We Built an AI Trading Bot for Prediction Markets — Here’s What Actually Happened

Can AI actually beat prediction markets — or does the house always win? In Episode 26 of Built This Week, Sam Nadler and Jordan Metzner kick off 2026 by breaking down a real AI trading bot Jordan built for prediction markets like Kalshi, using live market data, whale detection, coordination signals, and confidence scoring. Jordan walks through the full system — backend, frontend, live alerts, and execution logic — and shares the honest results: a 66 percent win rate that still lost money once fees and market dynamics were factored in. The takeaway is not hype. It is reality. The episode also dives into: Why prediction markets feel like gambling but are regulated differently How insider-like signals emerge from coordination and volume behavior Why bots end up trading against bots Where real alpha might exist (and where it does not) We also cover: Google NotebookLM as a serious education and onboarding tool Turning documents into infographics, slide decks, and audio learning Nvidia entering autonomous driving and competing with Tesla Nvidia’s new Rubin architecture and why it matters Tesla vs Waymo economics and the future of Full Self Driving Why Anthropic and Claude Code are becoming developer defaults This is not theory. This is what happens when you actually deploy AI systems into real markets.
