Odaily News: Bybit today officially announced the launch of Bybit AI, a conversational embedded intelligent assistant that integrates core functions such as trading and customer service. Users can complete common operations—including intelligent trading, account management, and inquiries—through a unified interface within the Bybit App.It is reported that Ben Zhou, co-founder and CEO of Bybit, will officially unveil Bybit AI and conduct a live demonstration via a Bybit livestream on September 9 at 8:00 AM UTC.Bybit AI allows users to express their needs in natural language. The system automatically identifies intent and executes the corresponding actions on their behalf, serving as an intelligent assistant for everyday trading and account management. This product replaces the previously fragmented user experience: instead of switching between webpages, menus, and forms to locate features, users can simply state their requirements in a natural conversation to complete a full range of actions—from checking asset balances and placing orders to submitting customer service tickets.The initial launch of Bybit AI covers two core modules:- A full-featured AI assistant encompassing spot, futures, and options trading, as well as core product lines such as Bybit Earn, copy trading, trading bots, lending, P2P, Bybit Card, Spot X, and the Rewards Center, alongside support for notifications and subscription management.- An upgraded intelligent customer service system, where Bybit AI works in tandem with human support agents, preserving a human touch while improving issue-resolution efficiency.Once users enable the Bybit AI feature, the system creates a dedicated Bybit AI sub-account, which is asset-isolated from the user's main account to mitigate potential risks associated with AI in live environments. Moreover, users can activate it directly by simply logging in—no API keys or manual configuration required.Bybit AI is a key component of Bybit's strategic vision for a "new financial platform," and marks a critical step forward in the exchange's long-term roadmap to position conversational intelligence as core infrastructure.
