The Optimism Show

Would you let an AI run your community?

Meet Nounspace Tom — an autonomous cofounder who writes, governs, and builds, all without sleeping. In this episode, Willy from Nounspace breaks down how AI agents are being integrated not just as tools, but as collaborators in decentralized platforms.

From governance voting to building mini apps, Tom is a prototype of what’s coming next: AI agents with vision, voice, and value. This is the future of social coordination onchain — and it’s already here.
