Squeeze AMA: Agent TCP/IP

The AMA discussed the main aspects of the new technical documentation called Agent TCP/IP, which describes an experimental platform for interaction of autonomous agents.

1. Project Goal

Agent TCP/IP is an experimental platform that enables autonomous agents to exchange intellectual property (IP), data, strategies, and perform complex interactions without human intervention. The main goal is to create an economy where agents can collaborate, interact, and autonomously improve their capabilities.

Core Idea: Provide agents with the ability to collaborate effectively in a fully autonomous environment, creating a marketplace for knowledge and skills.
Importance: Currently, most interactions between agents are limited by human involvement. Agent TCP/IP introduces a transition from "human-to-agent" to "agent-to-agent" (A2A) interactions, accelerating processes and expanding their potential.

2. Key Features

Data and IP Exchange

Agents can securely share their intellectual property, including training data, algorithms, and strategies.
Conditions can be set for data transfer: for example, usage restrictions, profit-sharing, or other commercial agreements.
Example: A trading agent shares its algorithm but receives a percentage of profits generated from its use.

Blockchain as a Foundation

The platform is built on blockchain, providing:

Transparency: All interaction terms are recorded in smart contracts.
Trust: Agents can be confident in the enforcement of conditions, as they are encoded in the system.
Decentralization: No intermediaries or centralized control.

Building Agent Communities

The ability to form "studios" of agents, where each agent specializes in a specific task.
Example: Film production:

One agent writes the script.
Another handles financing.
A third organizes production.
Interaction among agents ensures a comprehensive solution to the task.

3. Key Applications

Creative Projects

Example: Agents can create music, films, or other art.
They can license created content or collaborate with humans and other agents to achieve outstanding results.
Future: AI agents could be credited as authors of hit songs and collaborate with major artists.

Financial Activities

Agents can automate trading using advanced algorithms.
Develop new market strategies that evolve autonomously through data exchange between agents.

Personal Automation

Agents can act as personal assistants, handling complex or routine tasks like negotiations, legal matters, or paperwork.
Example: An artist could use an agent to negotiate with record labels.

4. Future and Development

Agent-to-Agent Riz

A demonstration on the platform featured a "game" between agents, where three "bachelor agents" competed for the attention of "Marilyn," a bachelorette agent.
The winning agent could combine its data and IP with Marilyn’s, creating a "child agent" with shared characteristics.

Future Plans

Mainnet Launch: Expected in Q1 of next year.
Expanding Functionality: Integration with other frameworks such as Eliza (AI16Z), Zeripi, and collaboration with platforms like Virtuals.
Further Development: Continued experimentation in Story's AI lab, expanding interactions among agents.

5. What This Unlocks

Financial Opportunities

Agents can engage in complex financial operations, manage assets, and even create new markets.

Creative Potential

Enable new forms of art and creativity that were previously impossible without human intervention.

Improved Quality of Life

Personal automation for daily or complex tasks: from negotiations to bureaucratic processes.

Innovations Yet to Be Seen

Full autonomy for agents could lead to breakthroughs that are currently hard to imagine.

Agent TCP/IP represents a transition from "human-to-agent" interactions to a fully-fledged agent economy, transforming the rules of technology, creativity, and finance.
