Please describe your proposed solution
If you love Cardano and especially the Catalyst project, you will surely know the story below and have empathy for those guys, so just support us. If you are new to the Catalyst project and don’t know these situations that are happening every day in the Catalyst community, you also should support this proposal because it will help you.
As you don’t know, Daniel is the soul of the Catalyst community, who dedicates his all time to everyone old or new to the Catalyst project. But…
When Daniel sleeps and you ask, you have to wait for him for a couple of hours.
So: Your progress halts, leading to frustration and delays that could discourage ongoing engagement with the Catalyst community.
When Daniel uses his holiday, you have to wait for a couple of days.
It means: Inquiries pile up during his absence, creating a backlog that wastes everyone’s time once he returns. Sadly, this is a must-do if you're shy about emailing the Catalyst team directly. This not only slows down the community's momentum but also burdens Daniel with an overwhelming workload, impacting his efficiency and well-being.
When Daniel gets sick, c’mon, let him take some rest!
Well, It’s not just about humanizing Daniel’s role but also about the community's over-reliance on him. His absence due to illness can lead to significant information delays, stalling projects and reducing the operational capacity of the entire community.
When Daniel announces and attaches an important post, you miss it because you turned off all notifications due to the overwhelming number of messages.
Impact: Essential information gets lost in the noise, leading you to disengage from notifications entirely. This not only causes you to miss out on critical updates but can also result in misinformed decisions based on outdated or incomplete information.
More than that, you also don’t want to receive all emails from Catalyst, that’s why you unsubscribe, so you also cannot receive the important news.
The inability to filter important communications from general updates leads to a total cutoff from vital information. This isolation can cause misalignment with community goals and initiatives, leaving you out of the loop and potentially out of sync with the community's direction.
Worse, how about newbies? They will ask the same questions again and again—questions that have been answered thousands of times. And they have to wait for someone to answer. Where’s Daniel? C’mon, he is human!
It’s normal: Repeated questions from newbies are common in any community. If you're a seasoned member, you might help them occasionally, but too many repetitive queries can become tiresome. Eventually, you might stop responding to these repeated questions.
Daniel? He might not do that, but there will be some delays. For a newbie, these delays can create a perception that our community is inactive or even indifferent to their queries. Thus, we risk losing them!
Let us help Daniel - and everyone who need Daniel
We’re stepping up to save Daniel from the brink of digital exhaustion! By harnessing the power of AI technology alongside our powerful educational whiteboard videos, we’re aiming to give him—and everyone else—a much-needed breather. Imagine an AI bot so smart it can tackle all the questions, from the noob-level to the mind-benders, and keep the community buzzing with timely, accurate responses.
AI to the Rescue: Night or Day Support
When Daniel sleeps and you ask, you don't have to wait for him for a couple of hours anymore. With our community AI bot, the community never sleeps! This ever-alert AI assistant means you get answers instantly, whether it’s night or day.
AI Never Takes a Vacation: Continuous Availability
Even while Daniel sips cocktails on the beach during his holiday, you can still ask your questions. Our AI doesn’t need breaks, holidays, or sleep. It stays on-duty, ensuring no question goes unanswered and no backlog ever builds up. Our community keeps moving forward.
Health-First AI: Support During Illness
Now Daniel can have time to heal himself when getting sick. With AI handling the frontline queries, Daniel can take that sick leave guilt-free. Our digital warrior handles the influx of daily questions, ensuring the community’s needs are met without skipping a beat.
Just Subscribe: Smart Notifications for Important Updates

You can even choose which category that our AI should send and which is not. It's totally free. Also, don't be scared of scams, because it's a bot!
AI Newbie Trainer: Educating Newcomers
Great instructor for newbies. The AI doesn’t tire of repeated questions. It provides patient, consistent answers to common queries, helping newbies get up to speed quickly. No more waiting, no more newbie frustration! Moreover, we will train the AI to be able to consult newbies on the series of topics that they are considering or need to know for fundamental knowledge.
Integration Magic with n8n:
All these AI functionalities are intricately woven together using the n8n automation platform. This integration ensures seamless communication and efficient data handling, making the AI not just smart, but also incredibly coordinated. We will use RAG to retrieve data not only from manually provided documents but also from daily news, community conversations, and manual responses from our private group of experts for uncertain questions.
From ChatGPT to Local Brilliance:
We will first start with the prowess of ChatGPT, but will soon transition to using more of our locally-stored AI for cost-saving, ensuring faster responses and tailored solutions, all while keeping data secure and community interactions swift.
Leveraging Educational Resources:
All the steps mentioned above will utilize both our video whiteboard and assets about the Catalyst project like infographics, designs, documents, blogs…official information from Catalyst to help everyone catch the resources ASAP. This will also ensure that everyone seeking answers can have great results. This approach highlights that our proposal is not just about designing AI but about creating a rich educational ecosystem to support and enhance the AI’s capabilities.
AI is just a “free”
The AI is a 'free' component of this proposal—already under development by our parent company, set to launch by end of May.
Our focus? Producing and deploying educational content that leverages this AI to enhance community support. The AI offers cost-free assistance, funded externally, ensuring all proposed funding goes directly into creating high-quality, impactful educational materials for the Cardano community. This approach maximizes the value and reach of our efforts, providing robust, scalable support without additional financial burden on the community.
