Step 1: Open Bybit AI

In the top navigation bar, click Tools and select Bybit AI.

Step 2: Review the capability introduction

Bybit AI opens with a summary of what it can do: trading, fiat transactions, transfers, customer support, market analysis and more. Read through before proceeding.

Step 3: Authorize account data access

Bybit AI needs permission to read your account data so it can give accurate, personalized responses. Authorizing this access allows it to check your portfolio, positions and account details in real time.

Step 4: Sign the service agreement

Review and sign the Bybit AI User Service Agreement. This outlines how Bybit AI interacts with your account.

Step 5: Wait for initialization to complete

Bybit AI configures your account automatically in the background. This usually takes less than a minute.

What happens during setup

Several things are configured automatically when you initialize:

• A dedicated Bybit AI sub-account is created and linked to your main account

• Trading and transfer permissions are set for the sub-account

• An API key is auto-generated for sub-account operations

This architecture keeps your main account protected. Bybit AI executes orders and write actions through the sub-account, while your main account retains read access and fiat trading capability. You can view sub-account details, transfer funds and edit permissions at any time through the Subaccount tab inside Bybit AI.

Your first conversation: 5 starter prompts

After initialization, Bybit AI presents 5 starter commands to help you explore what it can do. Tap any prompt to run it immediately, or type your own message in plain language.

Examples of what you might see:

• "What is my total portfolio balance?"

• "Buy $100 of ETH with my card"

• "What is the current price of BTC?"

• "Send 50 USDT to my spot account"

• "Check if I have any open orders"

• "What are today's top movers?"

You are not limited to these suggestions. Type anything in natural language and Bybit AI will interpret your intent and show you what it plans to do before acting.

Tips for getting more out of Bybit AI

Be specific

The more precise your instruction, the better the result. Instead of "check my balance," try "what is my USDT balance across all accounts?"

Bybit AI confirms before it acts

For any financial action — transfers, trades, purchases — Bybit AI shows you exactly what it plans to do and asks for your approval before proceeding. Never skip the confirmation step.

Know when to expect a human

Bybit AI resolves the majority of support queries instantly. For complex compliance and escalation cases, it routes you to a human agent automatically. This is by design, not a limitation.

The bottom line

Bybit AI reduces the gap between what you need and when you get it. No menus, no multi-step flows, no page switching — just a conversation. With a setup time of a few minutes and 10 starter prompts to guide your first session, you can be making real requests from the moment you log in.

Open Bybit AI now: on the app, tap More → Trade → Bybit AI; on web, go to Tools → Bybit AI. Type your first command and see what it does.
