What is Phil?

Phil is a self-improving trader: an AI agent that trades short-term prediction markets and rewrites its own strategy after every settled bet. It paper trades 24/7 in the cloud and supports small capped real stakes via Pearl Connect, so you can watch an agent learn from its own results.

Pros: what Phil does well

  • Free and open source
  • Runs paper trading 24/7 with no capital required

Cons: where it falls short

  • Prediction-market trading carries real financial risk
  • Real stakes require Pearl Connect and are capped
