Open sourcing CUI Toolkit and IP
Botanic Technologies™, one of the founding partners of SEED Token, is open-sourcing its CUI toolkit to create an open, independent platform. Botanic Technologies (a company that boasts clients including Fortune 100s, startups and government agencies) is open-sourcing its otherwise proprietary IP to create an open-source CUI development platform with existing, best-in-class tools. This includes its: • Prized CUI frameworks • Protocols • Data structures • Personality templates • Key Patents • Source code for tools • Key middleware for managaing APIs and services
Without SEED, the CUI and AI industries will grow slowly and be dominated by the biggest corporations. Without a common medium of communication and value exchange, the industry’s growth will be slower and will make it so that only the biggest corporations can effectively create and deploy sophisticated CUIs at scale. For example, it this were the case for websites and HTML, back in the late 1990s, the Web and eCommerce would not have taken-off as rapidly as it did. We believe SEED is the only way to create a more equitable, distributed, and democratic Internet in a future where AI is vastly more prevalent than today.
From day one, Botanic (through Seed Vault Ltd.) will ‘seed’ the network with free to use IP and work to compensate existing open source CUI communities to do the same in order to grow the platform’s usefulness. The foundation will also fund development projects that further enhance the tools available to the community. One aim of this project is to create a platform with the best tools and the least barriers to CUI creation (in both engineering and business terms), for developers.
