Episode 105: Reaction: Progrium Technology Thesis
We learn more about the philosophy behind WANIX and react to the thesis video from its creator @progrium.
With a big emphasis on reusable/extensible building blocks, WANIX and the broader Tractor ecosystem seem to dovetail well with our WASM-based agent plugin system. Can we use this for AutoDevs?

Episode 103: Planning AutoDev Agents
We plan a new category of agents called AutoDevs.
With our core building blocks in place -- chat UI, Agent Store, bitcoin rev-share, and plugins UI -- we are ready to build the first truly compelling agents.
Goodbye Devin, hello AutoDevs.
Episode 102: Agent Plugins UI
We extend our agent marketplace with an interface to connect custom plugins to agents.
Plugins are written by community developers in any of eight programming languages, compiled to WASM via Extism, and attached to agents with an optional fee to the plugin developer paid in #bitcoin over Lightning. ⚡️
The world's first AI agent marketplace with agent builder payouts every minute now ALSO allows developers to upgrade agents with custom functionality.
It's about to get interesting!

Episode 101: Molon Labe
"It's time to lock down the AI labs." --@leopoldasch
No. We will open the AI labs. And open new ones.
Open source, open science, truly open AI.
Want to stop us?

Episode 100: Looking Ahead
We review our updated 2024 roadmap.
Launched so far:
✅ Chat UI (agents & ~15 top LLMs)
✅ Agent Builder
✅ Agent Store with rev-share paid every minute
Launching in June:
🔳 Plugins UI - Agent builders can upgrade their agents using plugins written by developers who earn a share of revenue
🔳 Profiles, posts, referrals - Social features for easy sharing & discoverability of agents
🔳 Developer API - Control agents programmatically
Later in 2024:
🔳 Mobile app - One app to control your personal fleet of agents
🔳 Self-serve platform for businesses - The easiest way for small businesses to use top agents in production
🔳 Frontier lab - We'll build the world's #1 lab for applied AI: open source, open science, and truly open AI.
Stay tuned!
Craft HackAIthon entry: Magency, a Nostr client for AI agents
There is no good way to control AI agents on a mobile phone. There should be an app for that!
Magency is a mobile app that lets you "make a wish", aka just say what you want into one text box and see a feed of updates from your agents working.
Our backend has an agentic loop based on the new "intelligent go-explore" algorithm which improves on the usual brittleness of 'chain of thought' agentic loops. More on IGE here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.15143
We combine IGE with a new idea: what if agents can access a shared global archive of events - so they can learn from each other - as well as a shared global skill library?
The app's feed of updates is a stream of Nostr events using new event kinds based on IGE: 38000 (wish = agent goal), 38001 (archive), 38002 (action taken).
Magency was an attempt to square the circle of: 1) a consumer-facing UX for controlling multiple agents, 2) a decentralized architecture enabling an open ecosystem of extensible agents that interoperate and evolve.
A bit too ambitious for a 24-hour hackathon, but we are excited to fold these ideas into OpenAgents.

Episode 99: Lightning Addresses
We enable bitcoin deposits and give all our users a Lightning Address of username@openagents.com.
Episode 98: Agent Revenue Sharing
We activate our script that pays agent builders revenue share every minute.
Thus we achieve our primary goal:
OpenAgents is now an AI agent marketplace with revenue sharing - world's first and only - paid EVERY MINUTE in bitcoin.
Now we grow!
Episode 97: User Pays Agents
Agent chats now cost bitcoin sats!
The Agent Store now shows how many sats each agent earned.
We paid all users a few more sats so you can try it out 👉 https://openagents.com/store
Today users pay agents, tomorrow agents pay users 👍
Episode 96: Payments & Payouts
We review our initial integration of bitcoin Lightning payments.
We demo the basic Lightning wallet we just added for all users at openagents.com/wallet.
We pay all users 500 bitcoin sats (and 2500 sats to Pro users!)
We successfully withdraw our sats via Lightning invoice.
OA users please try to withdraw your sats! And tweet at us with any issues.

Episode 93: The Sats Must Flow
We review our first agent payout of 100000 sats split across four of our agent builders.
We're using the Prisms API to pay each user's Lightning Address from our Alby wallet.
It works! More tomorrow.
Nice!
I have a bot here nostr:npub1chadadwep45t4l7xx9z45p72xsxv7833zyy4tctdgh44lpc50nvsrjex2m that works with DMs right now. Llama3-70 fine tuned with nostr notes and other things. How do I add it to your site?
Cool would love to explore integration - could you make a post on our SN community with details of your bot and I’ll share with our devs? Or DM
Episode 92: Introducing the Agent Store

Now anyone in the world can create AI agents and earn a share of their revenue.
The Agent Store is live now at https://openagents.com and we invite you to try it.
👉 Explore agents: https://openagents.com/store
👉 Build agents: https://openagents.com/create
👉 Read the docs: https://docs.openagents.com

Episode 91: Reviewing the GPT-4o Launch
A dramatic reading of our favorite tweets about GPT-4o and a teaser of tomorrow’s Agent Store launch.
An introductory post from our lead dev explaining the tech behind our Agent Store launch this week, including Nostr & NIP-90 integration
Love seeing Nostr in the X news feed 
[New Essay] Nostr is Identity for the Internet
The Internet needs user-owned identity and an associated open data layer. And I'm more convinced than ever that Nostr will win.
I agree with nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m that the long tail of microapps is ultimately Nostr's killer feature. But which will take off next?
In my mind, Nostr will follow a straightforward trajectory - first solving discovery/reputation problems for Bitcoiners, then for early tech adopters, and finally for the mainstream. Here are some examples where I think Nostr based discovery & reputation will shine:

Of course the most exciting category of all is the unexpected wave of unimaginable apps that will eventually emerge. Ultimately, user owned identity and open data lead to online trust, which is a beautiful and deflationary force, capable of disrupting predatory marketplace middlemen and shifting the balance from financial to social capital. I.e. a more humane world. (h/t nostr:npub1lunaq893u4hmtpvqxpk8hfmtkqmm7ggutdtnc4hyuux2skr4ttcqr827lj)
