> "*How do you even say DeFAI - De-Faaiii ... ugh, can't we call it 'Agentic Finance' ?" - Josh (Applied AI Expert at aDrop.ai)*

Here you are on another whitepaper website. Seeking opportunities and ideas, there are some things you know and  some things you don't. So let's get to it. 

## <mark style="background-color:green;">Our Story</mark>

In 2023-2024 airdrops distributed a LOT of value, and they still do. But it was like a full-time job trying get them!

We started by building a comprehensive library of [DeFi Automations](https://epoch-2.gitbook.io/adrop.ai/defi-automations)  - think 'recipes' for all the complex on-chain actions in the space - Swaps, liquidity providing, trading, staking, lending, minting, voting, etc.  It was a lot of work  - but now we had a systematic way to automate all these blockchain interactions - before any 'AI Agents'. \
\
From that crucial bedrock, we built a platform to organize, simplify, and gamify airdrop hunting.&#x20;

## <mark style="background-color:purple;">Agents, AI and Automation</mark>&#x20;

In 2024 Large Language Models (LLMs) developed at a wild pace. They are poised to truly revolutionize every corner of our economy. Specifically, the development of **agents;** systems built around AI models that can act autonomously to chain together complex tasks. &#x20;

Agents require careful design and great tools to have real utility. \
\
**Tools** allow AI models to complete far more complex tasks. This is because rather than doing all the heavy lifting, they orchestrates existing systems and code, that does all the niche complex work, allowing the agent to focus on making intelligent decisions - just like a (good) manager.

## Remember those [DeFi Automations](https://epoch-2.gitbook.io/adrop.ai/defi-automations)?
