Kalshi launched the AI risk management tool Blanket to help small businesses hedge operational risks by predicting the market

The prediction market platform Kalshi announced the launch of the AI tool Blanket, aimed at helping small businesses hedge operational risks related to weather, energy prices, tariffs, elections, and more using event contracts.

Blanket was developed by independent fintech entrepreneur Lauris Zminsky, based on Kalshi's CFTC-regulated prediction market operations, but it is not an internal product of Kalshi. The tool does not directly execute trades or handle funds, but instead analyzes the risks faced by businesses through AI and recommends Kalshi event contracts that can be used for hedging.
