Alumni Ventures Invests in Theoriq’s Specialized AI Agent Marketplace

ChainML is developing Theoriq, a protocol and marketplace for AI agents designed to work collaboratively to achieve better results for users. Unlike monolithic AI models from major tech companies, ChainML envisions a diverse ecosystem where specialized agents, created by developers and entrepreneurs, work together seamlessly to enhance both consumer and business applications.

Founder and CEO Ron Bodkin brings a wealth of experience to Theoriq and ChainML, having worked in the AI space for over 15 years. From his early entrepreneurial endeavors to his roles at Quantcast, Teradata, and Google, Bodkin has been a significant figure in AI innovation. His commitment to democratizing AI and preventing monopolistic control by a few large companies has been the driving force behind Theoriq by ChainML.

“We believe in the power of specialized AI agents working together to accomplish tasks more efficiently than ever before,” said Bodkin, who recently discussed his company on AV’s Tech Optimist podcast. “Our goal is to create an open ecosystem where developers can build and deploy agents that cater to specific needs, fostering innovation and democratizing access to AI technology.”

ChainML has made substantial progress, including the development of an open-source framework for AI agents and successful deployments with clients like Space and Time, a database company. The company is preparing for its first test launch next month, with plans for a broader release later in the summer. Collaborations with Web3 companies such as the Filecoin Foundation and Zero G underscore ChainML’s commitment to creating practical, impactful AI solutions.

“We see tremendous potential in Theoriq to drive significant advancements in various industries,” said AV Founder and CEO Mike Collins, who hosted the conversation with Bodkin on AV’s Tech Optimist podcast. “We’re proud to support Ron and ChainML as they develop an open, collaborative AI ecosystem.”
