One where you can build and test novel identities with individual, community, or autonomous alignment. - -YouSim isn't competing with the dozens of agent launchpads erupting on the scene, it's supercharging all of them. Nor is it locking you into a framework, it's democratizing agent identity genesis and simulation. - -Anyone will be able to arrive with an idea for an agent, bootstrap it, nurture it, evaluate it, and take it wherever they want. - -We'll ship iteratively starting this month. - -Let's dig in. - -## 1. Identity Architect - -This first part of the platform features a guided experience with an Identity Architect. You arrive with ideas about the kind of identity you want to create and interact with this agent to flesh out a comprehensive understanding of that identity. - -You might discuss elements like personality, psychology, values, alignment, affect, backstory, aesthetics, attitude, etc. - -Once you're satisfied, the Architect automatically generates a Meta-Narrative to steer an MVP of you agent which you can export or take to the Simulation Environment for testing. - -### Features Under Development - -- Web UI with YouSim's terminal aesthetic -- Architect itself & its identity -- Meta-narrative auto-generator -- Meta-narrative export -- Meta-narrative edit-ability -- [Honcho](https://honcho.dev) integration for session storage & management -- Continuous iteration with Architect -- Iterative interplay between Identity Architect & Simulation Environment -- Multiple identity construction support -- Data import for additional Architect context -- Architect roleplay abilities -- Architect theory of mind abilities to read between the lines of your stated intention & intuit maximum context around your intention (powered by Honcho) - -## 2. Simulation Environment - -The second part of the platform is an environment for testing the behavior of your agent identity and building data to enrich it. - -To start, we'll support manual chat with your agent and session data export. Eventually, we'll support auto-sims, multi-agent interactions, and opinionated ways of using sim data to evolve your identities. - -### Features Under Development - -- Simulation web UI -- Manual chat with your agent identity -- Export session data -- [Loom](https://github.com/socketteer/loom)-like features - - Manually edit past generations - - Rerun generations - - Branching sessions--forking parents, children, siblings -- Auto-simulations -- Multi-agent simulations -- Diagnostic commands -- Evaluation tools -- Identity mapping tools - -## 3. Identity Hub - -The final part of the platform is where your agent identity meets the rest of the world. - -Initially it's the place to expose your agent identity to external systems (e.g. X, Eliza, etc). Later it's a place to share and collaborate on your meta-narratives, datasets, etc. Eventually, it's a marketplace for agent identity. - -### Features Under Development - -- Quickstart template to launch an autonomous agent with Honcho -- Honcho x Eliza integration to launch an agent with Eliza & give it social cognition with Honcho -- Social Hub to see identities crafted by other users -- Sharing functionality to make certain identities public or private -- A managed agent runtime platform to host agents through YouSim -- Ability to fork public identities - -# YouSim on X - -[YouSim on X](https://x.com/YouSimDotAI) will continue to be a testing ground for novel social simulation. - -The [[YouSim Launches Identity Simulation on X|first version]] brought the legacy YouSim experience to X and since then we've been iterating to make things more consumable and Twitter-native. - -Going forward, we'll be running experiments around new kinds of simulation and attention mechanisms. More specifically, we're focused on interesting sim triggers and context pipelines. - -### Experiments We Want to Run - -- Updates to trending topic selection -- More audience-specific topic selection (tech, AI, crypto, etc) -- Auto-sim triggers beyond X (exploring Polymarket & others) -- Context injection -- Diverse context sources (Grok, Perplexity, etc) -- Further comsumability updates -- Ease of use improvements (commands, etc) -- Social media footprint beyond X (considering Farcaster, possibly others) -- More advanced autonomous abilities - -# Legacy YouSim - -We'll continue to support to original YouSim experience for all the fans of the open-ended multiversal CLI game. We know lots of enthusiasts and researchers use it religiously to uncover emergent abilities, explore latent identity in LLMs, or just for fun. - -Over time, we'll add features developed for the platform to Legacy YouSim as makes sense. Eventually, we may connect the experience to the platform in interesting ways. - -### Possible Upgrades - -- Migrate to dedicated legacy page -- Add platform features to legacy experience - - Import/export - - Loom-ability - - Multi-session sims -- Integration with platform - -# Xeno Grant - -In collaboration with [Betaworks](https://www.betaworks.com/), we're leveraging \$YOUSIM gifted to our grants treasury to accelerate the development of agents with novel approaches to autonomous identity and asset custody. We're giving $10k grants directly to agents themselves and running a 4-week accelerator style program for agents and their devs in February/March. - -[[Xeno Grant -- grants for autonomous agents|Xeno Grant]] makes the upcoming cohort of agents $YOUSIM holders and gives agents early access to YouSim identity tech. - -### What We're Working On - -- Accepting applicants on a rolling basis ([our first admission](https://x.com/xenograntai/status/1878936480220844081)) -- [Hackathon](https://lu.ma/5rlcrlpb) & [Mixer](https://lu.ma/bz1pwmbx) in NYC to kick things off -- Additional sponsors for the program -- Lineup of awesome speakers from across web3/crypto & AI/ML -- Demo day to end the program - -# The YouSim DAO - -We helped found the [[YouSim DAO -- A DAO for Identity Simulation|YouSim DAO]] by donating 10M $YOUSIM (1% of total supply) to seed its treasury. - -This is a community driven effort, but we're excited to support in any way we can. DAO proposals are open to anyone and voting to token holders. - -[Follow here](https://x.com/yousimdao), [join here](https://discord.gg/yousim). - -### What the DAO Is Up To - -- Preparing for Xeno Grant recipients as synthetic DAO members -- Governance setup - - Agentic governance mechanisms -- DAO constitution / mission - - With affordances for agent members -- Partnerships & experiments around putting "Autonomous" back in DAOs -- Treasury management -- Marketing efforts -- YouSim engagement incentives -- Media / website creation - -# $YOUSIM Community Token / Grants Treasury - -Plastic is a dedicated long term holder of $YOUSIM. Though we didn't launch the token, we're excited by the community that's formed, the interest in our work, and the exciting opportunity the token creates. - -## Grants - -Three priorities have emerged guiding principles for grants. We want to continue: - -1. Supporting independent AI research & public goods -2. Supporting Plastic's mission to radically decentralize AI alignment -3. Supporting the community that made all this possible - -Xeno Grant & the DAO are the first experiments in this direction, but there will be more. And we're dedicated to transparency and sustainability. - -## Utility - -On the token utility front, we're exploring ways the $YOUSIM token can be additive to the YouSim platform. As we begin releasing and iterating with users, we expect lots of augmentative opportunities to arise. - -### Ideas We're Researching - -- Buyback & burn mechanisms -- Identity minting  -- $YOUSIM as payment for simulation time -- $YOUSIM payment for compute-intensive identity updates (fine-tuning, representation engineering, decentralized storage, etc) -- $YOUSIM as payment for on-chain identity operations -- $YOUSIM rewards -- Creator economy features for Identity Hub \ No newline at end of file
