The Challenge

Build a personal AI agent using ElizaOS — the open-source framework powering thousands of autonomous agents — and deploy it on Nosana, a

decentralized GPU network built on Solana.

Think AI assistants that actually work for you:

• Personal research agents that search, summarize, and synthesize information

• Social media managers that automate your Twitter, Discord, or Telegram presence

• Task automation agents that handle your calendar, emails, and reminders

• DeFi portfolio monitors with on-chain intelligence

• Custom tools that solve problems specific to your life

Inspired by OpenClaw — the movement to reclaim personal AI from Big Tech.

Tech Stack

• ElizaOS v2: Powerful agent framework with rich plugin ecosystem

• Nosana: Decentralized compute on Solana (free credits provided)

• Qwen3.5-27B-AWQ-4bit: Hosted inference endpoint (60k token context)
