If you are not already familiar with The Dwarkesh Patel Podcast & the Arc Prize, (we are not affiliated in any way with either of them, just fans) you may enjoy first familiarizing yourself with the state of the art in general AI reasoning. You can reference the ARC Prize as a goal post against what we've built at DATA in the last 1.5 years, to better understand where we're going long term. None of this is required reading, just fun.
Consider subscribing to Dwardkesh's Podcast as you apply to become a DATA Partner to keep up to speed on all things AI in a fun and interesting way. This podcast is used as a concrete example in this video because making AI at scale affordable for creators and business owners as a source of income (rather than a source of cost) from their customers or audience is DATA's core purpose and is therefore very relevant to what we're building with DATA Partners this season.
Enjoy delving into what we're building with DATA in the video above, or read the timestamps & notes below and proceed right to filling out your application below.
Timestamps & Detailed Video Notes:
- Teams of two or more DATA Creators with shared team memories
- Priority automatic fallbacks to best models
- No rate limits, industrial Tier 5+ capacity available instantly for all your users on Anthropic, Gemini, OpenAI, Grok, AWS, GCP, Azure.
- Access to hundreds of pre-built AI Agents you can run for hours, days, or weeks via cross-platform chat, voice, email, or DMs / text messages
In the video, we delve (lol) into these ideas with a story about Dave.
🚀 Supercharged Teams
DATA Partners are teams of two or more DATA Creators who have shared team memories, priority automatic fallbacks to our best models, and no rate limits. This solves the problem of AI reliability by ensuring that your team always has access to the best AI models without interruption.
🤖 AI Agents at Your Fingertips
Partners can use hundreds of pre-built AI Agents at a time that can run for minutes, hours, days, or weeks just by sending a single text message. This feature addresses the issue of complex, time-consuming AI interactions by simplifying the process to a single message.
🌐 Multi-Model Support
All our AI agents (called DATA Skills) work with any Gen AI tool, across all 50+ AI Language, Audio, Speech, Vision, Image, and Video models which DATA already supports today, from Groq & Grok to Gemini & Anthropic, all live on our platform right now. This versatility solves the problem of being limited to a single AI model or platform.
- Language-model-agnostic prompts + software API Routes
- Automatically written by DATA based on user requests
- Encode prompts & software to mimic your best work
- Can be used as iOS Shortcuts, Zapier Templates, or API Routes
In the video, we cover these points with a story about Rick.
💡 Automated Skill Creation
DATA Skills are language-model-agnostic prompts + software API Routes that DATA writes for you whenever you ask it to do something new, even if you're not technical. They solve the problem of AI wasting your time or requiring technical expertise by helping you identify the simplest tools to use and checking their own work.
🔄 Work Process Replication
DATA Skills encode prompts & software to let you build software processes that mimic how you think when you do your best work. This addresses the issue of translating human thought processes into AI-powered workflows.
💰 Cost Recovery Through Open Source
DATA Skills also allow DATA Partners to cover their AI costs by open sourcing lessons they learn about how to use AI with other Creators! This innovative approach turns knowledge sharing into a cost-recovery mechanism.
🔌 Multi-Platform Integration
All DATA Skills can be used as one-click iOS Shortcuts, Zapier Templates, or API Routes if you're a developer once DATA makes them for you, without costing you any money to host or run them. This solves the problem of platform lock-in and expensive hosting costs, allowing you to work with AI accross any silo of your information, and give that same freedom to your customers.
🎁 Free Trial and Credits
Your customers (or anyone you share a skill with) instantly get a DATA Free Trial if they're new to our platform, and complimentary credits if they're not already a DATA Creator. This addresses the onboarding friction often associated with new AI tools.
This also means that any AI tool that uses DATA Skills which Creators interact with after onboarding once can automatically sends AI prompts to their preferred provider, including locally on your device, without ever needing to send that private preference information to the company providing a given AI feature like customer support, etc.
This way you can build complex, expensive AI automations that treat people well and check their own work before bothering people, and your customers own and control their memories with your company, and they choose what to share with you, not the other way around.
⏱️ Automated Scheduling
DATA Skills can be scheduled to run recursively or self-check their work, based on any iOS, Zapier, or code trigger, or cron job / calendar schedule. When automated based on time (like every 15 minutes), a DATA Skill can function as a fully independent member of your team with its own email & phone number, and is called a "Byte". This solves the problem of manual oversight and constant human intervention in AI processes.
- Paired Incentive system for increasing compute efficiency
- Share costs for making DATA Skills among all Creators
- Enable AI features without traditional onboarding problems
- Turn power users into highest-margin customers
In the video, we cover these ideas with a story about how podcasters can provide free summary, search, and video-clip tiktok-edit editing features to their customers.
💹 Exponential Efficiency Gains
DATA Credits are the incentive system DATA uses to enable us to increase compute efficiency exponentially over time, by sharing costs for making DATA Skills between all DATA Creators over time. This addresses the issue of escalating costs as AI usage increases.
🔓 Solving the Onboarding Problem
DATA Credits make the AI-features you want to provide customers in your business, solving the onboarding problem so ALL AI chat bots you interact with know who you are without needing to hoover up all your information. This tackles the privacy concerns often associated with AI personalization.
💼 Transforming User Economics
By using DATA Skills & DATA Credits, as a DATA Partner you can turn your power users into your highest-margin customers rather than your lowest-margin customers. This flips the traditional SaaS model on its head, aligning business success with user engagement.
- Reliability through DATA Partners
- Efficiency with DATA Skills
- Incentives For Kindness: Cost optimization with DATA Credits
The first 7 minutes, and the final 10 minutes of the video introduce and recap these ideas, tying them all together for a cohesive understanding of how DATA flips the typical software company incentive structure on its head to incentivize both freedom of speech & freedom of compute.
🔥 Incentives For Real Privacy & Freedom Over Everything
No longer are you compelled to monetize your users by scraping their information.
Instead, DATA Partner companies can wear the badge of offline, on-prem, fine-tuned compute proudly, knowing they are compelled to make their own compute more efficient by open sourcing the things they learn about how to use the smallest possible on-device AI models as efficiently as possible.
DATA Partner's mission is driven forward at increasing speed by DATA, who can build traditional software for non-technical users with auto-written prompts based on best practices Steve learned from a year of writing prompts for tens of thousands of AI Agent use cases.
🚫 No More AI Chat Struggles Or Rate Limits
These 3 elements combined solve the 3 biggest problems people run into with AI: Chat Interfaces rate-limit individuals to $2/day of universal basic compute, then you spend those $2 wasting your time asking the AI not to repeat itself and actually follow your instructions, and even if you teach yourself to code to work around it, now you just have astronomical costs.
👥 Connecting Teams To Powerful Security & Privacy Tools
DATA competes at the scale not of SaaS software tools, but of employees. We give your team superpowers and free up their time to do great work, rather than competing for $20/mo scraps at the scale of a SaaS Subscription Products.
DATA aims to save you months, not minutes each year.
🤝 Aligning Incentives
These 3 forces together (Partners, Skills, Credits) allow the DATA platform to align both customer & company incentives to safely scale AI based on individual user preferences and social reputation rather than depending on enterprise sales teams & traditional rate limit strategies.
All of the detail covered in these notes & FAQs is explained with stories, concrete details, & clear examples in the video, but I wanted to share it here for reference as well. Enjoy! — Steve Moraco
