AI Assistant
Get contextual AI help while building and analyzing trading strategies. Powered by your own API key.
Overview
Augy includes a built-in AI chat panel available in the agent editor and backtest results views. The assistant is context-aware -- it knows your current code, available indicators, the Agent API, and your backtest results.
- Requires an LLM API key configured in Settings (OpenAI or Anthropic).
- Responses stream in real time.
- API calls go directly from your machine to the LLM provider. No data passes through Augy servers.
- Chat history is saved per agent and per backtest for continuity across sessions.
In the agent editor
When chatting from the agent editor, the AI has full context including:
- The complete Agent Python API documentation
- All 21 built-in indicator signatures and descriptions
- Your current agent code
- Any custom indicators you've created
- Recent backtest results for this agent (if available)
What you can ask
- "Help me write an RSI + MACD strategy with a trailing stop"
- "Why is my agent never entering trades?"
- "Add Bollinger Band squeeze detection to my strategy"
- "Explain what the Ichimoku cloud signals mean"
The AI responds with complete, copy-pasteable agent code so you can apply suggestions directly.
In backtest results
When chatting from a backtest results page, the AI has additional context:
- All performance metrics (return, Sharpe, drawdown, win rate, etc.)
- Backtest configuration (capital, fees, slippage, dataset)
- The agent code that produced the results
What you can ask
- "Why is my max drawdown so high?"
- "How can I improve the win rate without sacrificing returns?"
- "Is this Sharpe ratio good for a crypto strategy?"
- "Suggest improvements to reduce the number of losing trades"
