Huge thanks to William Entriken for last week's talk, "AI Agents in Prediction Markets," at AI Philly. @fulldecent@aiphilly_
Will broke down how AI agents can participate in prediction markets, using Polymarket as a working example of how betting markets actually function.
He connected the market mechanics to the engineering behind them: machine learning for financial back testing, AI-assisted programming, and the practical judgment it takes to turn an idea into a market-facing system.
Great crowd, good questions, and (as always) pizza. Thanks Will for sharing your work, and thanks to everyone who came out.
Up next!!

This Thursday at Blockspace: AI Agents in Prediction Markets 🗓️
We're hosting AI Philly for a talk with William Entriken on how AI agents play in prediction markets, a space where market mechanics, data, and automation collide. @fulldecent@aiphilly_
Using Polymarket as the working example, William breaks down how betting markets actually function and how builders think about signals, risk, and execution.
You'll walk away understanding:
- How betting markets work on Polymarket
- ML techniques for financial back-testing
- How engineers use AI tools to ship real systems
Building products? Betting the markets? Working on algo/AI trading? This one is for you. 🎯
📍 Location: Blockspace Philly
📅 Date: Thursday, June 18
⏰ Time: 6:00 PM
