AI DAO Managers

An AI team manager for DAOs that nudges, reminds & tracks task performance. No cold leaderboard, just human-like accountability & engagement tracking. Missed 3 meetings? AI gently checks in. Teams vote on their own rules. Privacy-first & fair

Project Description

The AI DAO Manager lets you use "rules" around productivity and accountability with your team and track it with a webextension. AI agents help generating rules, tracking input/output, provide evaluations, and give coaching and reminders—without micromanagement.

⚠️ Problem: Your team, DAO, or friend group is hyped but struggles to get things done. You need minimum accountability that respects intrinsic motivation and social dynamics.

Things that kill motivation:

  • Hierarchies, office politics
  • Policing peers instead of building
  • Leaderboards (Social Comparison Theory)
  • Performance-based rewards / ineffective gamification (Goodhart's Law)

✅ Solution: AI managers that imitate human-like management—giving private qualitative feedback and only notifying the group when necessary. Never revealing quantitative performance data, only qualitative feedback through an AI.

⚙️ How It Works:

  1. User login with Connect Wallet (Coinbase Smart Wallet)
  2. Create or Join Organization
  3. Create Roles → Roles give access to "Tasks" with related rewards based on performance and effort
  4. Create Tasks & Requirements → The team lists common tasks with performance measures.
  5. Create Requirements → AI suggests requirements based on Task and related tools
  6. Suggest Rules→ AI suggests performance thresholds and rules based on available Tool Tracking Data
  7. Initialize Task & Tracking Agents → In the background AI agents are tracking tool analytics and store it in Nillion Database for privacy.
  8. Track Earnings & Potential Rewards → Uses Coinbase Agentkit to fetch earnings data and future potential rewards.
  9. Possibility for arbitration - Request to see the data against payment.

💡 Example Use Cases:

Example Task #1: Discord Moderation Role: DAO Community Manager Tool: Discord

Requirement: 🎤 Send at least 1 message daily in #general 😍 Thriving: 10+ messages → AI gives a public shout-out 👋 Minding: 6 messages → AI gives a private nudge 🤔 Slacking: 3 messages → AI suggests action plan ⛔️ Mocking: No engagement → Requires check-in with the team

Requirement: 🎤: Resolve reports in under 30 minutes 😍 Thriving: <1 minute → AI highlights efficiency 👋 Minding: 30-60 minutes → AI suggests prioritization tips 🤔 Slacking: 1-3 hours → AI prompts for better workflows ⛔️ Mocking: >3 hours → Requires accountability check

Example Task #2: Build Nillion integration Role: Developer Tool: Github Requirement: 📦 At least 5 commits per weekly sprint on Nillion branch Rules: 😍 Thriving: 10+ commits → AI celebrates contribution 👋 Minding: 4 commits → AI nudges to check workload 🤔 Slacking: 2 commits → AI suggests pairing up ⛔️ Mocking: 0 commits → Requires sync with the team

How it's Made

The AI DAO manager is a React-based web extension (for easy access and tracking URL) and dApp frontend with a Node.js backend, leveraging advanced blockchain technologies to ensure secure and efficient operations.

Backend:

  • AgentKit for Blockchain Interactions: We utilized AgentKit with LangChain to access crypto wallets of the user, subscription to tasks and voting.
  • Agent for Tracking Data and Executing Smart contracts - ad requesting details about tasks associated with smart contracts to guarantee payouts.
  • Nillion's Blind Computation for Data Privacy: To securely store sensitive performance data, we implemented Nillion's Blind Computation technology. This approach ensures that data remains encrypted and is processed without decryption, maintaining privacy even from the users themselves. This design prevents users from manipulating their performance metrics through actions like excessive pull requests. (preventing GoodHart's Law)
  • Future: integration with https://github.com/airweave-ai/airweave for Data Storage: For integrating over 20 productivity tools, we employed Airweave, a decentralized storage solution. This setup supports Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to a Weaviate vector database, extending the AI with the ability to talk about the content of qualitative project information and docs.

Frontend:

  • Serverless requests to Gemini 2 flash experimental to help write Requirements and Rules, creating suggestions that can be kept or deleted.
  • Coinbase Smart Wallet for Authentication: User authentication is managed through the Coinbase Smart Wallet, providing a secure and user-friendly login experience. Innovative Approaches

A notable aspect of our project is the double-blind data storage mechanism using Nillion's technology. By encrypting and distributing data across multiple nodes without decryption during processing, we ensure that sensitive performance metrics remain confidential and tamper-proof. This method not only upholds data integrity but also prevents any potential cheating/gaming or automation of performance metrics by users.
