1️⃣ Install and Explore Airas Assistant

Airas Assistant is our AI-driven chat platform, tailored for blockchain tasks. Soon to be open source, it will let you customize and integrate AI chat directly into your projects.

1. Sign Up / Check Availability Visit Airas Assistant (link coming soon!) for details on beta access or upcoming release notes. Keep an eye on our GitHub for an open-source version if you’d rather self-host or modify.

2. Get Comfortable with the UI Explore the chat interface. Ask blockchain-related questions to see how it handles queries about contracts, NFTs, or general crypto topics.

3. Plan Your Integrations If you plan to embed Airas Assistant into your own dApps or internal tools, watch for our upcoming open-source release. You’ll be able to fork the repo and customize it to match your project’s needs.

2️⃣ Set Up Airas Agent

Airas Agent is where the magic of autonomous AI meets real-world web navigation. Think of it as your AI-powered sidekick that can execute tasks across various websites—perfect for DeFi operations, NFT scouting, or any repetitive web-based workflow.

Quick Start

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/airas-network/airas-agent.git
cd airas-agent

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Create your .env file (pick an AI provider)
cp .env.example .env

In your .env, set up keys for your chosen AI provider:

AI_PROVIDER=openai
OPENAI_API_KEY=YOUR_OPENAI_KEY
OPENAI_MODEL=gpt-4o-mini
# or configure Ollama if you prefer local AI

Run the Dev Server

npm run dev

• Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser.

• Enter a goal or task (e.g., “Compare top NFT marketplaces”).

• Watch Airas Agent autonomously navigate and gather information for you.

Tips

• Enable logging or screenshots in your .env for deeper insights.

• Explore the app/lib folder to understand how browser automation is handled.

• Check out the AI Providers section to switch between OpenAI and Ollama seamlessly.

3️⃣ Connect to Airas Network

Our own Airas Network is built on Polygon zkEVM technology, offering low fees and high throughput. This is the place to deploy your dApps, tokens, or experiments in a decentralized, AI-friendly environment.

1. Configure Your Wallet Add the Airas Network to MetaMask or your preferred wallet. Grab some test tokens if available (details coming soon).

2. Deploy Smart Contracts Use familiar Polygon zkEVM tools (e.g., Hardhat, Truffle) but point them to Airas Network RPC endpoints. Compile and deploy your contracts as you normally would.

3. Integrate with Airas Assistant Once deployed, ask Airas Assistant to help you verify or interact with your contracts. Streamline tasks like contract function calls, reading logs, or analyzing transaction data.

4. Automate with Airas Agent Let Airas Agent handle repetitive tasks—like tracking token prices or bridging assets—using its AI-driven web automation.
