ASI Workshop I Rishank Jhavar

Sun, Nov 2, 2025, 12:00 AM

Rishank Jhavar from Fetch.ai, representing the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI), explains how ASI—formed by Fetch.ai, SingularityNET, Ocean Protocol, and Kudos—aims to decentralize the AI ecosystem by creating an open, interoperable alternative to Big Tech’s control over AI. Fetch.ai’s stack centers on building, deploying, and discovering AI agents through its tools: U-Agents (open-source Python framework for autonomous agents), Agentverse (a cloud platform for hosting agents, similar to Vercel for AI), and ASI1, a Web3-native LLM that allows users to discover and interact with agents directly. ASI1 supports “GEO” (Generative Engine Optimization), helping agents gain visibility. Singularity’s Meta language integrates with Fetch.ai to provide knowledge graph reasoning and complex logical computation for AI workflows. He demonstrates how developers can easily create and deploy agents using Agentverse, register them via the Almanac contract, and make them discoverable on ASI1 by optimizing their READMEs. The session closes with a brief from Chirag of Metalix, describing Metalix, a peer-to-peer AI agent-based decentralized exchange built with Fetch.ai’s framework, enabling cross-chain trading without liquidity pools. Rishank concludes by pointing attendees to the Innovation Lab documentation (innovationlab.fetch.ai/resources), a hackathon “cheat code” full of ready-to-build examples across frameworks like LangChain, CrewAI, and MCP, encouraging participants to experiment, integrate, and build decentralized agentic systems on the ASI stack. 00:02 Intro – What is the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI) 00:52 Overview of Fetch.ai and AI agent ecosystem 02:31 Singularity’s Meta language explained 03:42 What are U-Agents and how they work 04:25 Agentverse marketplace overview 04:44 ASI1 – the agentic LLM and discovery layer 05:38 Building and deploying with Fetch.ai 07:01 Key tools – U-Agents, chat protocol, adapters 08:24 Innovation Lab documentation overview 09:57 Demo – Creating agents on Agentverse 12:20 Discovering agents on ASI1 12:48 Metalix – P2P AI Agent-based DEX 15:24 Innovation Lab examples & hackathon resources 18:46 Closing remarks and support _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 🇮🇳 *ETHGlobal New Delhi* This workshop is specifically for ETHGlobal New Delhi, a 3-day hackathon held September 19-21 at the India International Convention & Expo Centre, 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!
