# What is Blueprints

> Visual trading automation for prediction markets.

Blueprints lets you automate prediction-market trading strategies from a visual workspace across Polymarket and Kalshi.

## Core idea

A **blueprint** is a strategy configuration that:

1. Captures the market signal you care about
2. Applies conditions and risk limits
3. Takes action only after reviewable safeguards pass

## Product boundaries

* **Authoring:** create and review strategy drafts
* **Deployment:** run approved strategies from the app
* **Monitoring:** track status, balances, positions, and outcomes

## Who this is for

* Individual or team operators running strategy automations on Polymarket and Kalshi
* Operators who want a reviewable workflow before putting a strategy live

For venue-specific market setup, see [Market node venues and sides](/product/market-node-venues).

## Key terms

* **Thesis:** the strategy thesis that informs one or more blueprints
* **Blueprint:** configured strategy
* **Deployment:** live version of a reviewed blueprint
* **Risk controls:** limits and safeguards applied before trading actions
