What can Convicta do?
This page details the features of each product in the Convicta ecosystem — Convicta News, Polymarket Pulse, the web app, and the Chrome extension — and explains how they connect. Everything runs on one engine: a rule-based news→market matching graph where every match is traceable to the rule that produced it. Features marked ⏳ warming up are AI-assisted and metered; during community testing they may be limited, while the rule-based features run normally.
How does the shared engine work?
One pipeline feeds all four surfaces:
- Ingest. 1,600+ news sources in 20 languages — Telegram channels, RSS/wire feeds, and more — flow into one stream.
- Understand. Each story is de-duplicated, tagged, and reduced to explicit relationships (who did what to whom). AI summaries compress it to the point (⏳).
- Match. The story’s relationships are checked against a graph of topics and Polymarket market definitions. A match happens only when the relationships line up under an explicit rule — every match is traceable back to that rule, not to a hidden similarity score.
- Deliver. The result reaches you wherever you are: the News feed, a Pulse alert, a digest, the web app, or the extension’s surfaces on polymarket.com.
That is why the products feel consistent: a story that appears in your News feed, triggers a Pulse alert, and shows up in the extension’s market widget is the same story, matched by the same rule.
Convicta News features
- Multi-source aggregation. 1,600+ sources in 20 languages, brought into one feed — Telegram channels plus RSS and wire feeds.
- Deduplication. Near-identical reposts collapse into one story, so you see it once instead of dozens of times.
- Rule-based tagging and filtering. Each item is tagged and sorted into your chosen categories — no black-box scoring.
- AI summaries (⏳). Each item is compressed to a short summary instead of a raw clipped excerpt; summaries are on by default.
- Translation (⏳). News delivered in your language, controllable globally, per category, and per source.
- “Why you got this.” Cards carry context explaining why the item reached you.
- Breaking-news flashes. When enough independent sources confirm the same event, you get a flash even during quiet hours.
- Daily digest. A configurable once-a-day roundup instead of (or alongside) the running stream.
- Delivery control. Quiet hours, per-source and per-category snooze, collapse of repeats, per-group delivery frequency (instant or batched every 1–4 hours), personal mute/highlight words. Full list: Settings map.
- Your own sources. On the paid plan, add your own sources and import an OPML file.
- World-wires preview. A curated world-news stream every free user gets automatically.
Polymarket Pulse features
Alerts — each type has its own module toggle and per-alert switches (Settings map):
- Price / threshold alerts (“Notify me”) — a market crosses a level you set; multiple triggers per market.
- Market-move and top-movers alerts — significant price changes across markets you follow, with sensitivity presets (loose / balanced / strict).
- Whale alerts — large trades above a configurable dollar threshold.
- Trader alerts — real-time trades by traders you follow, plus a daily trader digest.
- Market resolution tracking — proposed → disputed → resolved, with the dispute-window countdown.
- News triggers — breaking news matched to markets in your watchlist, your open positions, your followed traders’ markets, or your chosen topics; optional Discover mode surfaces relevant markets from the whole Polymarket universe.
- Digests — category digests, weekly recaps, and a portfolio summary.
Portfolio and traders:
- Portfolio tracking — positions and value for your connected wallet, with a daily portfolio module.
- Trader-watch — follow specific traders/wallets and see their activity with per-trade context.
Edge (⏳ experimental):
- Edge is an AI-computed fair-value estimate for a market — a number to weigh against the current price. It is an early, experimental version that improves as our models and data improve. Edge is not financial advice; the decision is always yours.
Web app features
The web app mirrors both Mini Apps in a browser: the news feed, market browsing, portfolio, and all settings. Sign in with Google, email, or Telegram; the same plan applies everywhere. Alerts and digests are still delivered in Telegram — the web is the reading-and-managing surface. See Getting started: Web app.
Chrome extension features
The extension puts the same engine’s output directly on polymarket.com:
- Market-page widget — matched news, the Edge estimate, recent large trades, and resolution status for the market you are viewing, plus per-outcome Edge chips and a Watch button.
- “Notify me” on the page — set a price-move alert without leaving polymarket.com.
- Notification center — a gold bell in the top bar opens a live sidebar of your Convicta alerts.
- Newspaper — a top-bar dropdown of news for your positions and the markets on screen.
- Coverage dots — 📰 markers on market lists showing which markets have tracked news.
- Trader-page tools — follow bar, latest trade, extra stats, and watcher counts on trader profiles.
- Tab price flash — the tab title blinks on price moves.
Anonymous by default; signing in unlocks the personal surfaces. Install guide: Getting started: Chrome extension. Every surface has a toggle: Settings map.
What does Convicta deliberately not claim?
- Not real-time news alerts. News-to-market matching runs on a batch cadence — timely and complete, not millisecond-live. (Price, whale, and trader alerts do run off live market data.)
- No accuracy percentage. We lead with auditability and traceability — properties you can verify — and do not publish a hit-rate or accuracy figure until it has been measured on a labeled benchmark.
- No trading execution. Convicta informs decisions; it does not place trades. Automated execution is in development and not available — see the Roadmap.
