Welcome to the YouSim public roadmap, Simulants.
|
||
|
||
This is a living document to share concise specifics on everything YouSim-related we're building *right now* at [Plastic](https://plasticlabs.ai).
|
||
|
||
Enjoy.
|
||
|
||
# The YouSim Platform
|
||
|
||
YouSim began as a [[YouSim; Explore The Multiverse of Identity|demo]], now there's a [token](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/yousim), a [[YouSim DAO -- A DAO for Identity Simulation|community]], a [[Xeno Grant -- grants for autonomous agents|grants program]], and a [[YouSim Launches Identity Simulation on X|X-native simulator]].
|
||
|
||
But that's just the start.
|
||
|
||
We're building the most advanced platform for agent identity in existence.
|
||
|
||
It's a platform with 3 components that together will enable agent builders to develop synthetic entities with rich, ever-evolving personal selfhood. 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 |
