iAgent Protocol unveils revolutionary AI-Agent trained on pro Counter-Strike player, Flaxcis
It’s a bittersweet fact that no matter how sophisticated an NPC is designed they’ll inevitably repeat the same behaviour patterns. Play them enough times and you’ll generally know what to expect from them and, as with anything that’s repeated too often, it gets boring very quickly.
But imagine if you could face an NPC trained by a player as skilled as you. One that’s learned every trick and exploit you know. It would certainly breathe a new lease of life into those beloved games you’ve long since mastered, and that’s exactly the intention behind iAgent Protocol - a digital asset creation service that leverages AI and blockchain technology to allow players to train their own personal NPCs (iAgents).
Recently showcased at Malaysia Blockchain Week and Asia Blockchain Summit, iAgent Protocol introduced the innovative AI-agent as a revolutionary digital asset class that allows players around the world to create, train, trade, and monetize personalised AI-agents.
Those in attendance at MBW & ABS received a first look at an iAgent trained from the video footage of pro CounterStrike player, and Team Secret member, Flaxciz By using visual data provided by Flaxcis, the iAgent demonstrated the types of human-trained skills and manoeuvres that iAgent Protocol hopes will completely revamp the NPCs of the past.
Jamie Batzorig, CEO of iAgent and keynote speaker, unveiled the human-trained iAgent for the first time and discussed how the development team worked with AethirCloud, the project building decentralised cloud infrastructure, to make it possible. Powered by DePIN, iAgent protocol leverages underutilised GPU resources from around the world and transforms them into a distributed GPU network dedicated to training AI-agents.
To help further its development, iAgent is supported by GEDA, a web3 esports ecosystem that is onboarding esports enthusiasts, and Emerge group, a gaming marketing agency who have worked with well-known names like Valorant, Mobile Legends, and Riot Games.
One of the most promising takeaways from the showcase is that the tools used to create this groundbreaking digital asset will soon be available to everyone in the gaming ecosystem. A player only needs gameplay footage to develop their own AI-agent - of which they’ll have full ownership through the first-of-its-kind AI_NFT standard (OFT) developed by LayerZero Labs - which represents their personal gaming strategies, styles, and creativity, turning them into a digital representation of their gaming persona.
