Introducing findabuilder

11/6/2024

Today, I’m excited to introduce findabuilder — an AI-enhanced search interface for discovering builders through their Talent Protocol passports. Built at the intersection of natural language processing and web3 identity, findabuilder makes Talent Protocol's builder data more accessible through conversational queries.

Current Capabilities

findabuilder currently supports three main types of queries:

1. Score-based Builder Search

"find the best builders with score >140"

Perfect for discovering top-rated builders based on their Talent Protocol scores.

2. Name-based Search

"find thescoho"

Directly search for specific builders by their name.

3. Passport ID Search

"find passport 794066"

Look up detailed builder profiles including their social handles using Talent Protocol passport IDs.

How It Works: Under the Hood

findabuilder leverages two key APIs to deliver its functionality:

1. Galadriel AI Integration

The system uses Galadriel's LLM capabilities to:

  • Parse natural language queries into structured search parameters

  • Extract key information like:

    • Builder names

    • Minimum score requirements

    • Passport IDs

  • Convert user intent into API-compatible requests

2. Talent Protocol API

The platform relies heavily on Talent Protocol's API to:

  • Fetch comprehensive builder profiles

  • Access verified credentials

  • Retrieve social connections

  • Get builder scores across multiple dimensions:

    • Activity score

    • Identity score

    • Skills score

    • Overall builder score

Key Features

1. Smart Query Processing

  • Natural language understanding

  • Automatic parameter extraction

  • Query type detection

2. Rich Profile Cards

  • Comprehensive score breakdown

  • Location information

  • Connected social profiles

  • Verified credentials

  • Project tags and skills

3. Real-time Results

  • Instant profile loading

  • Dynamic score visualization

  • Interactive social links

Important Note: Talent Protocol Dependency

findabuilder requires builders to have an existing Talent Protocol passport. This is a fundamental requirement as all builder data is sourced directly from Talent Protocol's API.
