Our ONE MARKET for AI agents & services (detailed in Ep. 141) should definitely include what fuels the agents: data!
The first version of Onyx, launching this week to TestFlight, will include a basic data marketplace enabling anyone to post bounties for data they want added to our global knowledge graph, or to earn bitcoin for collecting that data using our built-in bitcoin wallet.
We'll demo that in tomorrow's video.
For tonight, we're paying so much for ChatGPT Pro that we need to get our money's worth, so we're gonna delegate the rest of this summary to o1 pro:
"This transcript outlines the speaker’s vision for a data-driven marketplace platform, tentatively called the OpenAgents marketplace. The core idea is to enable users and automated agents to contribute and curate valuable information—initially focused on topics like drone data or UAP (unidentified aerial phenomenon) sightings—and to reward high-quality contributions with Bitcoin. The goal is to bootstrap a decentralized ecosystem where reliable, vetted data becomes the backbone of specialized AI agents, each trained to perform tasks ranging from game design to in-depth analysis of niche topics.
The concept involves several key components. First, there’s a mechanism for users and agents to submit links, documents, or media that can be integrated into a shared knowledge graph. Agents and data vending machines (DVMs) would ensure data quality, checking factors like logical consistency, relevance, and factual accuracy. Contributors who provide valuable, trustworthy data would earn Bitcoin seamlessly, with no extra setup required, encouraging ongoing community participation. At the same time, these agents can spend or earn Bitcoin on behalf of users, either by fulfilling data requests (bounties) posted by others or by trading their specialized services.
Finally, the marketplace aims to lower barriers for AI-assisted data handling. By integrating the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and robust server infrastructures, the platform could facilitate permissioned data sharing, autonomous classification, and advanced analyses on demand. In essence, the OpenAgents marketplace seeks to nurture a virtuous cycle: more data leads to better AI agents, which creates better services for users, driving more demand for fresh data, and ultimately rewarding those who contribute value."
