In today’s digital age, AI has become an integral part of our lives. From virtual assistants that remind us to buy milk to sophisticated tools that analyze vast amounts of data, AI is everywhere. But what if AI could be more personal? What if you could create an AI agent that not only understands your interests and personality but also belongs to you?
Built on Slinky Web3AI’s infrastructure, xHashtag AI puts the power back in your hands. Unlike traditional AI applications controlled by large corporations, you can create, customize, and own your very own AI characters on a decentralized network. Additionally, you can share your creations with the world by tokenizing them.
Our testnet is now live, and this article will walk you through everything you need to get started.
