Hey everyone! 👋 Maker here.

Building Minara started from a real pain point - I was tired of juggling 10+ tabs just to manage my crypto positions across different chains. The existing tools felt either too complex for newcomers or too basic for serious traders.

So we built what we wished existed: an AI assistant that actually understands trading context. You can literally type "swap 100 USDC to ETH when ETH drops below $3000" and it handles the rest.

The hardest part? Making complex crypto operations feel simple without dumbing them down. We spent months refining the AI to give actionable insights, not just data dumps.

Would love your feedback - especially from fellow builders in the crypto and ai space. What features would make your trading life easier?

@heal_yi Appreciate for your words and contribution.

That “10+ tabs across chains” pain is exactly what pushed us to build Minara too. We’re trying to make the loop from context → plan → execution feel seamless in one place, without turning it into a complicated pro terminal.


If anyone here has thoughts on what would make an AI execution copilot genuinely useful (or what would make you trust it more), we’d really love your feedback.

This is a project that solves a big pain point that I have with crypto investing - expertise. With Minara, the walls are crumbling down and everyone has access to information.

Frank Li

@kf_builds Thanks for your kind words, Kai.

One thing we’ve built deliberately is our analysis framework inside Minara's multi-agent system: Minara pulls from multiple data sources (market + on-chain signals), runs structured reasoning, and cross-checks key claims before turning it into a clear, decision-ready view.

The goal isn’t just “more information,” but higher-confidence context you can actually act on. with transparency about what’s known vs uncertain.

I tend to collect too many links and screenshots, then still hesitate. If Minara can consistently turn that mess into a clear “so what,” that’s a real upgrade.

Frank Li

@lvyanghuang That’s exactly the pain: every time you want to find an investment opportunity and buy some cryptos or stocks, you end up with a folder of links and screenshots, but no clear “so what,” so you hesitate and not doing anything.

Now Minara turns them into a decision-ready snapshot: the core thesis, what evidence actually supports it, what would invalidate it, and a concrete and reasonable plan (how to set and make the trade). If you choose to act, the next step can stay in the same thread so you don’t lose context bouncing between tools.

No promises and just help you to decide, of course. But it’s a reliable way to turn “research clutter” into a clear next action and a record you can review later.

Love the vision of a virtual CFO! The UI looks very clean. One thing though, how do you guys handle the price gap during the chat? Revolut locks the rate for a few seconds so the user doesn't get screwed by volatility. Does Minara have something similar built into the window, or is there some slippage protection?

Frank Li

@valeriia_kuna Hey Valeriia. I am glad you like our UI. Also, you raised a very good question.

That “rate lock / slippage safety” is a must-have in volatile markets.

For perps trading feature (Trading Copilot): Orders execute on Hyperliquid, and Minara supports both limit and market orders. Our “Quick Order” flow by Copilot pre-fills a limit entry plus take-profit and stop-loss, and you confirm before placing, so you’re not forced into a drifting market fill.

For spot swaps: execution follows the underlying DEX routing at the time the transaction is submitted, so the final fill can move with market conditions (typical on-chain behavior). We don’t claim a Revolut-style guaranteed rate lock window today.

Are you asking about spot swaps or perps execution? I can point to the exact behavior for that flow.

Valeriia Kuna

@frank_li13 Thanks for the detailed breakdown, Frank! I was mainly thinking about spot swaps—just from a casual user perspective, wondering how much the price could move while chatting.

The workflow builder is the kind of feature that can make Minara sticky. It feels like something that could become part of a weekly routine.

Frank Li

@xiangst0816 Yes, Minara workflows are meant to handle tedious and repeatable tasks for you in digital finance.

A common weekly routine we see is: setting workflows to monitor specific conditions, getting notified when something materially changes via email or a Telegram bot, or directly triggering a trade through a workflow.


If you end up trying it, the best place to start is with one workflow that matches your preferences (such as a weekly watchlist check or a simple rule-based alert), and then build more cool workflows from there.

Huge congrats on the launch — love how Minara closes the gap between insight and on-chain execution in a single, focused chat experience.​

Frank Li

@zeiki_yu Thank you, we really appreciate that. If you get a chance to try it, I’d love to hear your feedback or any suggestions for future improvement

Samet Sezer

invest in one chat is bold. i usually prefer a gap between my research and my wallet just for safety/sanity. is the execution layer non-custodial?

Mike

Minara feels like a real “AI CFO” for digital finance, not just another chatbot. I like how it combines real-time market/on-chain insights with natural-language agent workflows, so research can actually turn into action in one place. Excited to see more clarity on safety/controls around execution, but overall a strong launch.

Frank Li

@zongze_x Thank you. We’re aiming to connect real-time market + on-chain context with structured workflows for all the crypto and stocks users, so research doesn’t die in a notes app and can translate into a clear plan and next step in the same place.

On execution, we’re intentionally conservative today: actions are explicitly user-confirmed, and we focus on keeping risk constraints and the decision trail visible.

Really enjoying how Minara treats execution as a first-class citizen, not an afterthought. A lot of tools help you understand what’s happening, but the moment where insight has to turn into a decision is where most people freeze. Keeping research, reasoning, and action in one calm thread feels like a very intentional choice, and it shows.

The emphasis on clarity and restraint also stands out. In markets that reward speed and noise, designing for confidence and composure feels quietly radical.

I’m launching something today from a slightly different but a similar philosophy angle and intent. Number Our Days is about time awareness and purposeful living, helping people see their days, seasons, and milestones clearly so action follows reflection instead of impulse. Different domain, same belief that structure creates freedom.

Congrats to the team on the launch. This feels like a product built by people who actually use it!

Frank Li

@saemscodes Thank you, this is one of the most meaningful notes we’ve received today. And congrats on your launch too "Number Our Days" sounds like it shares the same core belief: structure creates freedom. Wishing you a strong day on Product Hunt.

Vera Serova

Minara feels like this mediator between wanting and actually starting. def giving it a try! congrats on the launch!

Frank Li

@yellow_yetti Thank you. I hope it helps you move from intention to a clean next step. If you try it, feel free to let me know what you think and if it's a good mediator.
