Bitget launches AI assistant to help Kenyan traders boost market precision

Kenyan traders could soon experience a new wave of digital trading efficiency following the launch of GetAgent, an artificial intelligence (AI) trading assistant developed by global exchange platform Bitget.

Bitget Chief Executive Officer Gracy Chen said the tool aims to make trading more intuitive and accessible for retail investors who struggle to keep up with fast-changing market conditions.

“Futures, savings, and trading bots used to operate in silos. This AI brings them together under one interface, helping traders navigate complexity with greater speed and accuracy,” Chen said.

She added that GetAgent allows traders to execute strategies, monitor markets, and manage risk in real time through a chat-based system, reducing the need for technical knowledge or multiple dashboards.

The assistant, already available to users on Bitget’s platform, uses real-time data to analyze markets, identify trading opportunities, and adjust strategies automatically.

It can monitor positions, calculate entry and exit points, and provide risk management recommendations instantly — functions traditionally reserved for institutional traders.

Industry analysts say the AI launch reflects the growing influence of automation and machine learning in financial markets.

According to local financial experts, such tools could help Kenyan traders, who are among Africa’s most active in cryptocurrency markets, respond faster to market volatility and make more data-driven decisions.

Kenya ranks among the top countries globally for peer-to-peer cryptocurrency transactions.

Analysts believe tools like GetAgent could enhance the country’s digital trading landscape by giving individual investors access to professional-grade analysis and execution capabilities.

However, experts also cautioned that AI-assisted trading does not remove investment risks. Financial analyst Brian Otieno said traders should remain aware of the limitations of automation.

“AI can help improve timing and accuracy, but markets remain unpredictable. Traders still need sound strategies and an understanding of risk management,” he said.

The introduction of GetAgent comes amid rising demand for smarter trading tools that can simplify complex financial environments.

The platform merges crypto trading, tokenized assets, and wealth management tools under one interface, part of what Bitget describes as its “universal exchange” vision.

Observers note that AI’s growing role in finance is transforming how traders interact with markets, combining human intuition with data-driven precision.

 In Kenya, where digital finance adoption continues to rise, tools like GetAgent could mark a new step in the evolution of retail trading — helping local investors compete more effectively in global markets.
