Arda Erturk, Founder of DAOhub
I have been entrenched in the world of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) for quite some time now. I've witnessed firsthand the rapid growth and immense potential of this decentralized ecosystem, and yet, I've also seen the challenges that many of its members and contributors face. One of the most pressing issues we've identified is the lack of convenient access to information among DAO members and contributors. This is what inspired us to build DAOhub - an AI-powered knowledge base to help DAOs manage and leverage their knowledge effectively.
The problem in the industry is not due to a lack of information. In fact, DAOs have a wealth of knowledge stored in various sources such as Discord conversations, internal Notion documents, websites, support pages, governance forums, etc. The challenge lies in efficiently organizing and accessing this information to aid decision-making, collaboration, and knowledge sharing. This is where DAOhub comes in, powered by lovely Open AI, to bridge the gap between the vast resources of information and the DAO community's needs.
We believe that the intersection of AI and web3 presents a tremendous opportunity to revolutionize the way we access and interact with information. While there are hundreds of startups building AI companies using pure OpenAI APIs, many of them are unable to create real utility or contribute meaningfully to the web3 ecosystem. At DAOhub, we are determined to rise above this trend.
To build DAOhub, we've combined the power of OpenAI's game-changing LLM models, like GPT-4, with our expertise in vector embedding models. This unique approach enables us to extract, categorize, and present relevant information in a highly accessible manner, ensuring that DAO members and contributors can quickly find the answers they need. Our goal is to facilitate more efficient communication and collaboration within DAOs, ultimately driving better decision-making and stronger communities. (On a personal note, I’m a nerd about vector embedding models, LLM, BERTopic, and anything related to machine learning. I’ll write another piece about how we utilize these models for DAOhub.)
We believe that the potential use cases of AI in the world of DAOs are extensive and multifaceted. By integrating DAOhub, DAOs can efficiently address a wide range of inquiries and streamline various processes. Here are some of the prompts that our platform can effectively handle:
Staying updated on ongoing projects and tasks, and understanding how to contribute.
Staying informed about DAO activities.
Summarizing decisions from governance proposals and keeping track of key metrics.
Navigating the DAO's budget and proposal creation process.
Gaining insight into the DAO's mission, vision, values, and governance structure.
Understanding tokenomics discussions, governance call takeaways, and evaluating proposals.
Addressing challenges, and boosting member participation by incentivizing contributions
Accessing technical resources.
Understanding the sentiment in the community including Twitter, proposal discussions etc.
Support inquiries
By making information more accessible, we are taking the first step in unlocking the power of AI for the benefit of DAOs and the broader web3 ecosystem. One of the core tenets of our vision for DAOhub is the democratization of knowledge. By making it easy for both members and contributors to access valuable information, we hope to break down barriers to entry and foster greater inclusivity within the DAO ecosystem. In this way, we believe that AI can help level the playing field, allowing more people to participate in and benefit from the web3 revolution.
In building DAOhub, we are not only addressing a critical pain point in the DAO space but also laying the groundwork for the next generation of AI-powered web3 applications. We are excited to embark on this journey and are committed to pushing the boundaries of what AI can do for DAOs and the web3 ecosystem.
As we look to the future, we are eager to collaborate with the wider web3 communities to explore new use cases and unlock the full potential of AI in the decentralized world. We believe that, together, we can drive meaningful change and create a more accessible, equitable, and efficient web3 landscape.
