# BotSpot vs Composer: AI strategy creation and automated trading

BotSpot starts with a conversational agent for research, approved one-time trades, and complete Lumibot strategy workflows. Composer centers on Symphonies that users can create with AI, edit visually, backtest, and invest in for automated execution.

## Same broad promise, different product boundary

Both products support natural-language strategy creation and historical backtesting. BotSpot wraps those capabilities inside a broader trading agent that can research, prepare approved one-time trades, generate Lumibot code, and operate through supported broker connections.

Composer presents strategies as Symphonies. Its documented workflow combines AI creation, a visual block editor, backtests, discovery, and automated execution inside Composer.

## When Composer may fit better

- You prefer a no-code visual strategy made from documented Symphony building blocks.
- You want to browse, inspect, edit, or invest in pre-built and community Symphonies.
- You want strategy creation, backtesting, and automated allocation execution inside Composer’s brokerage workflow.

## Backtests do not equal live results

Composer documents its backtests as hypothetical simulations and explains that historical inputs and execution assumptions differ from live trading. BotSpot backtests are historical simulations too. Neither product can guarantee future results.

## Who should use which

Use BotSpot when you want a conversational agent that can research, prepare an approved one-time trade, and build inspectable Lumibot strategies through currently supported brokers.

Use the other product on this page when its documented workflow is the job you need first: specialist charting, brokerage, no-code allocation, or research tooling rather than the full BotSpot workspace.

Backtests mentioned for either product are historical simulations. They are not live results and do not guarantee future performance. Include drawdown and date range whenever a number is shown.
