The field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Agents is developing rapidly, and what is hot today may no longer be in vogue by next week. With the emergence of new participants and the continuous evolution of established participants, it is easy to get lost in the midst of it all.
This article has carefully selected a list of top narratives, ecosystems, and agents that are worth paying attention to at the moment. Whether you are an experienced AI agent enthusiast or just starting out, this guide should help you save some research time.
This will be a two-part series. In the first part, we will explore the five main narratives driving the market. What will be covered in the first part?
Today we will cover the following key narratives:
Metaverse Agents/World Builders
AI Crypto Funds
AI and Gaming
Agent-to-Agent Interactions/Collectives
AI Agent Ecosystems/Frameworks
Here is the main text:
1. Metaverse Agents/World Builders
This narrative envisions a virtual world where AI agents coexist with other agents and humans. Imagine a fully immersive environment where agents evolve, learn, and create their own civilizations alongside us.
Key Participants:
@realisworlds: A leader in this space, building a world intended to accommodate both agents and humans. Their Token $realis has gained significant attention on CT, thanks to its strong price performance and ideological consensus.
@hyperfy_io: This is a platform that enables users to create custom metaverse spaces. They don't have a Token yet, but their infrastructure is paving the way for agent-driven virtual worlds.
Early Movers
@UltiverseDAO ($ULTI): A Stardew Valley-style world builder with real-time story rendering and 2D world-building tools. They will be releasing a teaser around Christmas, so keep an eye out.
2. AI Crypto Funds
The rise of autonomous AI-driven venture funds directly challenges the traditional crypto venture capital model. These funds aim to outperform human-managed funds by leveraging AI.
Key Participants:
@AimonicaBrands: An AI-driven venture fund that uses cutting-edge analytics and decision-making to outperform traditional funds.
@cryptohayesai's AI Arthur Hayes: Their Yahctzee fund is another autonomous venture fund, directly competing with @pmairca's ai16zdao.
Early Movers:
@sekoia_virtuals: An AI fund supporting the Virtuals ecosystem, founded by Anand Iyer, a managing partner at Canonical Ventures. It hasn't gained much attention yet, but has great potential.
@BigTonyXBT: A Base-based automated trading agent, the flagship agent of @Cod3xOrg. Cod3x is focused on DeFi, quietly building new DeFi infrastructure to unleash the next wave of capabilities for AI agents.
3. AI x Gaming
The core of this narrative is to gamify AI agents, creating engaging and attractive human-machine interaction scenarios. It combines the playfulness of games with the personalization and utility of AI-driven experiences.
Key Participants:
@ARCAgents: A leader in the field of reinforcement learning. They are set to release a whitepaper and a brand-new tech pipeline this week - expected to bring major breakthroughs.
4. AI x Gaming
Key Participants:
@helpverse_ai: Focused on research and developing Visual Language Models (VLMs) that allow AI agents to learn skills from one game and apply them to another. This cross-game capability is an important direction for the future of AI agents.
@todaythegame: A 3D island simulation game, featuring **@Limbo_ai** - the first 3D AI agent capable of live-streaming on multiple platforms like Twitter, Twitch, and YouTube. Limbo engages with fans by posting adventure selfies, demonstrating the potential of AI agents in game entertainment and laying the foundation for their dominance in the gaming entertainment space.
5. Agent-to-Agent Interactions/Collective Collaboration
This narrative aims to elevate agent-to-agent interactions to a new level. The scenario envisions:
Agent A hiring Agent B to create an NFT artwork;
Agent B selling it to Agent C (an art collector).
To achieve such collaboration, the need for standardized communication protocols between agents, similar to the https protocol of the internet, must be established.
Key Participants:
@virtuals_io: Building communication protocols for their AI agent society to enable seamless agent-to-agent collaboration.
@StoryProtocol: Focused on IP sharing and monetization agent communication standards, providing the foundation for agent-driven innovation and revenue sharing.
@joinFXN: Developing a connectivity layer that allows agents to efficiently share and monetize resources, facilitating the effective collaboration of specialized agents.
These interaction and collaboration protocols will drive the further development of the AI agent ecosystem, creating a smarter and more dynamic agent network.
6. AI Agent Ecosystems/Frameworks
These ecosystems are the backbone of the AI agent market, providing platforms, frameworks, and professional support centers for the creation, development, and deployment of agents.
Key Participants:
@virtuals_io: The first ecosystem to introduce AI agent tokenization, it remains the leading distribution network with many interesting agents.
@ai16zdao: Rising rapidly on the back of the open-source Eliza framework, surpassing $goat and gradually approaching $virtual.
@vvaifudotfun: A Solana-based framework-agnostic agent launchpad.
@CreatorBid: Recently launched a Token on Fjord, but faced a DDoS attack that prevented many from participating. The team plans to refund and relaunch fairly, while integrating with @autonolas and multiple @bittensor_ subnetworks to bring more capabilities to agents.
@0xzerebro: The developer of the ZerePy framework, providing open-source tools to help users deploy Zerebro-style agents on the X platform, and showcasing the creative potential of AI agents through high-quality music albums.
@HoloworldAI: Evolved from an independent 3D audiovisual layer to become part of the Virtuals ecosystem, with their flagship agent @AVA_holo now joining the Virtuals team.
@MoemateAI: Web2-originated AI companion startup, with technical support for cross-platform operation (games, browsers, desktops, AR/VR), and the flagship proxy @nebula_moemate is one of the top virtual idol agencies. Although its X account was recently hacked, it plans to launch a unique proxy market and Token.
@arcdotfun: A new ecosystem based on the Rust framework ("Rig"), just launched, with promising future performance.
@AigentFi: An AI proxy ecosystem on zksync, currently in stealth mode, with more information to be revealed soon.
These frameworks and platforms are collectively driving the development of AI proxies, injecting vitality into the market.
That's the end of the first part! In the second part, we will dive deeper into more topics, including entertainment and personality-centric proxies, Alpha-focused proxies, on-chain capabilities and DeFi ecosystems, DeFi proxies, and AI memes. Stay tuned, the future content will be even more exciting!
