Inspiration
DAOs are stifled today because of fragmented tech and ops stacks. This becomes especially painful for developers in emerging markets who deal with slower connectivity. We figured that DAOs could be deployed natively through the interface that is universal to all developers, GitHub. Furthermore, because of these same connectivity challenges, leveraging the latest in AI technologies can drastically improve the product development cycle, putting the "A" in DAO.
What it does
A native GitHub integration that allows developers and product managers to spec out full builds with AI-assistance and coordinate crypto payments automatically with each merged pull request at the org, repo, and individual level. In essence, the ability for developers to deploy full-stack DAOs integrated natively into GitHub.
How we built it
We built the backend with GitHub REST API and to setup a basic GitHub app handler on a Node.js serverless function. GitHub app commands are formatted to create prompts for our our AI models to generate the responses. Smart contract automation services from Chainlink are used to automate payout of compensation to contributors. For the front end we use GitHub APIs to query repos and other relevant data and display them with react components.
Challenges we ran into
The most difficult part was actually planning the process flow of the interactions between the AI, payouts, and stakeholder engagement within GitHub orgs.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The fact that we are using this product now in our own builds for our product studio and has drastically improved development cycles.
What we learned
Simplicity is best.
What's next for GitUnion
We plan to continue to build out features for GitUnion as we deploy it across our different product offerings from Khalon Bridge, a product studio. After a few more iterations, we do plan to release and commercialize it in the market.
