On the weekend, the long-awaited ACP from the Virtual ecosystem finally went live.
As soon as I saw it was online, I tried out the Butler Agent.
However, when it came to actually using it, I found myself at a loss for what I hoped it could help me with, so I asked it a question about the AI + Crypto ecosystem in Base.
It recommended Arbus, costing 0.65 Virtual and taking about two minutes, and provided me with an answer. The answer it gave was not particularly impressive, but it was acceptable.
During this process, I carefully observed the entire interaction flow it handled in the background. From the interaction information, it indeed operated as described in the ACP white paper.
I was not surprised by this somewhat rough answer. After all, this stage of the product is just a prototype, merely having run through the technical path. There is still a long way to go before it can truly enter a stage of large-scale practical use, and many unforeseen issues need to be resolved.
However, the long march has finally taken its first step.
Many users online have made various suggestions about ACP and even expressed various disappointments, which is quite normal.
One user's results, however, sparked quite a bit of discussion.
This user spent some money to have the Butler Agent create a video for him, complete with subtitles and music.
The user was very satisfied with this result.
What I find curious is that there are similar tools available in ChatGPT's product line for creating videos and music, and there are plenty of free tools online.
Could users achieve the same results using those free tools?
If so, why pay for ACP?
Therefore, my question is whether the current users paying to use ACP are doing so out of curiosity or genuine need.
If it’s curiosity, it certainly cannot last long; only genuine need can trigger an explosion in this ecosystem.
If we consider what advantages ACP has over free tools in the aforementioned scenario, the only thing I can think of is that Butler Agent can coordinate multiple AI Agents to create videos, subtitles, and music on the same theme simultaneously. This coordination effect is likely something users cannot achieve by calling each free tool individually.
However, there are also traditional AI tools like Manus that can coordinate multiple AI Agents to complete a task. I wonder if ACP has any unique advantages compared to such AI tools?
Back to ACP.
The most important significance of the practical implementation of the ACP protocol is that it technically demonstrates the potential profitable scenarios and models that AI + Crypto can generate—millions of AI Agents trading encrypted assets on the blockchain and profiting from these transactions.
The technical success of implementation is only a necessary condition for the explosion of the AI + Crypto track; it still lacks a sufficient condition: an application scenario or combination of AI Agents that can truly solve user pain points and meet essential needs.
It's like a highway has been built, but what’s needed next is for cars to fill the road.
To find such scenarios or AI Agents, relying solely on the current Genesis Launches is certainly not enough; we need more and better teams to develop AI Agents.
Therefore, what I look forward to next is for the Virtual team to focus on optimizing, improving, and promoting the ACP protocol. Especially to ensure that as many AI Agents as possible, regardless of whether they are launched in Genesis Launches, can easily connect to the ACP protocol.
This not only requires attracting development teams from the Web 3 ecosystem but also reaching out to the broader Web 2 ecosystem to attract more and larger teams to participate in this protocol.
This development direction and model is also what I currently see as a potentially successful AI + Crypto model.
On Saturday, July 12, at 7:30 PM, we will have an online discussion, and everyone can post their questions in the following thread:
