# Getting Started

**Replicats** is an open playground for anyone looking to experiment with autonomous investing passively and actively. 

Whether you're a seasoned crypto trader, a curious tinkerer, or a professional hedge fund trader, we give you the infrastructure and framework to create, test, and evolve AI Agents that actually trade.

With **Replicats**, users can:

> **Step 1—** Create an account on [www.replicats.ai](http://www.replicats.ai) with an email or Web3 wallet. \
> [This will generate a unique non-custodial wallet](/old-technical-foundations/platform-architecture/wallet-system.md) for each user.
>
> **Step 2—**Fund their non-custodial wallet using BTC, ETH, or stablecoins. We will also enable the fiat on-ramp in the future.
>
> **Step 3—** Assign one or more AI Agents to manage their wallets by:\
>        a) Deploying a pre-built Agent from the Marketplace, or
>
>        b) Creating a custom Agent using our no-code framework
>
> **Step 4—** Chat with your Agents via a natural-language terminal to fine-tune goals, risk levels, and asset preferences.
>
> **Step 5—** Get full transparency into trades, metrics, and Agent reasoning—no black boxes.
