Sebu

Sebu is a protocol for democratizing access to capital through the use of AI-controlled smart contract wallets. Founders and token holders pay for the right to pitch the AI agent. The agent then gives each pitch a ranking based on how convincing it is against a fixed and private set of criteria. Results of each pitch session are added to a leaderboard, where at the end of the investment round (e.g. 1 day), the smart contract buys the token with the highest rating on the leaderboard. The smart contract is funded by the auction as well as by investors purchasing shares in the resulting portfolio of the continuing rounds. Portfolio tokens can be resold or burned for withdrawal of the underlying assets.

We use a custom built AI, mainly using AWS lambdas to chat with an AI of your choice (local or otherwise), as well as hardhat for the smart contracts. We originally tried using ElizaOS, but had to basically roll our own AI kit since the tech is still so hard to customize for a new use case. The hard part here for us was just getting the context for the AI right so it can follow along in the pitch. To do this, and to make the pitching more streamlined and entertaining, we actually created an assistant for our AI to do pre-screening, just so we can get the relevant data and prevent spam. For purchasing the tokens, we also used an auction mechanism for pricing the tokens, similar to v1 dydx contracts, to avoid oracle and liquidity risks.
