Hi Polkadot Community,

We're thrilled to introduce a pre-proposal for “PolkaBot.AI - Decentralized AI Education Hub on Polkadot”. Polkabot.AI aims to revolutionize the way we learn and interact with content within the Polkadot ecosystem, leveraging the convergence of Internet, AI and Crypto. The proposal will launch on Mar 26th 2024.

PolkaBot.AI leverages the powers of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) but does so in a way to minimize its challenges (hallucination, data ownership infringements). It is a collaborative effort of crowdsourcing knowledge about Polkadot and its parachains where knowledge miners will be receiving rewards in both DOT and NEURO for providing high quality inputs. The running of the AI-powered interfaces on the website, X profile, Discord and Telegram bots will all be free to use and maintenance covered in the scope of this proposal.

The proposal also previews the launch of the Polkadot-focused course on the Trace Alliance Academy where PolkaBot.AI will act as a learning assistant.

We are aiming to achieve:
- 5M+ impressions on X posts,
- 20.000 unique users (identified by Polkadot wallet, or unique email, Telegram/Discord/X handle)
- 50.000+ replies for Telegram and Discord bot,
- 5.000+ replies on X (100/day limit)


This proposal includes a detailed roadmap and a clear budget plan, ensuring transparency and accountability. It is proposed by Trace Alliance, the collaborative hub of the OriginTrail community and spearheaded by individuals who were core to the success of both OriginTrail DKG and the NeuroWeb parachain.

We invite you to be a part of this innovative journey and see PolkaBot.AI move from the exciting BETA to the production V1.

Thank you for considering, and supporting, this proposal!
