make social feed technologies accessible to all builders

❜mbd

Farcaster

below is simple feed aggregating content from a list of core $higher community members (someone said cabal?)

built using the @mbd feed builder:

1. calls the 'for you' feed API endpoint
2. fetches all casts from past 10 days 
3. mbd's custom models scores casts and ranks them based on my FID's history

this can be either use as a way to create and monitor lists or as an input to another feed through the 'promotions' feature

many improvements coming in this area of the product. potential is here!

build personalized feeds for any list of users using the feedbuilder on mbd.xyz

What would you build? Few teams built cool RAG for agents already with our vectorDB of all casts. Follow the tuto here: https://docs.mbd.xyz/docs/content-discovery-api-for-rag-summaries-and-insights

We used a distilled roberta fine tuned on 100M tweets so that the embeddings are great for short sentences and cast search & classification.

Soon this will get 100X better with a specific fine tuned model on all FC data and take into account the content of the URLs and media of the casts!

You can get personalized Farcaster feed from your favorite client using  @mbd now

Where you post, like, and share is also considered in our ML training so you will soon be able to set it as context and not just filter by it. This way you get smart recommendations depending on how you use each client.

Head here to try it out -> console.mbd.xyz

we'll be sharing some technical updates re. API migration here soon.

keep posted!

wallets are at the forefront of an industry scale challenge: retention

according to @a16zcrypto's state of crypto report 2024, only 5–10% of people who bought crypto have actively participated in recent onchain activities

thankfully, social graph based recommendations can help solve that!

We're launching 0xRec, an AI accelerator program powered by our team of machine learning personalization talents at @mbd. 

This is part of a broader push for client diversity. The idea is to help small innovative teams get really good at providing the very best onchain content to their users.

If we want to retain users beyond this cycle, web3 apps will need to compete head-to-head vs. web2 powerhouses. We think that we, as a space, can do better than what exists today and give user's more agency over their experiences and feeds.

Some of the benefits of the program include dedicated support from us and free access (up to $100k worth of credits) to our AI models for personalization, moderation and discovery.

Join a small group of web3 social apps with dedicated support from us to get your AI game to the next level :)

The biggest opportunity in crypto over the next 12 months: convert the remaining ~600 million crypto owners and passive investors to active crypto users. If we get to only activate 50% of everyone who ever bought $btc $eth or $sol that will 10X transactions, volumes, and revenues. A much needed boost the app layer! Discovery friendly wallets and web3 social apps are the most positioned to do this. 

Build thoughtful and hyper personalized notifications, email companions, discovery and exploration feeds focused on mainstream users to show them the best of what builders have been up to this cycle: social media content, frames, mini apps, memes, articles, podcasts, music, tickets and much more is already onchain!!!

Help the late comers engage with  @farcaster @zora @pods @paragraph @audius content and so many others! Never been a better time to start a consumer crypto app!

Time for web3 to step up its game and surface only the best of what it has in store to new users

1/3 Excited to announce that @mbd has secured $3M in pre-seed funding to bring AI-powered recommender systems to Farcaster builders!

Co-led by @masknetwork, @polymorphicvc w/ participation from @a16zcrypto /CSX, @socialgraphvc, Forward Research and WAGMI.

Creating engaging clients—whether trading-focused, art & NFT-focused, or even AI agents—requires more than open access to raw data. To sustainably engage users, applications must deliver personalized, spam-free quality content to their users.

Since early 2023 at @mbd, we’ve been building advanced machine-learning recommendation systems pre-trained on Farcaster data and designed to deliver dynamic, relevant content and actions tailored to each user. All are accessible through a dead simple API.

gm founders, excited to share some ❜mbd news. We've just announced our $3M fundraising round!

One goal: support web3 app builders in creating highly engaging user experiences.

How??? 

➝ By providing access to the best AI models in web3 for personalization, recommendations and moderation.
