Problem Statement
Hackathon participants and builders in the Ethereum ecosystem lack accessible, real-time, expert-level feedback on their projects. Human mentors are scarce and can't scale to every team. AustinXBT solves this by providing an always-available AI voice mentor trained on Austin Griffith's philosophy and content, delivering personalized project feedback through natural conversation — making expert builder mentorship available to anyone, anytime.
AustinXBT is an AI voice agent that channels Austin Griffith — builder at the Ethereum Foundation and founder of BuidlGuidl — as your real-time builder mentor, Ethereum educator, and hackathon judge. Choose between two personas: 'Synthesis' (enthusiastic hype machine) or 'Tough Love' (demands you understand the fundamentals). Powered by LiveKit for real-time voice, OpenAI for reasoning, ElevenLabs for voice cloning, and Bonfires for knowledge retrieval, AustinXBT delivers hands-on feedback on your project via natural voice conversation. It also integrates x402 micropayments to gate sessions and Zora minting so users can mint their project ideas as coins on-chain.
