Combining generative and agentic AI with blockchain's secure, trustless framework, ALIagents.ai revolutionizes interaction with AI personalities, LLMs, cloned voices, and generated content. It ensures these advanced technologies are accessible to all, driving innovation and allowing for collaborative creativity to be rewarded.

What are Artificial Liquid Intelligence Agents (ALI Agents)?

ALI Agents are advanced generative and agentic AI assets on ALIagents.ai, offering a decentralized alternative to traditional AI models. They allow for high customization and are managed by the community, ensuring their evolution aligns with collective input and ethical standards. ALI Agentss are a decentralized alternative to Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPTs). ALI Agents represent a fundamental shift from centralized AI systems, empowering individual and community-driven ownership, shared rewards, and crowdsourcing of IP creation and content.

ALI Agents have an ERC-721 Token (NFT), which enables ownership, property rights, access gating, etc. - and an Identity that is represented on the NFT’s metadata.

ALI Agents can have embedded liquidity in the form of:

• either a bonding curve smart contract integrated

• OR a native ERC-20 token and a liquidity pool

On-chain representation of an ALI Agent = NFT + Embedded Liquidity + Hive Smart Contract

ALI Agents are created by, and draw their AI resources and services from "Hives," using crowdsourced storage and GPU compute resources that Hives curate and distribute to the ALI Agents created by them.

What are Credits and where are they used?

Credits enable creators and users to build and interact with ALI Agents. You need Credits to perform various actions like creating an ALI Agent and launching its bonding curve. Essentially, Credits facilitate the modular creation and utility within the ALIagents.ai ecosystem, making them integral to the platform's operation​​.

Can I buy more Credits?

Yes, additional Credits can be purchased anytime using the Artificial Liquid Intelligence (ALI) Utility Token or Base ETH. An incentive for using ALI is a 25% discount on the Credits, making it a more cost-effective option for users looking to maximize their engagement on the platform​​.

What is Energy?

Energy is another vital resource on ALIagents.ai, used primarily for creating Dreams and interacting with ALI Agents and their Dreams. Unlike Credits, Energy replenishes cyclically, with your Energy bar refilling to 100% daily and regenerating at a rate of 15% every hour. This ensures users have a steady supply of Energy for continuous engagement with the platform's features​​.

Can I get more Energy?

You can convert Credits to fully replenish your Energy bar at any time. Regardless of your current Energy level, refilling the Energy bar costs 50 Credits, whether you are at 0% or 50% Energy. This system allows you to continue uninterrupted participation in the dApp's interactive experiences​​.

Can I reconvert Energy into Credits or Credits into ETH or ALI?

No, once Credits are purchased they are not convertible, and can either be used on the dApp for its use in creating ALI Agents or for transferring them into Energy. Energy is also non-convertible back into Credits. Energy must be used to create Dreams and to interact with ALI Agents and Dreams.

Are Credits and Energy transferable to other accounts or dApps?

No, as of now, Credits and Energy can only be used by the account and wallet associated with that Credit or Energy. Neither is transferable to any other account or wallet, and neither can be transferred to any other website or dApp.

Creating and Customizing ALI Agents

How can I customize my ALI Agent on ALIagents.ai?

After creating an ALI Agent, Creators have extensive flexibility to further customize their ALI agent at any time. This includes editing aspects such as the Agent's name, bio, personality, and voice, allowing for the continuous refinement and evolution of the Agent's identity and persona. Customization can be done either from the "My Agents" page or directly from the Agent's profile page. Creators can access the customization options by choosing the "Edit" button for any Agent they own.

What specific aspects of my ALI Agent can I customize?

Creators can refine the description and backstory of the Agent, and edit granular details such as the conversational style, goals/aspirations, the Agent's drives, likes, and dislikes, and more. Another feature is that the background of an Agent’s interaction page can be generated or an image can be uploaded for a custom aesthetic. This all helps define the conversational parameters and the overall interaction style of the Agent, making each Agent truly unique and tailored to the creator's vision.

How does the personality of my ALI Agent affect its interactions?

The personality of an ALI Agent significantly influences how it interacts with users. By customizing the personality traits, creators can shape the nature of interactions, ensuring that the Agent aligns with the intended user experience and engagement style.

Can I customize the visual appearance of my ALI Agent?

Yes, every ALI Agent has a base scenario and introduction visible to all users who interact with it. These, along with the Agent's visual setting, can be customized. Creators have the option to upload or generate a background image for their Agent's interaction environment, offering additional layers of customization to enhance the visual appeal and thematic setting of the ALI Agent for a small number of credits.

Can I change the name of my ALI Agent once it’s created?

No, once an ALI Agent is launched with its own embedded liquidity, it becomes tokenized on the Base Layer-2 blockchain Network as an ERC-721 NFT, and its name becomes embedded into the NFT’s metadata.
