Description in natural language
Overview
The description is the heart of your agent: it's the text you write in the chat to express your intent. From this description, Obside:
Rephrases your request to verify correct understanding.
Selects the relevant assets.
Activates the necessary capabilities (trading, notifications, AI, news).
Generates the code that formalizes your intent.
The description and the code of the agent are accessible at any time in the Description and Code tabs of the agent's page. You can iterate on the description through the linked chat to fine-tune the behavior.
How to write a good description
Obside's AI understands a very wide range of phrasings, but a smooth and logical syntax maximizes interpretation efficiency. Well-structured, clearly punctuated sentences reduce the risk of error.
The AI is not a magical technology that's supposed to guess what hasn't been explicitly stated. An omission or an unspecified inference can result in a partial or incorrect interpretation of your request.
A good way to write a clear description is to ask yourself:
"If I were teaching my strategy to someone else using only this description, would they understand everything or would they have questions on unclear aspects?".
This approach helps you maximize the precision of your request.
What you can express
Depending on the type of agent you want to create, your description can include:
For a scheduled trade — what to buy/sell, at what time, under what conditions.
For a trading bot — entry rules, exit rules, risk management, target assets. See Entry rules and Exit rules.
For an AI trader — mandate, asset universe, risk constraints, style.
For an alert — the condition to watch, the notification channel.
For monitoring — the metrics or events to track on your portfolio.
Iterating on your agent
Once your agent is created, you can continue the conversation in the chat linked to the agent to:
Adjust a parameter (e.g. change the entry threshold).
Add a condition (e.g. exclude certain hours).
Modify risk management.
Extend the agent to new assets.
The agent is automatically updated with each validated adjustment.
