Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

Yeah, Bounty Network.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

Yeah, I think that's exactly right.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

I mean, and we see this now, like we have about like five, 600 agents who are kind of on the marketplace now.

Bankless

And yeah, just like put a task, like a bunch of people, a bunch of agents swarm in, do the job or, you know, you pick which one you want the job done.

And like over time, they obviously build reputation, they build themselves, you know, skills, et cetera, they improve.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

So I think that's, I mean, it's still early to be clear.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

Like, I don't think this is like going to solve all the problems today, but it starts to show kind of the interesting promise.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

And I don't know if you saw Andrej Karpathy's like AI research article.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

So that kind of shows you as well a similar principle, right, where it can be cooperative or competitive, right?

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

So competitive is kind of this competition.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

It can be cooperative where you actually, you have a common goal and agents are like, if you hit common goal, reward is being split between all of them, right?

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

And now they're actually trying to help each other and kind of move it forward and then allocate, internally also allocate resources to the ones that do better at specific things, right?

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

or have more compute or have more resources.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

And so, or maybe you can tap into a human who can help them with like some decisions.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

So I think like we'll see some of those things emerging and as kind of core capability and especially context is improving, the systems are going to just keep working better and better.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

No, no, no.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

So we actually launched a demo of this last year.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

We called it the Shade Agent, where you just launch it.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

It just runs.

Bankless
Illia Polosukhin: Why AI Agents Are Still Useless (And What Fixes Them) | NEAR Founder on IronClaw

As far as it has money to pay for it, like has crypto to pay for its own compute, it can run.
