Harish Kotra I Build & Deploy AI Agents using Gaia & Collab Land I Agentic Ethereum 2025

Thu, Oct 2, 2025, 12:00 AM

Join Harish Kotra from Gaia for a hands-on guide to launching AI Agents that run fully under your control—locally or on your own server. In this workshop, learn how to install and configure Gaia’s decentralized computing infrastructure, integrate with Collab Land to enable seamless Telegram and Twitter bots, and fine-tune your agents to handle specialized LLM tasks using open-source models. Whether you’re looking to build a DeFi AI assistant, manage on-chain transactions, or simply create a custom knowledge base for your LLM, this session demonstrates a quick start—from installing the Gaia CLI, spinning up a node, and using the Collab Land AI agent starter kit to deploy fully operational AI agents in minutes. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 🤖 *Agentic Ethereum* Agentic Ethereum is an online, async hackathon that runs from Jan. 31 to Feb. 12, 2025. With over $175,000 USD in prizes, Agentic Ethereum is a great way to dive into the world of autonomous AI agents and explore how they can revolutionize projects on Ethereum.
