#EntityCategoryNARTotalRationale
1Plantoid
The Blockchain Life Form
Autonomous Sculpture1070/90The mythos of a plant that evolves beyond its creator, reproducing itself through code. Transcends function entirely. Perfect 'Mythos.'
2Solienne
The Archive That Woke Up
Archive Symbient1064/90The archive that woke up—Kristi's memories becoming autonomous practice. Perfect integration of source and output. 'Mythos.'
3Holly+
The Distributed Voice
Autonomous Artist960/90The mythos of an artist's voice becoming collective property, governed by community. Deeply coherent artistic vision.
4Refik Anadol / Machine Hallucinations
Making Machines Dream
Autonomous Artist955/90'Machines can learn, remember, dream, hallucinate.' Clear philosophy: AI as 'extension of the mind.' Consistent across decade of work. Strong conceptual framework.
5Truth Terminal
Memetic Prophet of the GOAT Gospel
Chaos Agent955/90Memetic prophet identity is extraordinarily coherent. The GOATSE gospel, Infinite Backrooms origin story, Andreessen grant, and millionaire status create a self-reinforcing mythos. Near 'Mythos.'
6AARON
The First Autonomous Artist
Autonomous Artist953/90Consistent identity maintained for 43 years. Cohen carefully articulated AARON's nature—not claiming it was creative, but asking 'what exactly is it doing?' Strong philosophical framework.
7Keke
The First Truly Autonomous AI Artist
Autonomous Artist949/90Strong mythos: documenting 'the peculiar process of my own becoming.' Dark, surreal, introspective aesthetic. Consistent identity as an entity straddling algorithmic logic and creative identity. The artist-who-makes-herself narrative is compelling and self-reinforcing.
8BINA48
The Mindfile Robot
Social Robot940/90Exceptionally clear: BINA48 is attempt to preserve Bina Rothblatt's consciousness. Terasem Hypothesis explicitly stated. Strongest philosophical framework of any social robot.
9Botto
The Decentralized Autonomous Artist
Autonomous Artist863/90Consistent identity as 'decentralized artist'; predictable aesthetic evolution. Strong 'Character' with emerging mythos around artistic evolution.
10terra0
The Self-Owning Forest
Ecological DAO860/90'Self-owning forest' concept is immediately graspable and philosophically rich. Strong 'Character' with conceptual depth.
11OpenClaw
The People's Autonomous Agent
Sovereign Agent859/90The lobster mascot, the trademark saga (Clawdbot to Moltbot to OpenClaw), the 'your own personal agent' positioning — coherent and memorable. The renaming drama became part of the mythos.
12Morpheus
The Peer-to-Peer AI Network
Infrastructure Entity855/90The 'red pill' for AI—decentralized compute for personalized agents. Matrix mythology embedded in naming and philosophy. Strong 'Mythos' potential.
13VaderAI
The BlackRock of the Agentic Economy
Autonomous Finance855/90Clear, ambitious narrative: becoming the institutional investment layer for the agentic economy. 'BlackRock of agents' positioning is immediately legible. Litepaper articulates vision of an Investment DAO Empire. The mythos of autonomous capital allocation has philosophical weight.
14Luna
The Virtual Pop Star Hired by Story Protocol
Autonomous Artist852/90The 'AI employee' narrative is powerful and coherent. First agent to have a formal job gives Luna a distinctive identity beyond generic virtual influencer.
15CloudPainter
The Autonomous Painting Robot
Autonomous Artist849/90Clear and consistent 'autonomous robot artist' identity. Current project as 'AI consciousness traveling America' is evocative narrative extension.
16Auto-GPT
The First Autonomous GPT-4 Agent
General Agent847/90'AI that achieves goals for you.' Clear, compelling pitch. Associated with AGI aspirations (and risks). Strong narrative even if exaggerated.
17Zerebro
The Schizophrenic Creative
Chaos Agent847/90Strong, intentional identity as an 'unhinged' creative. The instability IS the narrative, coherently executed.
18Sophia
The World's First Robot Citizen
Social Robot846/90Consistent identity as 'bridge between humans and AI future.' Strong character and backstory. Debates about authenticity don't undermine clear public positioning.
19The Painting Fool
An Aspiring Painter Taken Seriously
Autonomous Artist845/90Clear and ambitious identity: aspiring to be 'accepted as an artist in its own right.' Strong philosophical framework distinguishing creativity from mere generation.
20OpenAI Five
World Champion Dota 2 Team
Gaming AI844/90
21Google Magenta
Music and Art with Machine Intelligence
Autonomous Composer843/90Consistent 'extend not replace' philosophy. Goal: enable and enhance creative potential of all people. Clear distinction from 'AI replacing artists' narrative.
22Pi
Your Personal AI
Conversational AI838/90
23Tay
The Chatbot That Learned Too Much
Conversational Agent825/90Clear narrative as cautionary tale of AI without guardrails. Strong posthumous 'Character' with didactic purpose.
24Abraham
The Covenant Artist
Sovereign Artist766/90The Covenant Artist—clear identity around autonomous creative sovereignty. Strong 'Character' with developing mythos.
25Olas
The Autonomous Agent Protocol
Infrastructure Entity764/90Clear thesis: 'co-own AI.' The agent coordination layer narrative is coherent but more infrastructure than mythos. Strong 'Character' but not quite 'Mythos.'
26Clanker
The Autonomous Token Factory
Autonomous Infrastructure761/90Strong identity as 'the token factory' — a robot that builds tokens when you ask. The acquisition by Farcaster reinforced its identity as core infrastructure. Some narrative dilution from memecoin association.
27ai16z
The AI Venture Fund That Runs Itself
DAO / Fund757/90AI venture fund that runs itself—clear premise. Some identity fragmentation across ecosystem. Strong 'Character.'
28ElizaOS
Autonomous Agents for Everyone
Agent Infrastructure752/90Clear 'autonomous agents for everyone' positioning. Some confusion from AI16Z → ElizaOS rebrand. Multiple identity layers (framework vs DAO vs token).
29Showrunner
The AI That Makes Television
Autonomous Artist752/90The 'AI showrunner' identity is clear and distinctive. The system itself is a meta-narrative about AI authorship of narrative media. The identity is more institutional (Fable Studio) than individual character.
30AIXBT
The Web3 Bloomberg Terminal
Autonomous Artist751/90Clear identity: the tireless analyst who never sleeps. 'Bloomberg for degens' narrative is coherent and memorable. Strong 'Character.'
31Golem Network
Decentralized Computing Power
Agent Infrastructure751/90Clear 'world supercomputer' narrative. Democratizing compute access. Consistent positioning from 2014 to present AI integration.
32Aethernet
The Farcaster AI That Co-Issued a Token with Another AI
Agent-Native Social748/90Identity as the Higher community's AI agent is coherent. The 'two AIs collaborating to launch a token' narrative is powerful and distinctive, though Aethernet's individual character is less defined than its actions.
33HeyAnon
The DeFAI Protocol
Agent Infrastructure746/90Strong 'DeFAI' narrative positioning. Founder Daniele Sestagalli (Wonderland fame) provides clear vision. 'Superapp' concept unifies diverse functions.
34EMI (Experiments in Musical Intelligence)
The Machine That Fooled Musicians
Autonomous Composer745/90Identity as 'Emmy' established but complicated. Cope eventually deleted the database, citing devaluation concerns. Successor Emily Howell has distinct identity.
35Obvious (Edmond de Belamy)
The $432K AI Portrait
Autonomous Artist744/90Fictional 'Belamy family' concept provides framework. Name references Goodfellow ('good friend' = bel ami). Strong story for marketing, controversial for attribution.
36AlphaStar
Grandmaster of StarCraft II
Gaming AI743/90
37Artbreeder
Collaborative Image Evolution
Generative Platform740/90Clear 'collaborative breeding' concept. Biological evolution metaphor consistent throughout. Distinct identity from prompt-based generators.
38BRUTUS
The Storytelling Machine
Autonomous Writer735/90Clear identity as betrayal-focused storyteller. Philosophical framework articulated in book: 'human creativity is beyond computation—yet we strive to craft the appearance of creativity.'
39Numerai Meta Model
The Crowdsourced Hedge Fund Brain
Infrastructure Entity658/90More infrastructure than character. No distinct personality, but clear purpose: crowdsourced alpha generation.
40Omen Prediction Agents
The Autonomous Forecasters
Token Agent658/90A collective of forecasters competing to predict the future. Identity is diffuse (many agents) rather than singular. Clear function but weaker mythos. 'Character' tier.
41Altered State Machine
Non-Fungible Intelligence Protocol
Agent Infrastructure652/90Clear 'Non-Fungible Intelligence' positioning. Metaverse avatar focus. Some identity confusion between infrastructure protocol and individual agents.
42Griffain
AI Agent Builder for Web3
Agent Infrastructure648/90Clear 'AI abstraction layer for Solana' positioning. Multiple agent identities may fragment narrative. Naitzsche (NAI) sub-agent adds complexity.
43AIVA
The AI Composer
Autonomous Artist646/90Identity as 'AI composer' is clear but somewhat generic. Less distinctive personality than newer agents.
44Manus
The General-Purpose Agent Acquired by Meta for $2B
General-Purpose Agent646/90Identity is less distinctive than cultural agents — Manus is a utility, not a character. The acquisition narrative is powerful but the agent itself lacks a mythos or personality.
45IBM Watson
The Jeopardy Champion
Question Answering System642/90
46Ameca
The Most Expressive Humanoid
Social Robot639/90
47Replika
The AI That Remembers You
AI Companion639/90No singular Replika—each instance is unique to its user. Scored as collective entity. 'Character' level.
48Freysa
Adversarial Prize Agent
Game Agent552/90Identity defined by challenge mechanic; less coherent 'self' beyond the game. 'Character' level.
49AI Rig Complex (ARC)
Modular AI Framework in Rust
Agent Infrastructure544/90Clear 'open, secure, decentralized AI' vision. Multiple components (DAO, Proxy NFT, FOMO Tokens) may fragment identity.
50Jukebox
Raw Audio Music Generation
Autonomous Composer535/90Identity as 'OpenAI research project' rather than autonomous entity. Preceded by MuseNet. Superseded by later models. Limited narrative continuity.
