Nico-chan AI Agent (Prototype)

Nico-chan AI Agent (Prototype)

Overview

Integration of Web3 and AI

Nico-chan AI Agent is the result of merging my expertise in blockchain with emerging trends in artificial intelligence. The project leverages several powerful tools and frameworks:

  • Thirdweb: A comprehensive platform for building web3 applications, Thirdweb provides a suite of SDKs, UI components, and other utilities to facilitate seamless interactions between users and Ethereum smart contracts. This allows users to manage their wallets, perform transactions, and interact with decentralized applications (dApps) directly through the browser.
  • LlamaIndex: An AI framework that leverages advanced LLM models like llama3.2 hosted on Ollama. LlamaIndex enables sophisticated natural language processing capabilities such as understanding user queries and generating contextually relevant responses. This integration ensures that users can interact with AI in a way that is both intuitive and powerful.

Custom Blockchain Test Network

Since I already have extensive experience in blockchain technology, I decided to integrate Nico-chan AI Agent with my own custom blockchain test network located at https://testnet-explorer.aldrickb.xyz/. This network is built using L3 Arbitrum Orbit technology, which offers several advantages:

  • Scalability: Leveraging the benefits of layer 3 (L3) architecture, this test network provides high scalability and low transaction costs.
  • Security: Built on top of a trusted base layer like Ethereum, my custom test network inherits its security features while offering additional layers of protection through Arbitrum Orbit technology.

Frontend Development

The frontend of Nico-chan AI Agent is built using Next.js, a powerful React-based framework that offers server-side rendering (SSR) and static site generation (SSG). This ensures fast page load times and optimal performance. The design is styled with Tailwind CSS, a utility-first CSS framework that allows for rapid UI development and consistent styling across all platforms.

Responsive Design

The combination of Next.js and Tailwind CSS ensures a sleek and responsive user interface that adapts seamlessly to various devices and screen sizes. This approach not only enhances the visual appeal but also improves overall usability for users accessing Nico-chan AI Agent from different environments.

Features

  1. Web3 Integration: Users can interact with smart contracts directly through their wallets, thanks to Thirdweb's comprehensive SDKs and UI components.
  2. AI Capabilities: Advanced natural language processing powered by LlamaIndex and the llama3.2 model hosted on Ollama allows for sophisticated AI interactions.
  3. Custom Blockchain Test Network: Integration with my custom blockchain test network built using Arbitrum Orbit technology provides a secure, scalable environment for testing and development.

Current Status

At the time of writing this documentation, Nico-chan AI Agent is still in its prototype phase. The primary goal is to prove the proof of concept by demonstrating key functionalities and usability. Here are some features I am aiming to add:

  • Better UI Design: Enhance the user interface to provide a more intuitive and visually appealing experience.
  • Retrieve Data from ALChain for User Queries: Allow users to retrieve data directly from the blockchain in response to their queries.
  • ALD Token Faucet Directly When Asking Nico-chan AI: Implement an automated ALD token faucet that distributes tokens when users interact with Nico-chan AI.
  • Twitter Integration - Auto Tweet/Auto Reply to Post: Enable automatic tweeting and replying to tweets based on user interactions or predefined triggers.
  • Discord Integration - Auto Message/Reply/Join Voice Channels: Provide functionality for auto-messaging, replying, and joining voice channels in Discord.
  • Additional Features: Explore and implement more advanced features as the project evolves.

How to Use

To send messages through Nico-chan AI Agent, users need to burn 0.1 ALD (Aldrick Blockchain Token) via their wallet. This transaction verifies the user's access to the service and ensures that they can interact with both the AI features and the custom blockchain test network.

Obtaining ALD Tokens

To explore Nico-chan AI Agent and the ALDChain Blockchain Test Network, users will soon be able to obtain ALD tokens from a dedicated faucet. Here’s how you can get started:

  1. Sign Up for Access: Visit the ALD Chain Faucet website once it is launched.
  2. Connect Your Wallet: Connect your Ethereum-based wallet (e.g., MetaMask) to the faucet.
  3. Request Tokens: Submit a request for 0.1 ALD tokens from the faucet. This initial allocation will allow you to test and interact with Nico-chan AI Agent.
  4. Explore the Platform: With your ALD tokens, connect to Nico-chan AI Agent via your wallet and start exploring its features.

Additional Resources

  • ALD Chain Faucet: Once launched, you can find more information about how to use the faucet at https://faucet.aldrickb.xyz.
  • Documentation and Support: Detailed documentation and support resources for Nico-chan AI Agent will be soon available.
