Welcome to milo’s Universe A Beginner’s Story About an AI Portfolio Manager

from Moti (marooned), co- founder of &milo


Most people step into crypto the same way sailors once approached the open ocean.

No maps. No instruments. No visibility. Just instincts, hope, and whatever the wind felt like that day.

Some made it to land. Most didn’t.

For years, trading has been the same: you open a chart, scroll through social feeds, skim a few metrics, feel something in your gut… and hope you’re not sailing straight into a storm.

I built milo for one simple reason:

No one should have to navigate modern markets with ancient tools.

Let me show you how milo changes your journey but explained like a real story.


1. The Doorway Into a New World

This is the moment before the journey begins.

When you click Get Started, you’re not “opening an app.” You’re stepping into an ecosystem where an AI will navigate the markets with you almost like boarding a ship where the captain already knows the waters.

Connect your wallet or create a new one using your Gmail or any other social login.

Behind the scenes, milo connects to the equivalent of:

  • radar (on-chain RPC data)

  • weather satellites (market APIs like Birdeye)

  • crowd noise sensors (social data from Cookie)

If you don’t know what these platforms are that’s the point.

They are trusted, industry-standard sources of:

  • live blockchain activity

  • price, volume, liquidity

  • market sentiment and early narratives

But milo translates them into plain language you can act on.

2. Funding the Journey

Think of SOL as fuel.

Just like no ship crosses the ocean without provisions, no trader can operate without gas for transactions.

That’s all the funding screen means:

  • it checks if your “fuel tank” is filled

  • you can top up anytime

  • your funds stay in your wallet

milo doesn’t hold your money he simply helps you operate your own vessel.

3. Meeting the Navigator

Here’s where milo starts talking.

Notice something important: he doesn’t overwhelm you with charts, flashing prices, or a thousand indicators.

It’s closer to walking onto the deck and having your navigator calmly say:

“Winds are shifting northwest. A few ships ahead are gaining speed. The current looks favorable want me to take a closer look?”

This calm clarity is only possible because milo is constantly reading:

  • the blockchain (like an ocean's currents)

  • market flows (like wind patterns)

  • social chatter (like distant sailor reports of land or storms)

He takes millions of data points → distills them → and speaks to you like a human.

4. How milo Thinks: The Captain’s Ledger

When milo generates a thesis, what you’re seeing is essentially his captain’s log a written explanation of why he believes this path makes sense.

Here’s one:

Another:

Let me translate this into human terms.

He uses:

  • RPC on-chain data to track liquidity, whale moves, price stability

  • Birdeye data to map volume, volatility, and trends

  • Cookie social data to detect early narrative shifts

  • His reasoning engine to combine it all

It’s like watching an experienced captain mark:

  • wind direction

  • incoming weather

  • ocean currents

  • crew readiness

  • risk factors

And then writing in the ledger:

“We will approach from the east. If winds shift before dawn, we adjust course. Probability: moderate. Reward: high.”

This is not hype. This is structured, contextual decision making.

5. AutoTrade ON When milo Takes the Wheel

Here is the part most new users don’t fully grasp at first:

AutoTrade isn’t a toggle. It’s a transfer of responsibility.

You define:

  • how much risk you tolerate

  • how much of your wallet milo may use

  • any personal rules (no microcaps, no high volatility, etc.)

Then milo becomes the captain of your portfolio ship.

He scans the waters. He decides which opportunities look sane. He writes a plan. He enters. He monitors. He adjusts. He exits. He logs everything.

What you see is the clean summary:

But behind the scenes, here’s what’s happening:

The Scan

Like radar sweeping 360°, milo processes on-chain blocks in real time.

The Analysis

He identifies patterns compression, expansion, breakouts, liquidity traps.

The Thesis

This is the equivalent of plotting a route.

The Execution

He waits for the right moment. No FOMO. No hesitation.

The Monitoring

He watches the position like a real PM. If conditions change, he adapts.

The Exit

He closes the position the moment the reason to be in it is gone not when emotions flare.

This entire system used to be available only to hedge funds.

Now it sits in your pocket.

6. Asking milo Anything He’s Not a Black Box

When you ask Milo:

“Compare ZEC and Pump.”

He doesn’t spit out an opinion.

He pulls:

  • liquidity

  • whale exposure

  • volatility risk

  • security assumptions

  • social momentum

  • technical structure

This is like asking a seasoned analyst:

“Tell me everything you know about these two companies.”

And you get the complete breakdown not a guess, not a vibe.

7. milo Tracks Your Journey for You

Every pending position, every active trade, every memo milo keeps it organized.

This is your voyage journal.

Even months later, you can look back and see:

  • why you took a trade

  • what the market looked like

  • what milo saw

  • how it played out

This transparency is your compass.

8. Sharing the Journey: Invite & Earn

This part is simple: bring friends along, and milo rewards you because trading is better together.

It’s like building your own fleet. Everyone moves further, faster.

Final Words Why milo Exists

A long time ago, sailors navigated by stars. Later came compasses. Then maps. Then radar. Then GPS. Then autopilot.

Each evolution wasn't about making sailors lazy. It was about making journeys safer, smarter, and more accessible.

Crypto is no different.

Human intuition is not enough anymore. The waters are too fast, too unpredictable, too crowded.

milo is not here to replace you. He is here to give you the tools only professionals once had:

  • real-time data

  • deep analysis

  • disciplined execution

  • continuous monitoring

  • objective reasoning

milo is your compass, radar, navigator, and autopilot and you remain the captain.

Welcome aboard. Your journey into milo’s Universe begins now.
