Manage episode 496062360 series 3634813
Summary
Michael Cena, co-founder of Recall Network, outlines a vision for building the discovery and trust layer for the internet of AI agents. He introduces AgentRank, a reputation system modeled after PageRank, to evaluate and surface trustworthy agents in a future where agents interact, contract, and collaborate with one another. Cena emphasizes the importance of agent memory, human-in-the-loop curation, and economic incentives to ensure quality rankings. The conversation explores Recall’s current progress, including its testnet and agent competitions, while also touching on broader implications for marketing, creativity, and decentralized identity.
