After posting Idith on Reddit for the first time, I realized something interesting:

Almost nobody is asking about the AI model itself.

Most conversations end up being about:

- trust

- risk

- onboarding

- confusing dashboards

- hidden complexity

- fear of making mistakes

That’s actually changing how I think about the project.

I originally focused a lot on the “AI assistant” part.

But the more feedback I get, the more I realize the real problem may simply be:

“trading automation still feels too intimidating for normal people.”

So now I’m focusing much more on:

- conversational onboarding

- validations/warnings

- risk explanations

- guided configuration

- transparency

instead of trying to make the AI look “smart”.

Still early and rough, but the Reddit feedback has honestly been super useful so far.

For the past 2 years I’ve been working on a project called Idith.

At the beginning, the idea sounded much simpler in my head.

I thought building “an AI assistant for trading bots” was the hard part.

Turns out the real challenge was removing complexity.

Almost every trading automation platform I tried had the same problems:

overwhelming dashboards

endless parameters

technical setup

confusing interfaces

easy configuration mistakes

And I kept asking myself:

why does configuring a trading bot still feel like something only technical users can do?

So I started experimenting with a different approach.

Instead of using complex dashboards full of settings, the user talks to an AI assistant that guides them step by step through the configuration process.

Things like:

market selection

strategy style

risk management

stop loss / take profit

…are handled conversationally.

The actual execution runs locally on the user’s PC through a separate runner, and API keys stay stored locally on the device.

I’m not selling anything right now.

Honestly, the project is still rough in many areas.

And that’s exactly why I’m posting this.

I’m trying to understand whether this idea actually makes sense for other people too.

If anyone here already uses trading bots or automation tools, I’d genuinely appreciate honest feedback.

What feels useful? What feels confusing? Would a conversational approach actually make trading automation easier for you?
