddies, brainstorming partners, creative assistants, accountability bots, character-style companions, or task-specific helpers.
This project brings together a lot of the work I love doing: AI product design, user experience, playful interfaces, prompt systems, automation, and creative technology.
Iām currently inviting people to test it and share feedback on what feels intuitive, what breaks, and what could make it more useful.

Built with Fable 5, Supabase, Stripe, Anthropic, and Netlify.
This deserves more than just liking, this deserves to be featured! š Building out a fully functional custom AI playground with individual personalities is such a brilliant concept. The UI styling is great translating a playful product dashboard like this into an interactive landing page would be an absolute blast.
