Dear Creative,
As we deep-dive into the heart of the creator economy, it’s imperative to recognize the profound shifts currently taking place. This transformative landscape empowers creators to innovate, inspire, and ignite change while leveraging the extraordinary possibilities that technology offers.
One of the most intriguing aspects of this evolution is the fusion of creativity with blockchain technology. Through decentralization, creators can regain control over their work, ensuring they are fairly compensated while establishing direct connections with their audience. Blockchain not only enhances transparency but also provides a secure platform for artists to showcase their skills and craft. Tools like the Ethereum Attestation Service (EAS) are paving the way for creatives to validate their achievements and credentials seamlessly. Imagine the freedom of sharing your accomplishments in a verifiable manner, thereby opening doors to opportunities that were previously inaccessible.
Additionally, as the creator economy flourishes, collaboration becomes increasingly vital. We witness a newfound emphasis on community building—where brands and artists unite to amplify their voices and projects. Whether it's through shared experiences at virtual events or collective projects that leverage the power of digital assets, the future is undoubtedly bright for creatives willing to engage and inspire.
But what does it mean for creators embarking on this journey? It’s about embracing the wobble, as we've previously discussed. Perfection is a myth; it’s the quirks and nuanced imperfections that lend authenticity to your creations. These wobbly lines represent the humanity and emotion we pour into our work, shaping stories that resonate with others.
If you believe in what you do, don't wait for deals. Stop asking for permission. Make it. Drop it. Show out. The world don’t reward potential. It rewards execution. OH LET’S DO IT (BUILD) 👏🏾🔥
As we explore these themes, we encourage you to think about how you can embrace your unique journey within this ever-evolving landscape. Harness the tools, engage with your community, and share your stories. Remember, every piece of art, every musical note, and every digital creation is a step towards redefining what it means to be a creator today. Let's connect, collaborate, and take bold steps into this new era, where creativity knows no bounds!
And speaking of bold steps, it feels like ages since we last connected in December! My apologies for the radio silence – the first few months of 2024 have been a whirlwind of building, learning, and exploring, all in the spirit of empowering you, the creative community. Think of it as a deep dive into the creative laboratory, fueled by AI, Web3, and a whole lot of "wobbly" experimentation!
Back in December, we were celebrating the BETA launch of Creative TV and discussing how embracing the "wobble" in our creative process, combined with new decentralized tools like MeTokens and the Genesis App, could empower your journey. Since then, we've been heads-down, pushing those boundaries even further, particularly diving deep into the world of AI and refining the tools we introduced.
The main driver for this period of intense focus? Hackathons & Grants! These events have been incredible proving grounds for our ideas and have allowed us to collaborate with some of the brightest minds in the space. Here's a quick rundown:
Livepeer AI Hackathon Win! We're incredibly proud to announce that we secured Second Place for Best Creator Tools at the Livepeer AI Hackathon! Our winning Creative TV build implemented AI-powered video thumbnail generation and automated multilingual subtitles, all leveraging decentralized infrastructure. This means enhanced discoverability and accessibility for your content.
We're absolutely thrilled to unveil our latest creation: Daydream Clipz, now integrated with Creative TV! This is a game-changer for creators who want to push the boundaries of visual storytelling. Imagine instantly transforming yourself into anything you can dream up, all in real-time, using the power of AI. And that's exactly what Daydream Clipz delivers.
The way content should be
Getting started is simple.
Connect: Visit the Daydream Clipz page on Creative TV and connect your camera and microphone.
Choose Your Style: Select from a range of stunning art styles, from the classic brushstrokes of Van Gogh to the vibrant glow of Neon Cyberpunk. We'll be adding even more styles regularly!
Become Anything: This is where the magic happens. Type in a description of what you want to become within your chosen art style. Want to be a wise, talking tree in the style of a classic oil painting? Or a futuristic robot detective in a neon-drenched city? Just type it in!
Record & Share: Record your real-time AI transformation as a clip. You can then share it directly on Creative TV or download it for use in any other project or video editor.
Discover Omi AI - your personal AI that listens, remembers conversations, takes notes, and does tasks for you. Stay organized and proactive with real-time notifications and comprehensive memory assistance. Explore the future of wearable technology today!
Transform into an alien with a mushroom-shaped head, rendered in the vibrant colors and swirling brushstrokes of Van Gogh.
Become Spider-Man, swinging through a futuristic cityscape bathed in the neon glow of our Cyberpunk style.
Be an anime bunny traveling and enjoying the best food every city in the world has to offer.
This is just the beginning! We envision Daydream Clips as a constantly evolving platform. We're working on:
More Styles & Workflows: Expanding the library of artistic styles and adding new ways to interact with the AI.
Creator-Made Filters: We'll be opening up the platform so you, our creative community, can design and share your own unique AI-powered styles and transformations! Imagine a marketplace of creative possibilities, built by creators, for creators.
We've been deeply immersed in the world of AI agents, and we're excited to share our progress with Creative Muse, our flagship agent, and our broader vision for AI-powered assistance for creators. We believe that AI agents can be much more than just chatbots; they can be true creative partners.
You might have already encountered Creative Muse on our social media channels (Warpcast, Twitter, Discord, Telegram) and on the blockchain. We've been experimenting with various actions and abilities, powered by the ELIZA OS, to explore how an AI agent can enhance creativity and community engagement.
Here's where you can find Creative Muse in action:
apps.creativeplatform.xyz (The Terminal): Creative Muse is now integrated into our "Terminal" – your central hub for accessing all the applications within the Creative ecosystem. Think of it as your personalized guide. As you log in, Creative Muse will help you navigate to the tools and resources that best suit your creative needs for the day. This integration is a key step in making our platform more intuitive and user-friendly.
Discord Community Guide: Within our Discord server, Creative Muse acts as a helpful guide, answering questions, providing information, and directing you to relevant channels and resources. This makes it easier for new and existing members to find what they need and connect with the community.
Social Media Management: Creative Muse has also been assisting with our social media presence, helping us create posts, update the community on our progress, and engage with our followers.
Our vision extends beyond a single agent. We're developing a suite of AI agent characters, each with unique skills and personalities, designed to serve as valuable resources for creators within our ecosystem. These agents will offer various "job functionalities," providing specialized assistance in areas like:
Content Repurposing Agent: "An agent that can automatically transform a video into engaging short clips for social media."
Music Agent: "An agent that helps manage your music studio, storing AI generated music and your voice recordings."
Trend Analysis Agent: "An agent that monitors social media, market trading and identifies emerging trends relevant to your portfolio."
Idea Generation Agent: "Agent that helps you generate different unique and creative ideas."
We believe that AI agents, working with creators, can unlock new levels of productivity and creative expression. This "agents as a service" model is a core part of our long-term strategy.
Beyond Daydream Clipz and our AI agent work, we've also been hard at work enhancing the core functionality of Creative TV.
Decentralized Video Uploads: You can now upload your videos directly to Creative TV, and they'll be securely and reliably stored using the power of decentralized technology. We're leveraging Livepeer Studio and IPFS to ensure your content is always accessible and under your control. This is a crucial step towards building a truly creator-owned platform.
NFT Minting (Coming Soon!): While you can already enjoy the benefits of decentralized storage, we're putting the finishing touches on the ability to mint NFTs directly from your uploaded videos. This will open up exciting new avenues for monetization and ownership. Feel free to test out the upload feature now and get ready for the NFT capabilities!
"Going Live" Beta Program: We're thrilled to announce the beta launch of our "Going Live" feature! This allows you to stream live events and connect with your audience in real-time. We're still actively developing and refining the live streaming capabilities, so we're currently offering access to a select group of creators. Interested in joining the 'Going Live' beta? Apply here.
The convergence of AI, Web3, and the creator economy is creating a truly unprecedented moment. We believe that AI, when used thoughtfully and ethically, can be a powerful tool for unlocking creative potential. It's not about replacing human creativity; it's about augmenting it, automating tedious tasks, and opening up new avenues for expression.
Refining our hackathon projects: Turning those prototypes into robust, user-friendly tools.
Continuing our research: Staying on the cutting edge of AI and Web3 developments.
Expanding our Agents: Continuing to develop new AI Agents and creative workflows.
We're incredibly excited about the future and the role we can play in empowering the next generation of creators. Thanks for being on this journey with us!

Sincerly,
Livepeer AI Workflow Exploration: We also had a blast participating in Livepeer's AI workflow exploration, building unique creative AI workflows. Using tools like Comfy UI and Runpod, we experimented with allowing a user's webcam or phone camera to transform them into characters like Spiderman, Anime figures, Mushroom Aliens, and even Batman in real-time! The results of this fun exploration are being slowly rolled into Creative TV features, like Daydream Clips, and will continue to improve over time.
ETHGlobal Agentic Hackathon: The ETHGlobal Agentic Hackathon was a pivotal moment for our AI agent strategy. After honing our skills building on Eliza OS during a Dabl.club warm-up workshop, we entered the main hackathon and began building our very first AI agent, Creative Muse. This exploration focused on deploying Muse across multiple platforms (Twitter, Warpcast, Discord, Telegram) to research how agents can assist and interact within creative communities. While we didn't focus on prizes for this one, it was invaluable foundational research for our 'AI Agents as a Service' vision.
