Mission Valory creates open-source software for co-owned AI, enabling joint operation and control of AI software for novel use cases in crypto, science, and enterprise. Our mission is to empower communities, organizations, and countries to co-own AI systems, starting with decentralized autonomous agents. Products We co-founded OLAS DAO (olas.network) and have created the first services using it and the Olas Stack(docs.autonolas.network). We have also built a hosted platform for removing DevOps hassle from running said services: Propel (propel.valory.xyz). Team Valory is the VC-backed team of engineers, researchers and commercial executors that raised a successful Seed round and executed a successful public token launch for the Olas DAO.
Our client is the first to enable co-owned AI, combining the best of web2 (complexity, AI) and web3 (full decentralization). Combining crypto and autonomous agent technology has seen growing interest in recent months, yet they have built it into Olas from the beginning after a Seed Round in 2021.
