Autostream Agent: An Intelligent Research Assistant for Prediction Markets Based on Agent Framework

Autostream Agent is a Python backend project built on the Hermes Agent Framework, focusing on the prediction market domain. Through its intelligent agent architecture, it automatically performs information retrieval, analysis, and insight generation, helping traders solve the problem of processing massive amounts of information and assisting in decision-making.

Prediction markets are a collective intelligence mechanism where participants express their expectations about future events through contracts. However, the massive amount of market information and complex contexts require traders to spend a lot of time on research and analysis. Autostream Agent is designed precisely to solve this problem.

Autostream Agent adopts an agent-based backend architecture and proactively completes the following steps: 1. Understand query intent; 2. Plan information collection strategies; 3. Execute multi-round searches; 4. Comprehensive analysis; 5. Generate JSON-structured output. The tech stack includes Hermes Agent Framework (agent orchestration), requests (external API calls), and python-dotenv (configuration management).

1. Prediction market topic search: Identify relevant entities and backgrounds, and build information profiles; 2. Automated research aggregation: Aggregate information from multiple sources such as news and social media; 3. JSON-structured output: Includes market trends, event timelines, sentiment indicators, and data source references; 4. Modular design: Facilitates expansion of new information sources and customization of analysis logic.

1. Market trend research: Generate event summaries (historical background, key factors, past results, market sentiment); 2. Sentiment analysis: Aggregate news and social media data to generate sentiment indicators; 3. Complex event retrieval: Systematically collect various perspectives and data on multi-factor events (e.g., elections).

Deployment steps: Clone the repository → Install dependencies → Run main.py. Design philosophy: 1. Vertical domain focus (precise information sources, domain-specific analysis logic); 2. Human-machine collaboration (AI handles information processing, humans make decisions).

Potential expansions: Real-time data stream integration, multi-agent collaboration, prediction model integration. Summary: Autostream Agent applies the agent architecture to a vertical domain, helping traders save time on information collection and providing developers with a reference implementation for agent applications.
