Managing cryptocurrencies can feel overwhelming, especially when platforms are confusing and commands are hard to remember. For many people, this complexity makes it hard to navigate their wallets, send funds, or even understand their portfolio. That’s where Crypto Buddy comes in—your personal crypto assistant that turns managing digital assets into something as simple as texting.

With Crypto Buddy, you don’t need to be an expert to stay in control. Have you ever struggled to find your wallet address? Just ask, “What’s my wallet address?” and Crypto Buddy provides it instantly—no digging through settings or switching apps. Sending funds is just as effortless. A quick command like, “Send 10 USDC to 0x63331CDb3253c83038672f1B09479c994f9D on base,” gets the job done. Before sending, Crypto Buddy confirms every detail to ensure accuracy and security.

Swapping cryptocurrencies can also be confusing, but not with Crypto Buddy. You can say, “Swap 1 USDC for ETH,” and the bot will not only handle the swap but also confirm the exchange rate so there are no surprises.

Crypto Buddy doesn’t stop at transactions—it helps you track your portfolio effortlessly. Instead of logging into multiple platforms, just ask, “Show my portfolio,” and get a complete snapshot of your holdings in seconds. Want to check your history? A simple “Show my transaction history” pulls up all past transactions, complete with links to verify them.

The real beauty of Crypto Buddy lies in how it removes the stress and confusion of managing crypto. By simplifying wallet management, transfers, swaps, and tracking, it makes the world of digital assets accessible to everyone—whether you’re just starting out or already experienced. With Crypto Buddy, managing crypto feels as natural as chatting with a friend.

One of the trickiest parts was training the bot to truly understand natural language. People ask for things in so many different ways—someone might say, "Send 10 USDC to Alice.eth," while another might type, "Transfer 10 USDC to Alice’s wallet." Teaching the bot to recognize these variations and respond accurately took a lot of fine-tuning. We spent hours testing different inputs and improving the bot’s understanding to make sure it worked seamlessly for everyone.

Another big challenge was that Okto didn’t provide a swap API, which was a feature we really wanted to include. To solve this, we built our own logic for handling swaps while making sure the process stayed secure and easy to use. We added clear confirmation steps so users could feel confident in every transaction and avoid mistakes.

We also ran into issues with the documentation for Okto’s tools. It was a bit confusing at times, and we ended up going in the wrong direction more than once. This slowed us down, but through trial and error, we figured things out and were able to make full use of Okto’s capabilities.
