Getting Started
Build and run your first AI trading workflow in minutes.
NickAI is a platform for building AI-powered trading workflows. Create automated agents that fetch market data, analyze with AI models, execute trades, and send notifications — all without writing code (unless you want to).
You can run with NickAI Credits or have your own API keys ready
If sending notifications, have Telegram/Discord/Slack details ready
For trading, add an exchange credential
NickAI gives you two approaches. Use whichever fits your style or combine them.
Describe what you want in plain language. The AI assistant builds the workflow for you — nodes, connections, configuration, everything. Perfect for getting started quickly or when you know what you want but not how to build it.
Drag nodes onto the canvas, connect them, configure each one. Full control over every detail. Best for fine-tuning, learning how things work, or building complex custom logic.
Fastest way to build a working workflow.
1
Create a new workflow
2
Open the Workflow Assistant (chat panel)
3
Type a prompt describing what you want your agent to do. Example: "Create an agent that checks BTC price every hour, analyzes it with Claude, and sends me a Telegram alert when RSI drops below 30."
4
Watch the assistant build your workflow
5
Click "Run Now" to test
6
Enable Auto-run to activate the schedule
Full control over every node and connection.
1
Create a new workflow
2
Click '+' to add a Start node, set trigger to Schedule (every 1 hour)
3
Add a Price Data node, set symbol to BTC/USD
4
Add a Conditional node, set: field = price_[data.data](http://data.data).prices[0].current, operator = Greater Than, value = 100000
5
Add a Telegram node, connect to Conditional's "true" output
6
Connect: Start → Price Data → Conditional → Telegram
7
Run and activate
After clicking Execute, your workflow runs each node in sequence. Watch the execution in real-time — each node lights up as it processes. Click the Executions tab to see full run history with inputs, outputs, and timing for every node. If a node fails, expand it to see the error message.
