AI Reasoning Display

Transparent view into how Ainexa Agent makes decisions

AI Reasoning Display

Ainexa shows its thinking process when making decisions, giving you transparency into how the AI arrives at its recommendations and actions.

What is Reasoning Display?

When the AI performs complex operations, it can show its reasoning process - the steps and considerations it takes before giving you a final answer or recommendation.

This helps you:

  • Understand why the AI suggests certain actions
  • Verify the logic behind recommendations
  • Learn about crypto concepts and best practices
  • Trust the AI's decision-making process

When Reasoning Appears

Reasoning is shown for complex decisions:

Swap Route Selection

Reasoning:
- Comparing routes: Uniswap direct vs 1inch aggregator
- Direct swap: 0.0432 ETH, $2.10 gas
- 1inch: 0.0435 ETH, $1.80 gas
- Selecting 1inch: better output + lower gas

Result: Swapping via 1inch for 0.0435 ETH

Portfolio Analysis

Reasoning:
- Calculating allocation percentages
- Checking concentration risk (ETH at 65%)
- Comparing to typical diversification
- Identifying stablecoin underweight

Result: Portfolio is ETH-heavy. Consider diversifying.

Bridge Selection

Reasoning:
- Available bridges: Across, Stargate, Hop
- Across: $1.20 fee, ~5 min
- Stargate: $2.50 fee, ~15 min
- Hop: $1.80 fee, ~10 min
- Selecting Across: fastest and cheapest

Result: Bridging via Across Protocol

How to Enable/Disable

Reasoning display can be toggled:

  1. Settings: Find "Show AI Reasoning" in preferences
  2. Chat command: "Show your reasoning" or "Hide reasoning"
  3. Default: Enabled for complex operations

Benefits

Transparency

See exactly why the AI made specific choices. No black box decision-making.

Education

Learn about:

  • How DEX routing works
  • Gas optimization strategies
  • Risk assessment in crypto
  • Best practices for transactions

Verification

Double-check the AI's logic before approving transactions. Catch potential issues before they happen.

Trust Building

Understanding the reasoning builds confidence in the AI's recommendations over time.

Examples

Staking Recommendation

Your question: Should I stake my NEAR?

Reasoning:
- Current NEAR holdings: 500 NEAR (~$1,320)
- Current staking APY: 9.2%
- Estimated annual reward: 46 NEAR (~$121)
- Unbonding period: 52-65 hours
- Consideration: You haven't needed these funds recently
- Risk: Funds locked during unbonding

Recommendation: Staking is reasonable if you don't need
immediate access. Consider liquid staking for flexibility.

Gas Timing

Your request: Swap 1000 USDC to ETH

Reasoning:
- Current gas: 45 gwei ($8.50 estimate)
- 24h average: 32 gwei
- Current time: Peak hours (high activity)
- Gas trend: Declining in last hour

Suggestion: Gas is elevated. Wait 2-3 hours for
lower fees, or proceed now if timing matters.

Customization

You can adjust reasoning verbosity:

  • Minimal: Key decision points only
  • Standard: Main reasoning steps (default)
  • Detailed: Full analysis with all factors

Adjust in settings or ask: "Give me detailed reasoning" or "Keep reasoning brief"
