Launching predtools — production bots for prediction markets

Why I built this catalog, what's in it, and what's next.

by Arnaud Knobloch

Today I'm opening predtools to the public. It's a catalog of production-grade trading bots for Polymarket and (soon) Kalshi. Every bot in the catalog is code I run on my own capital.

The rest of this post is a tour: what's in the launch lineup, how I decided what to build, and what's coming next.

What's in the launch lineup

The launch catalog covers the main strategy archetypes: 5-minute binary scalpers, whale copy-trading, weather tail events, and maker market-making. Each bot is a standalone Node.js script with no framework overhead.

How I decided what to build

I started by running bots personally and finding the gaps. Most open-source examples stop at proof-of-concept. They don't handle resolution, don't manage fees correctly, and don't have restart logic. Every predtools bot fills those gaps.

What's next

Kalshi support, a 15-minute BTC binary scalper, and a resolution sniping bot are in progress. Blog posts covering real results, fee analysis, and strategy postmortems will follow.
