Last week, at the second Crypto x AI Demo Night hosted by @variantfund, five teams presented their visions for the future — including AI agents with “memory,” decentralized model training, and new possibilities for autonomous investors.

The following is an analysis of their innovative achievements.

1.plastic_labs

Project Introduction

Demonstrated Honcho, an AI tool that personalizes through memory to unlock personalized features across all apps.

In the demo, Honcho leverages Coinbase’s x402 payment protocol, allowing others to pay directly to query your AI agent’s memory and insights.

2. livylabs

Project Introduction

In a world filled with AI noise, @livylabs wants to be the solution to verify the truth.

@saugardev demonstrated how to use Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZK Proofs) to verify content authenticity, prove provenance, and protect against deepfakes, enabling a trusted information future through cryptography.

3.plutolabs_

Project Introduction

@devloper_xyz demonstrated @plutolabs_’s AI agents that can securely access user accounts and navigate the network through Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs).

Pluto enables agents to perform tasks and collect data for users without exposing sensitive information, thereby building trust between parties.

4.AIDEN

Project Description: Marc Andreessen believes that venture capital (VC) will be the last profession to be automated by AI, but AIDEN by @tributelabsxyz doesn't think so.

@pridesai explains how AIDEN conducts due diligence (DD), completes valuation analysis, and interacts directly with founders to provide investment advice to DAO members.

5. flwrlabs

Project Introduction

@WilliamLMnz introduces @flwrlabs' federated learning platform, which enables decentralized model training among independent data owners while preserving privacy.

He also specifically mentioned Collective-1, the first model trained on @vana’s Data DAO architecture.

Thank you to all the speakers and attendees!

Through these demonstrations, we saw how Crypto x AI can drive new models of personal data ownership, composability, and capital formation and monetization.
