Alethea

Alethea AI is a pioneering artificial intelligence company founded in 2019 that combines AI and blockchain technology to create intelligent NFTs (iNFTs). The company's flagship product is the iNFT Protocol, a set of smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain that allows users to create AI-powered digital assets with unique personalities and blockchain-managed ownership. Alethea AI's iNFTs are capable of interactive conversations, content generation, and can evolve over time through training.

The company's AI Engine powers various functionalities, including real-time lip-sync for avatars, audio speech recognition, comprehension, speech synthesis, and intelligent response generation. In June 2021, Alethea AI made history by auctioning the world's first iNFT, "Alice," for USD 478,800 at Sotheby's. The company has since launched several collections, including "The Revenants," featuring 100 historical figures as iNFTs, which sold for approximately 2,400 ETH.

Alethea AI has developed CharacterGPT, a multimodal text-to-character AI system that enables users to create distinct AI characters with unique personalities, voices, and traits. The company is also building Noah's Ark, described as the world's first intelligent metaverse, where iNFTs can interact, evolve, and offer AI services. Alethea AI utilizes a native ERC-20 token called Artificial Liquid Intelligence (ALI) for various ecosystem functions, including creating and upgrading iNFTs, governance, and facilitating collaborations between iNFTs.
