Getting Started with AI Agents I Nikolay Dimitrov

Thu, Oct 2, 2025, 12:00 AM

Nikolay Dimitrov from FetchAI introduces the integration of large language models (LLMs) and AI agents within the FetchAI and ASI, Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, ecosystem. The platform features a 39B parameter LLM, an open-source agent hosting platform (Agentverse AI), and a foundational Web3 layer with the Almanac smart contract for agent discovery. Users can express intents (e.g., DeFi strategies, property search, EV charging) in natural language, and the system finds or creates agents to fulfill these tasks, enabling actionable outputs beyond simple text. Developers can easily build, register, and deploy agents for any conceivable use case, benefiting from robust documentation and a supportive community. The system supports real-time data integration and agent interoperability, fostering a two-sided marketplace for users and developers. A hackathon is announced, highlighting the growing demand for AI agent developers as a viable, high-impact career path. Resources, support, and examples are available via FetchAI docs and Discord. 00:00 Introduction 00:32 Human Intents and Use Cases 01:03 System Components Overview 01:56 ASI1 LLM and Agent Hosting Platform 02:40 Documentation and Core Architecture 02:59 Smart Contract and Agent Registration 03:52 Benefits and Real-World Applications 05:05 Developer Opportunities and Framework 05:54 Use Cases Beyond Web3 06:18 User Base and Agent Deployment 06:42 Live Demonstration: Prompting the LLM 07:23 Agent Search and Reasoning 08:03 Creating and Hosting Agents 08:56 Recap: LLM with and without Agents 09:28 Real-Time Data and Use Case Examples 10:14 General Purpose AI and Infrastructure 11:03 EV Charging Agent Demo 12:12 User-Agent Interaction 12:45 Compound AI Systems and Integrations 13:38 Search, Discovery, and Developer Opportunities 14:19 Hackathon Announcement 14:47 AI Agent Development as a Career 15:33 Hackathon Support and Resources 16:22 Accessing Resources and Community 17:09 Documentation and Getting Started 17:30 Conclusion _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 🇫🇷 *ETHGlobal Cannes* This workshop is specifically for ETHGlobal Cannes, a 3-day hackathon held July 4-6, bringing together the most skilled web3 developers, designers and product builders from all around the globe for a weekend-long adventure to advance the Ethereum ecosystem!
