How to Talk to Auto

Auto understands natural language — you type what you want in plain English, and Auto executes it. There are no special commands, slashes, or syntax required. The more specific your message, the faster Auto acts.

How specific should my prompts be?

Direct, specific prompts execute faster and produce more accurate results than vague requests. Here is how general prompts compare to specific ones:

Instead of...	Try...	Why it's better
"Can you swap some tokens?"	"Swap 0.5 ETH to USDC on Base"	Specifies token, amount, and chain
"I want to check something"	"What's the price of SOL?"	Names the exact token
"Help me with DeFi"	"Show me the best USDC yields right now"	Specifies the asset and action

What amount formats does Auto understand?

Auto parses four amount formats for any trading or transfer operation:

• Exact token amounts: "Swap 100 USDC to ETH"

• Dollar amounts: "Swap $50 worth of ETH to USDC"

• Percentage of holdings: "Swap 50% of my ETH to USDC"

• Entire balance: "Swap all my USDC to ETH"

How do I specify a blockchain in Auto?

Auto accepts full chain names and common abbreviations. Use any of these formats:

Chain	Accepted formats
Ethereum	"on Ethereum", "on eth", "on mainnet"
Base	"on Base", "on base"
Arbitrum	"on Arbitrum", "on arb"
Polygon	"on Polygon", "on poly"
Optimism	"on Optimism", "on op"
Solana	"on Solana", "on sol"

If you do not specify a chain, Auto selects the optimal chain automatically based on fees and token availability.

How does Auto identify tokens?

Auto recognizes tokens by their ticker symbol — ETH, USDC, BTC, SOL, WBTC, AAVE, and thousands more. Auto resolves each symbol to the correct contract address on the correct chain. You do not need to provide contract addresses.

Can Auto handle multi-step requests?

Auto executes complex, multi-step requests from a single message. Each step runs in order, with confirmations where needed:

"Check my ETH on Base and Arbitrum, swap 30% of my Base ETH to USDC, then bridge 200 USDC from Base to Ethereum."

Auto processes this as three sequential operations: balance check, swap execution, and bridge transfer.

How to research tokens before trading

A common workflow is to research first, then trade based on what you find:

You: "What memecoins are trending on Base right now?"

Auto: Shows top 3 trending tokens with risk notes

You: "Buy $100 of the strongest one"

Auto: Executes the swap and confirms

This research-then-act pattern works for any token, DeFi protocol, or market condition.

How to discover what Auto can do

Auto lists its available capabilities for any domain when you ask. Use these prompts to explore:

"What can you do with Polymarket?"

"What DeFi operations do you support?"

"Show me what wallet actions you have"

Auto returns a structured list of supported actions in that category, so you always know what is available.
