1️⃣ About Nansen Agent

What is Nansen AI (Agent)?

Nansen AI is the start of a new way to trade.

Instead of spending hours jumping between dashboards, just ask about anything onchain—smart money movements, token flows, or market trends—through conversation.

This agentic interface allows investors and traders to manage their portfolio, get real-time onchain insights, and stack Points, whether you're on desktop or mobile.

Is this available on both web and mobile?

Yes. Nansen AI works seamlessly across both platforms:

  • Web (Beta) - Bigger screen means you can see the full Token Screener, Smart Money dashboard, and agent simultaneously. Best for deep research sessions.

  • Mobile - Perfect for quick execution and trading on the go. Carry all your insights and research with you, anywhere.

Your chat history syncs automatically between devices, so you can start research on desktop and continue on mobile (or vice versa) without losing context.

How is desktop different from mobile?

They're the same agentic experience, optimized for different contexts. Your conversations sync between them, so use whichever fits your workflow at that moment.

Is this just a mobile version of the web app?

They are complementary, but instead of clicking through dashboards and charts, you now have the ability to have a natural voice conversation about any onchain question and get the exact insights you need. It's research at the speed of thought, optimized for mobile.

The web app is still there when you want to dive into dashboards and charts. Nansen AI is a new experience: conversational, fast, and designed for on-the-go insights. Think of it as research at the speed of thought — made for your phone.

How is this different from using ChatGPT, Claude, or Grok?

General-purpose AI tools are powerful, but they aren’t built for onchain.

Nansen AI is trained on real-time onchain data, enriched with our 500M+ labeled addresses, and optimized for portfolio-specific insights.

Where tools like ChatGPT or Claude can give you general explanations, Nansen AI connects directly to the crypto markets - showing you smart money flows, portfolio movements, and token-level intelligence in seconds.

Think of AI models as generalists, while Nansen AI as a specialist.

Who is this for?

The app is for onchain investors and traders who want an edge, but we’re already seeing strong signals from funds, researchers, and developers too.

Whether you're doing deep research on desktop or executing quick trades on mobile, the agentic experience makes insights and trading simpler, smarter, and more accessible.

Why not just improve on existing dashboards?

Dashboards still have their place - especially on desktop when you need full visibility across multiple data points.

But an agent removes the barrier between you and the data. Just ask in plain language, and the insights come to you. You can have both: dashboards for visual analysis, and the agent for conversational execution - all in the same workspace.

Can I trade with this?

Yes. Trading is live on both web and mobile.

Agentic trading is a new way to trade. Execute single swaps and even rebalance your portfolio through simple conversation. You always give final confirmation before anything executes. Think of it as "AI co-pilot, human final say."

⚠️ Currently, users located in the following regions cannot access trading on Nansen due to regulatory or payment processor limitations: Singapore, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Ukraine regions (Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk), Russia

Is this free?

Yes, you can use this for free. To get the most out of Nansen AI, we also offer on Pro plan.

Do I need to signup for a new account for mobile?

When it comes to mobile, you can log in with the same Nansen account you already use on the web app.

All your portfolios, conversations, and watchlists, and settings carry over seamlessly.

How come the recommendations of tokens are different each time for the same prompt?

Our AI agent provides recommendations based on constantly changing market data, so you may get different suggestions even with the same question.

Like all AI models, our agent isn't perfect and responses can sometimes vary. Market conditions, smart money movements, and trading activity change throughout the day, which affects the recommendations you receive.

This is normal AI behavior - think of it like asking a human analyst the same question at different times. They might give you different answers based on what's happening in the markets at that moment.
