PRODUCT & MOTION STUDIES / WIP

Give the research
a little instinct.

A market-research copilot with a fly’s curiosity and an agent’s ability to explain. This is how the product and its character are taking shape.

THE PRODUCT WE ARE AIMING FOR

One signal in.
A clearer brief out.

Start with a market event, token question, or research thesis. The proposed agent gathers permitted evidence, develops a case, challenges it, and returns a structured research brief.

The first useful result: what happened, why it might matter, what contradicts the story, and what information is missing. “Wait” is a valid conclusion.

Today: an interactive scripted prototype and deployed web backend. Live model replies, external data retrieval, ElizaOS orchestration, and fly-inspired inference are not activated.

THE INTENDED OUTPUT / ILLUSTRATIVE
RESEARCH BRIEF / SAMPLENO LIVE DATA

Price is moving.
Is the evidence moving with it?

OBSERVATION
A hypothetical token’s price rises while its available liquidity declines.
THESIS
New attention may be driving momentum. Check whether independent flows support it.
COUNTERCASE
Thin liquidity may exaggerate the price move. Several reports may repeat the same original source.
MISSING EVIDENCE
Fresh depth data, execution costs, and independently verified catalysts.
NEXT STEP
Investigate. Do not turn an incomplete story into an execution instruction.
TWO ROOTS / ONE CHARACTER

Keep the scribble.
Give it wings.

The orange circle and white handwritten mark acknowledge the original ai16z aesthetic. The fruit fly adds curiosity, motion, and a compact visual identity of its own.

The research companion

Small enough to sit beside a source. Expressive enough to notice a contradiction. The mascot is a guide through a research process, not a promise of intelligence or trading performance.

In the lore, the fly finds the window. In the interface, its job is simpler: help visitors understand what the system is doing.

INDEPENDENT HOMAGE / NO OFFICIAL AFFILIATION
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT / WIP

Six poses.
One curious mind.

Animation concept studies for a future agent companion. The storyboard below is artwork; the full character animation system is not implemented.

Six-panel WIP animation study showing the ai16zzz fruit fly in idle, notice, inspect, doubt, connect, and rest poses
01 / IDLE

Ready, not restless.

A quiet resting pose while the visitor decides what to ask.

02 / NOTICE

Something changed.

A brief orientation toward a newly supplied observation.

03 / INSPECT

Read the source.

A focused pose while evidence is being gathered.

04 / DOUBT

Find the countercase.

A questioning pose when evidence conflicts or falls short.

05 / CONNECT

Assemble the brief.

A connecting gesture when the research is synthesized.

06 / REST

Know when to stop.

Stillness when the task is done, paused, or waiting for input.

The character should
earn its screen time.

Ambient flies stay near page edges. Motion can be switched off and pauses in a hidden tab. Future agent-state animations should reflect actual work, rather than imply activity that is not happening.
