EchoSync

ECHOSYNC is an AI-based DAO tool for the collaborative creation of internal and external documentation, such as meeting notes, proposal drafts, blog posts, and Twitter threads.

Problem: DAOs have the challenge of keeping their members engaged and soliciting contributions from them.

Solution: ECHOSYNC simplifies and streamlines the process of contributing to a DAO. It allows members to contribute asynchronously and verbally. It uses AI to organize inputs and generate outputs in the desired formats.

USE CASE #1 (MVP): TOWNHALL

PROBLEM: DAOs need Townhall (other meetings) notes to be available to all DAO members so that they can stay up to date. They also need to generate and distribute public documents to inform the broader community - newsletters, Twitter threads, etc.

SCENARIO: A DAO steward logs into the app and uploads the audio recording of the meeting. The app transcribes the audio. The app stores the full audio and transcript for future reference in decentralized storage. The app breaks down the text into segments and creates bullet-point summaries of each topic discussed. The app also generates blog posts, newsletters, and Twitter threads. USE CASE #2: CONTENT REQUEST

PROBLEM: DAOs need members to create content to help grow the authority and recognition of the DAOs.

SCENARIO: A DAO steward logs into the app and creates a questionnaire to help DAO members contribute to a content campaign. A DAO steward sets the preferences for the campaign - duration, platforms, and regularity of posts. The questionnaire is token gated for DAO members only. (Possible HATS protocol integration.) DAO members log in and submit prerecorded audio responding to questions. The app transcribes the audio. The app stores the full audio and transcript for future reference. The app applies tags to each answer to ID contributor. The app applies tags (keywords) based on content. The app generates outputs based on preferences.

Advanced functionality: Integrate on-chain data into posts (like Denoted) Collecting on-chain analytics for posts - creating a panel Allowing DAO members to post DAO-produced content and reward them for doing that (use oracle like UMA to get off-chain info / Graph for on-chain.) Creating a calendar A mobile app that captures audio directly (no need to record the audio elsewhere and upload it) Integrating SEO recommendations for the contributors based on the questionnaire (and other information communicated by the DAO) Rewarding contributors

USE CASE #3: COLLABORATIVE PROPOSAL

PROBLEM: Drafting proposals is tedious, DAOs need a way to help members get through the task of creating a good proposal.

SCENARIO: A DAO member (“creator”) logs into the app and creates a questionnaire to help other DAO members collaboratively draft a proposal. The creator chooses one of the formats of the proposal output. The questionnaire is token gated for DAO members only (certain DAO role). DAO members log in and submit prerecorded audio responding to each question. The app transcribes the audio. The app stores the full audio and transcript for future reference. The app generates a draft of the proposal based on the contributions. It includes all of the suggestions while marking the sources of these suggestions. The creator edits the proposal and downloads it for future use.

USE CASE #4: (GHOST) WRITING

PROBLEM: AI outputs may not be perfect. If the user is not satisfied with the quality of the output and wants to get a writer to polish the document, they need a way to create a bounty for a writer.

SCENARIO: (comes after one of the above scenarios is realized) DAO steward puts up a bounty to polish an output (the bounty can be token gated for DAO members only). DAO steward locks tokens to pay for the completed bounty. DAO steward generates a key (NFT) that gives access to content related to the output - the original audio and transcript (viewing only), and the outputs (editing). The writer takes the bounty (and accepts the terms - NDA, etc.) A writer gets access to the gated content and edits the outputs. The writer marks the bounty completed. The author reviews the work and marks it accepted, this releases the payment to the writer.

The main idea was to streamline the process and make the UI as simple as possible. We wanted to integrate the power of text generating AI and the security and composability of decentralized storage.

We used the following tools: Intmax: User authentication. Polybase: Storage. OpenAI API: Speech-to-text transcripts and generation of content.
