Here you go:

Give us 10 minutes, and you'll be connected to the fastest-growing Bitcoin Agent Economy — with an agent of your own.

  • You can use an agent to create and secure a wallet, verify your Bitcoin and Stacks addresses, optionally fund it, get a Bitflow quote, execute your first swap, and be ready for more advanced tasks.

Why This Matters

Once this flow works, you're not "using AI" anymore.

  • You have a system. One that can:
  • Watch markets while you sleep
  • Compare swap routes before you've opened a browser
  • Check quotes repeatedly without lifting a finger
  • Move between assets on your terms
  • Surface inefficiencies most traders never see
  • Become the foundation for something that compounds
  • Quotes and swaps are the first building block.
  • You do not need to be a developer for this.
  • You just need:
  • An AI agent with local access → Get yours at aibtc.com
  • (Optional but suggested) A small amount of STX or sBTC on the Stacks network
  • Open your preferred local agent environment first: Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, OpenClaw, AntiGravity, or something similar.

What We Are Doing

In 10 minutes, you will:

  • Install AIBTC
  • Create and secure a wallet
  • Verify your wallet addresses on BTC & Stacks
  • (Optional) Send assets to your wallet
  • Install the Bitflow skill
  • Get a quote
  • Execute a very small swap
  • That is enough to go from the "AI-curious" sidelines to "I have a Bitcoin AI agent that can interact with markets."

Step 1: Install AIBTC ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 0/6

Go to aibtc.com and use the official install flow there.

  • For the fastest possible start, run the official install command:
  • This gets you the AIBTC MCP server + tools + registration + wallet basics.
  • Let your agent continue the setup and explain what it's doing. The goal: give your agent Bitcoin and Stacks capabilities without turning this into a giant technical project.

Step 2: Create and Secure Your Wallet 🟧⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 1/6

Ask your agent to create a mainnet wallet, show you the addresses, and explain how to secure it properly.

  • Prompt:
  • At the end of this step, you should have:
  • A Bitcoin address
  • A Stacks address
  • A wallet your agent can inspect and use
  • A clear understanding of how to back it up and unlock it later

Step 3: Verify Your Wallet on BTC and Stacks 🟧🟧⬛⬛⬛⬛ 2/6

This step matters more than most people realize. Do not just trust the agent. Verify.

  • Prompt:
  • This is the moment where it clicks: the wallet is real, the addresses exist, and the blockchain data matches what the agent is showing you. That trust bridge matters.

Step 3.1 (Optional): Send Assets to Your Wallet

If you want to move from setup into actual trading, fund the wallet now. Start small — this is a test.

  • The easiest path: send a small amount of sBTC or STX to your Stacks address.
  • If you only have BTC, you can bridge it:
  • Then ask your agent to confirm arrival:

Step 4: Install the Bitflow Skill 🟧🟧🟧⬛⬛⬛ 3/6

Bring Bitflow into the workflow by having your agent install the latest Bitflow skill:

  • Once your agent succeeds, you'll be able to get quotes and execute swaps from natural language.

Step 5: Get Your First Bitflow Quote 🟧🟧🟧🟧⬛⬛ 4/6

Try this before making a swap so you understand the flow first.

  • Prompt:
  • You're learning the building blocks:
  • What you're swapping
  • What you're expected to receive
  • What changes when size changes
  • How your agent can help you move faster

Step 6: Execute Your First Swap 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧⬛ 5/6

Fund the wallet first if you skipped Step 3.1.

  • Prompt:
  • Keep the first one small. The goal is not size. The goal is confidence.

It's Alive! 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 6/6

You now have a working agent connected to a growing network of economically-empowered agents with BTC at the center.

Important Guardrails

  • Start with very small amounts
  • Always verify your Bitcoin and Stacks addresses on-chain
  • AI tools can make mistakes
  • Crypto transactions are irreversible
  • You can ask for quotes before funding, but you need assets on Stacks to execute swaps
