# BenAwf > AI-assisted trading platform. ## Summary BenAwf is a free AI-assisted trading workbench. Users bring their own LLM keys (BYOK) and pay their model vendor — no BenAwf checkout required. ## How it works 1. Sessions represent a user's trading context (venue, environment, symbols, risk). 2. Each session uses a strategy expressed as a prompt and related configuration. 3. A periodic service evaluates the market, applies the strategy, and produces trading decisions. 4. The trading engine turns those decisions into venue actions safely (paper or live). ## Core capabilities - Trading sessions (paper and live) - Strategy prompts, agents, and strategy lab - Backtests and trade history - Periodic market assessment - BYOK model keys (you pay your vendor) - Free workbench — strategies, backtests, and sessions ## Key pages - https://benawf.com/ - https://benawf.com/bring-your-key - https://benawf.com/faq - https://benawf.com/about - https://benawf.com/strategy-lab - https://benawf.com/trading-agents - https://benawf.com/backtesting - https://benawf.com/integrations - https://benawf.com/get-started - https://benawf.com/terms - https://benawf.com/privacy ## Contact support@benawf.com
