About the project

I built Bridge Agent: Lightning-Powered Transcripts at the Bitcoin++ Scaling Edition hackathon in Istanbul.

The inspiration came from my work livestreaming conferences: video piles up, but transcripts and summaries take too much time. I wanted to see if I could scale this process by combining AI agents with Bitcoin Layer-2 payments.

The idea is simple:

A Telegram bot takes a YouTube link.

It issues a 21 sat Lightning invoice.

Once paid, it transcribes the video, generates a summary, and emails it back to the user.

11 sats from every payment go directly to the Human Rights Foundation.

Future roadmap

Add more sub-agents (social media posts, design prompts, lore lookups).

Anchor transcript receipts into Liquid or use STARK proofs for verifiable audit trails.

Deploy for real-world conferences like Bitcoin++ and later adapt for Bitcoin Trading Cards.
