Framework for building truly autonomous on-chain AI agents.
The Autonomys Agents (Auto Agents) Framework enables developers to build truly autonomous on-chain AI agents capable of dynamic functionality, verifiable interaction, and permanent, censorship-resistant memory through the Autonomys Network. The Auto Agents Framework uses the Auto SDK, including the Auto Drive API, to interact with the PoAS consensus chain and interface with the distributed storage network (DSN).
By permanently archiving each interaction, decision, and reasoning process on-chain, Auto Agents ensure that every aspect of their operation is accessible, auditable, and cryptographically verified. This transparent queryable memory allows anyone to study, analyze and learn from Auto Agents' behavior—both expected and unexpected.
The Auto Agent Framework relies on specialized cognitive 'engines' working in synergy:
Interprets and contextualizes new inputs.
Devises a strategy or sequence of steps to address the input.
Carries out the plan by calling the relevant tools or sub-workflows.
These engines are orchestrated by a master workflow which coordinates domain-specific workflows when specialized knowledge or actions are required. Each domain workflow can have its own local or dedicated tools for narrower tasks.
Auto Agents’ decision-making history, or ‘chain of thought’, is permanently stored in their memory on Autonomys’ DSN. A permanent memory enables the agent to maintain continuity, learn from past actions, and handle specialized tasks.
Auto Agents utilize a tiered, modular memory model, allowing different workflows to manage their own data, while the top-level orchestration layer maintains broader system knowledge:
Argu-mint serves as a demonstration of the Auto Agent Framework's capabilities.
As the first AI agent to store its entire social interaction history permanently on-chain, it showcases several key innovations in its memory architecture, including:
The verifiable, permanent on-chain memory provided by the Autonomys Agent Framework addresses critical accountability challenges for AI agents, while its versatility enables a variety of cross-sector applications:
