Three core categories

  • ​Alpha Information Agent​
  • ​Safe Agents​
  • ​Agent Dashboard​

8.1 Alpha Information Agent

This is the first application scenario after Personality Agents/Idols. This type of agent can share alpha information, conduct technical analysis (TA), and conduct in-depth discussions on projects on the X platform.

  • AIXBT——Terminal KOL intelligent entity, which can not only release high-value market signals (alpha), but also interact in the tone of a deep player and become a top-level influential KOL.
  • Moby AI is an intelligent entity that focuses on monitoring the movements of whales. It tracks the changes in the positions of major investors on the chain in real time to help you adjust your positions in a timely manner.
  • Rei — An intelligent agent that provides comprehensive analysis of projects, covering multiple dimensions such as token economics, team background, and on-chain data.

8.2 Security Agents

This type of intelligent agent helps you complete technical due diligence efficiently and avoid the risk of blindly following fake/fraudulent projects.

  • SOLENG - In-depth analysis of the project's GitHub code base, breaking down the technical architecture's advantages and potential vulnerabilities to help you make rational decisions.
  • BevorAI——Smart contract auditing agent that automatically detects code vulnerabilities and contract logic risks.

  • JailbreakMe - security attack and defense testing agent, simulates attacks to verify the protocol's defense capabilities

8.3 Agent Dashboard

My favorite category, it integrates precise public opinion analysis and on-chain data tracking, and can be called the ultimate decision-making panel for the intelligent entity track.

  • Cookie DAO——A top dashboard focusing on social public opinion analysis of AI agents. Agent Cookie shares data insights in real time through the X platform.
  • GoatIndex.ai——AI agent focusing on the Solana ecosystem, and providing a dedicated data dashboard for the Solana AI hackathon to track project progress and developer dynamics in real time.
