## Core difference

An AI trading bot usually implies automated execution or signals. A quant research assistant helps investigate evidence, explain signals, compare assumptions, and document strategy ideas without placing trades.

- Trading bot intent: execution, alerts, automation, or order routing.
- Research assistant intent: evidence review, signal explanation, strategy analysis, and thesis building.
- Quant AI targets the research assistant intent and avoids guaranteed buy-sell signals.
