The former focuses on solving specific problems or having a particular style, while the latter emphasizes providing users with an environment to build AI Agents, empowering the platform's native token and creating value.
The author suggests that when choosing AI Agent-related projects, one should pay attention to platform-type projects that continuously output content and create assets, as their narratives tend to be more enduring and have a higher potential to attract funding.
The article focuses on analyzing two projects, MAX and Alchemist AI, both of which adopt a "platform + market" combination model, where an AI Agent serves as the front-end entry point, supported by the platform; at the same time, they have established an app store and value exchange mechanism within the platform, reflecting new trends in industry development.
