Why I built DeskBot as local Kalshi desk automation (and a quick Capital vote ask)
Description and use
DeskBot is a local desktop app that automates Kalshi desk workflows while keeping API keys on the user’s machine, offering a low‑cost subscription.
Problem
Prediction‑market tooling often requires users to store API keys in the cloud, raising security and trust concerns.
Outcome
DeskBot enables secure, local automation of Kalshi desk workflows, eliminating the need to trust cloud services with API keys and offering a low‑cost subscription model.
Workflow
- Install DeskBot Multi15 from the store
- Enter your Kalshi API key into the app
- Configure desired desk automation tasks
- Run the automation locally on your Mac/Windows
Evidence
I wanted the opposite: run on your Mac/Windows, keep credentials local, and stay honest about risk.
Your own API key
$1 first month, then $19.99/mo (not a free trial)
