Meet your new trading companion that's powered by AI.

Updated over a week ago

What Is the AI Assistant?

The AI Assistant is a smart trading companion powered by Gemini Flash 2.5, designed to help you create and backtest trading strategies directly through a chat interface. The AI Assistant is included in the current Starter, Pro, and Expert plans (including active trials). It is not available on Legacy plans.

You can open the AI Assistant from the main navigation:

or directly from the DCA bot creation page using the AI icon:


What You Can Do with It

  • The AI Assistant helps you:

    • Build trading strategies by simply describing them in your own words

    • Configure and backtest DCA bot setups directly from chat

    • Understand 3Commas tools and features instantly

    • Simplify onboarding without navigating complex forms

    • Launch bots faster and with more confidence

  • It can also answer product-related questions, making it easier for new users to learn 3Commas features quickly and confidently.

  • Right now, the AI Assistant only creates and backtests DCA bot strategies. It cannot create SmartTrades, Grid bots, Signal bots, or perform any other trading actions outside DCA bots.

  • The AI Assistant also has access to 3Commas Help Center articles, so it can answer many questions that are not directly related to DCA bots, such as general platform usage, features, or troubleshooting topics.

  • The AI Assistant is different from the FIN support chatbot. FIN is focused on support and FAQs, while the AI Assistant is focused on creating and backtesting trading strategies in the 3Commas interface.


How It Works

  1. Ask your question or describe a strategy
    You can ask the AI how to create a bot with the settings you want, for example: “Create a DCA bot for BTC/USDT using RSI on the 4h chart with four averaging orders.”

  2. AI responds with a Strategy Card or asks for more info:
    The AI will build a bot template and show it as a strategy card.

  3. Preview your configuration
    Hover your mouse over the Config </> label on the Strategy Card to see all bot settings.

  4. Backtest and review results
    Click Backtest on the Strategy Card to run a quick backtest and view metrics like PnL, drawdown, and win rate.

  5. Run the strategy
    If you are happy with the setup, click Run strategy to copy the bot settings and activate the bot from that Strategy Card.


Managing Your Chats

  • The AI Assistant can’t manage your existing bots. It focuses on helping you create and understand new strategies using historical data.

  • At the top of your AI Assistant window, you’ll find two quick action button:
    🕒 History – Tap the clock icon to view your recent chats.
    New Chat – Tap the plus icon to start a brand-new conversation with the assistant.

  • You can start as many different strategy ideas as you like in separate chats. Each chat keeps its own strategy cards and backtest results so you can come back and review them later.


Availability and Limits

  • Platforms: Available on Web, Android, and iOS

  • Plans: Included in Starter, Pro, and Expert (new plans only)

  • Legacy Plans: Not supported

  • Languages: Supports all currently available 3Commas interface languages

  • Usage Limit: Up to 1 million tokens per user per month, enough for around 20–100 strategy setups or up to 1,000 questions

If you reach your monthly usage limit, you’ll see a message letting you know when it resets.

Important Notes

  • The AI Assistant does not provide financial advice or guarantee trading results.

  • At launch, it will have access to limited account data (balance and time).

  • Some strategies may trigger exchange-related errors when run; improvements are planned in future updates.


Common Questions

Is it available on my plan?
Yes, if you’re on a current Starter, Pro, or Expert plan. It’s not included in Legacy plans.

Does it cost extra?
No, it’s included in your plan’s monthly subscription limit.

Can I try it during my free trial?
Yes, users on active Starter, Pro, or Expert trials can use the AI Assistant fully.

Does it work in my language?
Yes. The assistant replies in the same language your 3Commas account uses.

Can it create SmartTrades, Grid bots or Signal bots?
No. The AI Assistant only works with DCA bot strategies. If you want to create a SmartTrade or a Grid bot, you still need to set it up yourself in the SmartTrade or Grid Bot sections of the 3Commas software.

Is this the same as the FIN AI bot in support chat?
