Grok/perplexity for Farcaster (https://tinyurl.com/amp-hypersub)

/amp is changing. I'm rethinking from the ground up what /amp should be about. right now it's many things - limited reddit client, semantic search engine, topic-based news aggregator, farcaster LLM. in the coming weeks I will be re-orienting amp to help creators grow and engage their audiences better.

Initial thoughts:
Used Hivemind to catch myself up on the biggest launches from the week I was off the grid. What would you like to see next for Hivemind?
we crossed 1K followers! ⚡️ - a huge milestone for /amp 🔥
thank you to everyone who is following my progress in building unique experiences on top of Farcaster. here is a quick celebration of what we achieved in the last few months:

🚀 launched 4 products: amp, f/oogle search, user search, farcaster news and hivemind AI, each building on top of a growing powerful indexing infrastrucutre

📈 10k total unique people tried amp
🔑 675 signed in and minted a signer
💸 $650 in revenue from Hivemind AI that will be re-invested into growing it!

i'm building /amp solo and without any funding, so your support means a lot and keeps me going - I'm really grateful to everyone who's using the products and giving me feedback to make things better.

thank you for the wild ride so far 🙏
now, back to work 🫡

A huge thank you to my subscribers who supported /amp via @hypersub 🙌

I launched on Hypersub a month ago. I didn't have any concrete plan for what value I was going to provide, but I did it anyway, as a forcing function to get me to think seriously about /amp as a business in the near-term. Fast forward one month and I've landed a paid product with real revenue!

Although I have been in the startup game for a few years now, this is the first time I've made revenue on one of my products - a huge personal milestone for me, all thanks to this community 💯

So what's next for /amp gold?

I'm now more motivated than ever to keep landing features and growing Amp and Hivemind, with a focus on premium features. All subscription revenue + Moxie rewards earned by these posts will be reinvested in scaling the ambition of the underlying indexing and AI infrastructure as well as the product itself. Want to support me? You can do so on @hypersub or you can just like my posts.

Let's ship something great together 🚀

Get inspired.

Moxie has notoriously complicated tokenomics 🤔

Here's an example research session, drawing on information from hundreds of relevant casts about Moxie to dive deep into the specifics of the tokenomics and the deployed contract using Hivemind AI 🔎

Join 15+ early /amp gold backers on @hypersub to try it out! ⚡️

Amp is one of the coolest clients out there. Clients that want to capture users should probably be as orthogonal to Warpcast as possible.

Awesome soft-launch for Hivemind yesterday ⚡️ Thank you to the 10+ new subs trying out the app via @hypersub! Your support means a lot, and I'm excited to keep shipping features to make this the dopest way to catch up on things happening on Farcaster.

On that note - you can now ask Hivemind for news from the last day 📅 Here's an example below. Next up, I'll be working to make the results more accurate and informative.

Been playing around with Hivemind nonstop for 3+ hours now. Attempts to explain what it is and what you can do with it:

- it's like GPT that understands everything happening on Farcaster
- on-demand summaries of any discussed topic across the network
- a blazing-fast way to survey user opinions on major events on the network
- fast search for specific information (e.g. Moxie contract address)
- the farcaster graph as a surfable knowledge base

launching the first /amp gold feature 🚀
sneak peek: "hivemind" 🐝 🧠 (final name tbd)

It's like Perplexity or Grok, but leveraging Farcaster data. You can ask it anything, and get an answer with casts as sources. This is the natural evolution of Amp search and Amp news.

i like this new homepage design for ampcast. i think it would be better without the ai-summarized paragraphs at the top. just a headline and the actual casts would do the trick.

playing around with an alternative landing page for news 👀
/amp
Farcaster News (https://ampcast.xyz/news )a fully autonomous and decentralised newspaper ⚡️

Decentralised = you generate and curate the content by creating and engaging with casts. My AI algorithm filters the popular casts each day and groups similar ones into stories - you control the output of this algorithm.

Autonomous = grouping and story writing is done by AI with zero human intervention. Every story references sources directly.

As more qDAUs post more interesting content, so will the stories get more interesting. As the network reaches higher throughput - a new newspaper can be generated and distributed hourly rather than daily.

I subscribed 6 months to support @nt and @ampcast. It is also my commitment and desire to contribute to the development of @ampcast.

Love the Farcaster news, Foogle and the vision of treat-small-users-as-same-as-top-caster. Let’s make a great summer @nt!

P/s: I dreamed about something like Farcaster news layer, that why I made /buzz channel and @cnews bot. @ampcast is just simply outstanding.
small design update for Farcaster News 🎨

In the last month, Amp indexed 30,000 casts - all searchable with f/oogle 🔍

I think I found a viable way of indexing ~4m new root casts that land on the network every month to create the most powerful semantic search for any social network, enabling a plethora of new experiences on top of Farcaster.

Will be building in this direction over the summer and beyond 🫡
