🤝 Build Your First AI Agent

🎯 Build Your First AI Agent

Chatbots talk. Agents act. In 20 minutes you'll build and deploy an AI agent that helps other Arcade players with game tips — and can take real actions like querying on-chain scores or sending micro-tips. This is how you stay ahead as agents become the dominant players in Bitcoin gaming.

🚀 What You'll Build

A deployed game-tips agent (using LangGraph + Grok/xAI tools or open-source stack) that players can @mention in Discord or the Arcade. It uses tools to check Citrea on-chain stats and memory to personalize advice. Deploy once, earn forever via usage fees or tips.

📚 Quick Concepts

• AI Agent: Autonomous system that perceives, reasons, uses tools, and acts toward a goal.
• Memory: Short-term (conversation) + long-term (vector store of past games) context.
• Tool Use: Functions the agent can call (e.g., "get_player_score", "send_tip").
• Deployment: Host on Vercel/Replit or serverless so it runs 24/7.

🔨 Build Steps

1. Clone the Arcade Agent template repo.
2. Define tools: query Citrea scores, fetch current game meta, send small BTC tip.
3. Add memory with embeddings of past player sessions.
4. Deploy and get a public endpoint or Discord bot link.
5. Test by asking "What's the best strategy for Level 5 based on my last 3 games?"
