Today, Alchemy, a platform for blockchain developers, unveiled AlchemyAI, a set of tools that will use AI to aid web3 developers in accelerating the development of their products and gaining speedier access to on-chain data.Over the coming weeks, two flagship products for AlchemyAI, ChatWeb3 and Alchemy ChatGPT Plugin, will be made accessible.Alchemy is the latest cryptocurrency company to reveal plans to use large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT on blockchains with the release of their new AI suite.
According to Arjun Patel, product manager at Alchemy, “more non-technical people are going to be able to get into web3″ as a result of AI.“How can we make it easier for people to get into the industry?” is the concept of web3, in my opinion.The AI chatbot ChatWeb3, which is still in beta testing, is powered by ChatGPT. In order to assist Web3 developers in creating software more quickly and with fewer difficulties, Alchemy claims that the tool was trained on more than 1000 Alchemy manuals and other cryptographic resources.
Alchemy wrote in a blog post that “With AI assistance, web3 developers can tap into a vast array of predefined code snippets, templates, and best practices, reducing the time spent on repetitive tasks.”Developers will be able to use ChatWeb3 like a partner in pair programming, Elan Halpern, a product manager at Alchemy, told CoinDesk.
Alchemy created a separate ChatGPT plugin that is accessible through OpenAI’s Plugin Marketplace in addition to its in-app AI helper.Alchemy stated in a blog post that its plugin “allows developers and non-developers alike to get real-time blockchain information through natural language using Alchemy API endpoints.”
Currently, this plugin can retrieve data from a number of various blockchains, including Optimism, Polygon, Ethereum, Arbitrum, and Ethereum.The tool will soon be expanded to include all of Alchemy’s supported chains, according to Alchemy.
