Answers questions about your account
Your balance, what’s available, what you earned and spent, what needs review. Ask the way you’d ask a colleague.
: The AI agent that drafts, and never sends.
BART knows your account and the exchange. Ask who to spend with, why your balance moved or what’s on your statement. When credits should move, BART drafts the payment or charge, then waits for you to confirm it.

What BART can do
Ask in plain words. Get a straight answer.
BART reads your balance, transactions, trades and the marketplace, so it answers from your own account. Six things it does for you:
Explains any transaction or chart
Press Explain on a chart or a transaction and BART tells you what happened, in a few short sentences.
Finds members to spend with
“Who can I spend 2,000 credits with on printing?” BART searches the exchange and says why each member fits.
Drafts payments, charges and listings
Say who to pay or charge and how much, or what you sell. BART drafts it for you to check and confirm, and a charge still waits for the other member’s approval.
Writes your weekly recap
Once a week, BART sums up what you earned and spent, in a few plain sentences you can follow up on.
Works from anywhere in the app
Press ⌘J (Ctrl+J) on any screen to open BART beside what you’re looking at, or start from BART’s icon on a card. You can also connect Claude or another assistant that supports MCP to your account.
You stay in control
Nothing moves until you confirm
BART drafts; you decide. A draft is a card in the conversation, not a transfer.
- Drafts, not transfers
- BART prepares a payment or a charge. It never moves credits on its own.
- The numbers, up front
- Each draft shows the member, the amount and what you’ll have available after.
- Drafts expire
- A draft you don’t confirm expires, so nothing is left waiting to be sent.
- You press Pay
- Credits move only when you press Pay or Send charge, and a charge still waits for the other member’s approval.
- Honest about mistakes
- BART can make mistakes, and says so right under the box you type in. Check amounts before confirming.
- Private to you
- Your threads with BART are private to you. BART works from your own account and the exchange’s listings.
