Yesterday, CZ forwarded the content of @ myshell_i integrating DeepSeek, and the market discussed MyShell's innovative response speed. However, looking back at the AI Agent Outlook post recently released by its founder, the answer can be roughly found: MyShell has chosen a more "pragmatic" AI Agent race layout strategy. 1) MyShell has a unique identity as it was one of the earliest products in the web3 field to be labeled as an AI agent aggregation platform. At the same time, it is also the AI platform in the web3 field that is most similar to the web2 Agent application store. In the web2 field, it is very unconventional, but in the web3 field, it is not native enough. Perhaps because of this, MyShell seems to have been absent from the AI agent hype represented by Virtual and ai16z in web3 in the past, but in essence, it has chosen a more "pragmatic" path. 2) So when it comes to the controversial framework and standards for mainstream AI agent narrative direction, whether individual AI is practical, and whether DeFai, MetAiverse, and others can be implemented, MyShell can proudly say in its annual summary that its platform has accumulated 5 million users, 200000 creators, 20000 AI agent applications, and a complete agent development framework ShellAgent, among other achievements. In addition, some of its creators have achieved a monthly income of $4000, demonstrating a certain commercial monetization model and sustainability. It is not difficult to see that MyShell has made a sound in the market with more stable and solid achievements such as data and pattern growth. MyShell will also seize a place in the AI Agent narrative boom, and its advantages may become more prominent during the market's empty window period after returning from concept speculation to rationality? 3) It seems that MyShell has taken a unique path, but the essential question is: should the AI agent market first have mature single AI applications, or launch pad asset issuance narrative foam? Obviously, before the emergence of the TRUMP token, the narrative of "asset issuance" prevailed, and the DeFI NFT、 The Yuan universe and other narratives have been repeated. It is obvious that asset issuance is more suitable for market needs, but after the birth of the foam, it will return to the fundamental issue of the practicality of monomer AI. In contrast, MyShell chose to first mature the application of individual AI agents and then fill the gap in token based incentives. For example, ShellAgent provides a no code development framework and is equipped with three development modes (basic/professional/no code) to adapt to different developers. In addition, it also provides supporting services such as computing resources and model hosting, API calling and service orchestration, payment and settlement infrastructure, etc., to maximize the development, implementation, and operation of individual AI Agent applications. 4) After a suitable single AI agent application deployment, development, operation, and business model monetization run smoothly, MyShell can add an additional web3 token incentive system on the basis of the platform's large user base and applications, such as using SHELL as a full ecosystem incentive token. Users can earn points by participating in activities and exchange them for SHELL. Users can connect to wallets to participate in incentive plans and support cross chain asset and token interaction, etc. It is difficult to say whether the model of "application first" followed closely by Tokenomics has more momentum. But the advantage is that with a mature product matrix and user base, it will bring about economies of scale, and then launching tokenomics economic incentives will form strong value support. Compared with other "asset issuance driven" speculators, the path they take will be much more stable. above. Finally, personally, I do not want to evaluate whether the narrative trend of AI agents is more suitable for the "pragmatists" or the "speculators", because everyone's goal is to promote the main narrative of AI+Crypto, but they have taken different paths.
