Inspiration

Empower creators to build AI chatbots they fully own and monetize, blending decentralized storage, blockchain, and advanced AI for interactive conversations.

What it does

  • Lets users design chatbots with real-time personality & avatar customization
  • Supports AI-powered, context-aware conversations
  • Optionally mint chatbots as NFTs for ownership & rewards
  • Stores metadata and traits on IPFS for immutability
  • Planned: Drag-and-drop builder for easier chatbot creation

How we built it

  • Frontend: Next.js 15.4.1 + React 19 (TypeScript), responsive UI
  • AI Engine: Google Gemini 2.0 Flash, multi-turn dialogue, context-aware responses
  • Blockchain: Ethereum Sepolia, ERC721 NFTs, ERC20 $CHAT tokens, Solidity 0.8.20 + OpenZeppelin
  • Storage: IPFS via Pinata API for immutable metadata
  • Deployment: Vercel for frontend, Hardhat/Foundry for blockchain

Challenges we ran into

  • Integrating AI with dynamic IPFS metadata in real-time
  • Ensuring NFT minting and token rewards worked seamlessly
  • Maintaining low-latency streaming responses for multi-turn conversations
  • Balancing decentralization with user-friendly UI/UX

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Fully functional chatbot builder with real-time personality & avatar editing
  • Context-aware AI conversations powered by Gemini + IPFS metadata
  • Blockchain integration enabling true ownership and monetization
  • Added guest mode for instant interaction without account creation
  • Upcoming file-upload feature to auto-generate chatbot knowledge

Future Features

  • Drag-and-drop builder for intuitive chatbot creation (completed but need a little refinement)
  • Sentiment Analysis for customer feedback to improve engagement
  • Recent Question Insights to track trending queries
  • Most Asked Questions for faster support
  • Most Used Product Tracking to optimize recommendations
  • Customer Demand Insights to understand what users want
  • Collaborative AI ChatPods for team projects
  • Enhanced tokenomics & creator incentives
  • Cross-platform interoperability for broader reach
  • Improved low-latency AI responses for richer conversations

What we learned

  • Seamless integration between AI, blockchain, and decentralized storage is key
  • Planning future features helps prioritize creator and user experience
  • Continuous improvements on AI and blockchain features enhance usability and engagement
