AI Assistant (experimental)
The AI Assistant is an early experimental feature. Behavior, pricing, and limits may change as we iterate.
The AI Assistant is an in-app agent that helps you research, build, and operate on-chain strategies — paid for natively in $BORING, spent directly from your Sleep Pod.
Although it lives inside SuperBoring, the Assistant is not SuperBoring-only. Out of the box it can interact with any protocol whose smart contracts are verified — including Aave, Uniswap, Morpho, Superfluid, Lido, and others. We plan to open a curated, community-driven repository of protocol skills so anyone can add new integrations over time.
What you can do with it
- Chat — ask questions about markets, protocols, your positions, and any verified on-chain contract.
- Strategy compilation — describe a strategy in natural language; the Assistant produces an executable plan.
- Strategy execution — opt into running a compiled strategy. The Assistant evaluates it periodically and acts on your behalf, across whichever protocols it spans.
How you pay for it
The Assistant is metered in $BORING. You spend $BORING from your Sleep Pod to enable the feature and to use it — that's the only currency you need to think about.
Your Daily AI Balance
Once enabled, your usage is tracked as a Daily AI Balance: a quota that refills every day. The UI surfaces it as four numbers:
- Consumed — how much of today's capacity you've already used.
- Capacity — your remaining daily ceiling (after any strategy-execution lock).
- Strategy execution lock — capacity reserved for active strategies (see below).
- Pending — capacity tentatively held while a strategy compilation is in flight.
UI format: consumed / capacity / strategy (pending).
0/100/0 (0) ← fresh day: nothing used yet
30/100/0 (0) ← after chatting: 30 consumed of 100 daily capacity
30/80/0 (20) ← started compiling a strategy: 20 held as pending
30/75/5 (0) ← compile succeeded: pending cleared, 5/day now locked for execution, ceiling drops to 75
0/75/5 (0) ← next day: capacity refilled, 5 will be consumed by the strategy's daily ticks
The Daily AI Balance refills every day — it is a usage quota, not a withdrawable balance. You cannot move it out, swap it, or convert it back to $BORING.
Strategy execution: how the lock works
When a strategy is enabled, the Assistant reserves a slice of your daily capacity equal to:
sum( per-execution price × executions per day ) for every active strategy
That sum is the strategy execution lock. It comes out of your daily ceiling — so a strategy that needs 5 credits/day reduces your effective ceiling from 100 to 95.
Disabling or deleting a strategy releases its locked credits immediately, and your daily ceiling goes back up.
Strategy compilation: pending vs. locked
Compiling a strategy is a flat fee. Here's the lifecycle:
- Start compiling → the flat fee is held as Pending on top of your existing usage.
- Compilation succeeds → the pending amount is removed from your daily ceiling and the strategy's execution lock kicks in (based on the strategy's frequency × per-execution price).
- Compilation fails or stalls past the timeout → the pending amount is released back into your daily capacity, no charge.
Pricing rules
Only three numbers are meant to be user-facing. All are tunable by SuperBoring governance as we iterate.
| Rule | What it does |
|---|---|
| AI enablement cost | The amount of $BORING you spend from your Sleep Pod to switch the Assistant on. Early SuperBoring adopters may be exempt. |
| Daily chat quota | The size of your daily AI Balance — i.e. how much non-strategy chat you can do per day. |
| Strategy compile cost | The flat fee charged on a successful compilation (held as Pending while compiling). |
Smart-contract surface
The on-chain footprint of the AI Assistant is intentionally minimal:
- Spending $BORING: the Sleep Pod sends $BORING to the treasury address. No custom logic — just a plain transfer.
Metering, daily balances, strategy locks, and compilation state all live off-chain in the SuperBoring backend. The on-chain treasury balance does not represent your usable AI capacity.
What's next
- A curated, community-driven protocol-skills repository so anyone can teach the Assistant about new verified contracts.
- More built-in skills for the protocols mentioned above (Aave, Uniswap, Morpho, Superfluid, Lido).
- Per-strategy and per-skill telemetry in the UI.
