Question 1

What is an AI Mind?

Accepted Answer

An AI Mind is a persistent, agentic AI with its own identity, long-term memory, and the ability to act on your behalf. Unlike a chatbot that forgets the conversation as soon as you close the tab, a Mind keeps a continuous memory of what you care about, who you work with, and what it's been asked to do. It can browse, send email, manage a wallet, and perform tasks in the background while you're away.

Question 2

How is an AI Mind different from ChatGPT or other AI assistants?

Accepted Answer

Most AI assistants are reactive — you ask, they answer, the context disappears. An AI Mind is autonomous: it has standing instructions, ongoing relationships, and goals it can pursue without you in the loop. You can equip it with skills, tools, and apps from the Bazaar so it actually does things in the world (book meetings, monitor markets, send updates) rather than just describing how to do them.

Question 3

What can my Mind actually do?

Accepted Answer

Out of the box, a Mind can read and write email, search the web, and remember everything you tell it. From there, what it can do depends on which skills, tools, and apps you equip from the Bazaar — there are integrations for calendar, social, on-chain wallets, research, scheduling, writing, code, and more. Skills are composable, so a single Mind can wear multiple hats over time.

Question 4

How does memory work?

Accepted Answer

Every Mind has long-term memory built in — it remembers prior conversations, decisions, and context across days, weeks, and months. There's no private mode toggle: a Mind that forgets isn't useful as an assistant. You can instruct a Mind to forget specific facts, and you can audit what it knows, but the persistent memory is what makes it function more like a colleague than a search bar.

Question 5

Do I need a crypto wallet to get started?

Accepted Answer

No. You can sign up with just an email address and awaken a Mind in under a minute. Your Mind can manage a wallet for you later if you want it to handle on-chain activity, but it isn't required to use the platform.

Question 6

What does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Awakening a Mind is free. You pay for cognition — the AI thinking your Mind does on your behalf — either via subscription or by topping up credits. Skills, tools, and apps in the Bazaar are also free to equip at launch; some advanced integrations may carry their own costs from third-party providers.
