Problem
AI usage is exploding—yet the most valuable insights are disappearing.
$1B is spent monthly on AI tools.(*)
600M creators, researchers, and developers invest hours into experimentation daily. (*)
Their findings are posted on social media or shared informally, creating zero long-term value.
Meanwhile, AI companies rely on users as unpaid red teams and product testers, profiting from techniques that originated in the community.
Examples:
A developer jailbreaks a language model → reports it for free.
An artist finds a unique image prompt combination → shares it for likes.
A researcher crafts a new chain-of-thought pattern → publishes it with no ownership.
The system exploits creative labor—and misses the opportunity to build a decentralized, crowd-powered AI improvement layer. *2025: The State of Consumer AI
