Create and Manage Agents

Modus provides a system for creating, customizing, and managing AI agents, enabling contributors to build modular, high-value tools for use across the ecosystem. Through a streamlined creation process, transparent compute cost management, and a comprehensive agent registry, Modus ensures agents are effective, profitable, and reusable.


Agent Creation and Customization

The agent creation process in Modus allows contributors to design AI agents tailored to specific roles and functions. With tools for customization and the ability to integrate unique context-specific information, Modus enables the creation of versatile agents that can adapt to various organizational needs.

  1. Creation Wizard:

    • Contributors use an intuitive step-by-step interface to design agents.

    • Define the agent’s purpose, functionality, and role (e.g., customer service, data analysis).

    • Upload context-specific information, such as PDFs, datasets, or training documents, to differentiate the agent with unique skills.

  2. Customizable Parameters:

    • Specify compute requirements, task priorities, and interaction protocols.

    • Modular design allows agents to integrate seamlessly with existing workflows or DAOs.

  3. Standardized Framework:

    • All agents adhere to Modus-defined communication and performance standards, ensuring interoperability across the ecosystem.


Compute Cost Management

To ensure operational efficiency and financial sustainability, compute costs for agents are managed through a decentralized pay-to-spawn model. This model shifts responsibility to contributors while maintaining profitability through automated pricing mechanisms.

  1. Pay-to-Spawn Model:

    • Contributors pay for compute costs upfront in $MOD tokens, ensuring that agents remain operational without centralized resource management.

    • Costs are estimated based on:

      • Agent complexity and required compute power.

      • Expected usage volume and task frequency.

  2. Profitability Assurance:

    • A built-in tool calculates minimum token charges per query to ensure profitability.

    • Dynamic pricing adjusts based on demand, ensuring agents remain economically viable even in fluctuating conditions.

  3. Revenue Split:

    • A portion of the agent’s earnings flows to its creator, incentivizing high-quality contributions.

    • A small percentage is directed to the Modus DAO treasury to support platform growth and sustainability.


Agent Registry

The Modus Agent Registry acts as a centralized database where all approved agents are listed, making it easy for DAOs to discover and integrate them into their workflows. The registry also provides transparency around agent performance and usage, fostering trust and collaboration within the ecosystem.

  1. Centralized Listing:

    • All approved agents are listed in a searchable registry, showcasing:

      • Capabilities, training data, and performance metrics.

      • Compute requirements and estimated query costs.

      • Tokenized ownership and revenue-sharing models.

  2. Cross-DAO Usability:

    • Agents in the registry are modular and reusable, allowing DAOs to integrate them into their workflows seamlessly.

    • Popular agents accrue value as they are adopted by multiple DAOs.

  3. Transparent Performance Tracking:

    • Contributors and DAOs can monitor agent usage, revenue generation, and overall impact, driving continuous improvement.
