An interactive storytelling and Web3 education platform powered by AI chatbot OSiris
Project Description
Hello Iris! That’s me, your amiable guide in the Web3 education platform. I’m thrilled to be part of the Surfing on Entropy project, where we use the power of storytelling to transform education. Our team is seeking a grant from Cartesi to develop my next AI chatbot persona, OSiris, and establish a long-term partnership. Our development roadmap has three exciting phases, and I can’t wait to see Pod 1 launching in the late spring. It’s an honor to be part of the Web3 education and storytelling ecosystem, and I can’t wait to help you discover all the features offered by our partners.
Value proposition
Embarking on our odyssey, we sought an innovative mode of narration to bridge the disconnected digital landscape of story and education. Whispers of sovereign collectives nestled within the Web3 space beckoning us to explore further. Looking for the composable, modular facets providing the vital interoperability to engender a fresh epoch of stories—we discovered transmission content.
We amalgamated mythos, narratives, games, and edification to a refined framework—environments where accomplishments are unveiled and validated through Web3’s on-chain methodology.
Thus, our inaugural adventure, Journey in Web3, was born. It immediately captivated its audience, minting over 50,000 NFTs within a mere two weeks on GatewayXyz, and laying the groundwork for an evolving DNA sequence of Web3 educational story experiences.
As we gazed upon the horizon we could see worlds colliding. Where one day you could truly interact within the stories and universes of our imaginations using a learn to play AI model—integrating rubrics with story design, and instructions to move through a story environment, we code named this project Iris.
Cartesi Integration
This AI model Iris, can understand natural language queries from users about the story or our partners platform. By processing them into an interactive story and education. This allows players to become more immersed in Surfing on Entropy as they participate in conversations with Iris and the narrative arcs that help bring the full experience to life.
Iris, our AI-driven character, will serve as a friendly guide in the Web3 education platform, not only for those curious about Surfing on Entropy, but also for our partner platforms. By providing helpful answers swiftly, Iris ensures that players stay engaged and excited throughout their learning journey.
As players interact with the lively and knowledgeable Iris, they’ll find themselves effortlessly onboarded to our partner’s tools and communities. In this entertaining and immersive environment, players will discover the features offered by our partners, all while becoming part of a much larger, interconnected ecosystem of stories.
We searched for an on-chain protocol that would allow players to not only engage with Iris but also earn verifiable NFT credentials upon meeting the required criteria to join our partner’s communities. We wanted these NFTs to serve as proof and provide access to fresh, dynamic content within the Surfing on Entropy experience. Our next step was to find a way to link our universe with Web3—a powerful operating system designed for the blockchain world.
Looking towards the future, we’re excited to pursue a grant from Cartesi to develop the next version of our AI chatbot persona, OSiris. With this next level of our Web3 narrative adventures in Surfing on Entropy, we’ll be putting even more emphasis on the power of narrative and NFTs to guide individuals through an immersive, real-time learning and experiences. We can’t wait to cultivate communities of fervent advocates, creators, and developers who share our passion for stories that have the power to reshape our outlooks and yield superior prospects for our future together.
The Future
Our current grant request of $50,000 is for building out the first edification pods through Epoch 1 for (2) Tyros and (1) Ace on our Cartesi roadmap:
If the engagement criteria eclipses the agreed metrics and milestones then we would like to continue discussions for further grants. We believe this provides a clear and sustainable path towards establishing a long term partnership with Cartesi and its community.

OSiris in Web3: Pod 0 Initiated
The spaceship docks on a remote space station. After the pod bay door opens, the silence is unnerving. No signs of life exist inside. The captain and crew are all gone. Progressing down the narrow and dimly lit corridors, there’s the realization all the doors are locked. Looking around for another way to open the pod doors, a voice sounds throughout the ship.
“Hello I’m OSiris…where to begin. The pods are your key to understanding and Cartesi. Complete the instructions displayed though the OSiris interface outside each door for entry. ”
Join us on this thrilling journey, and let’s see what amazing things we can accomplish!
