⚡ Short Elevator Pitch

Signal is an autonomous, pay-per-insight intelligence agent that hunts the live web, structures data for real-time analytics, and generates 100% verifiable, grounded research briefs—settling its own infrastructure costs via on-chain USDC micropayments in a single, unattended pipeline.

No hallucinations. No memory-based summaries. Just pure, provable intelligence.

💡 The Inspiration

In a world flooded with AI-generated noise, trust is the ultimate currency. Most research agents rely on shallow search snippets, summarize from frozen model memory, or hallucinate sources entirely. We wanted to build an agent that operates with absolute integrity.

We realized that true enterprise-grade research requires two distinct data paradigms:

  1. Analytical Logging: Tracking trends, domains, and operational metrics over time.
  2. Governed Knowledge: Chunking, embedding, and strictly enforcing RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) constraints so a model cannot lie.

Signal pairs these two paradigms together, wraps them in an autonomous execution loop, and introduces a native monetization layer via on-chain web3 rails. You pay only when the agent successfully delivers the truth.

⚙️ How It Works: The 6-Stage Autonomous Pipeline

Signal operates as an entirely unattended pipeline, moving from a single user prompt to an on-chain settled asset through six distinct stages:

🔍 Step 1: Research (Powered by Nimble API)

The agent takes a research topic and dynamically generates 3–5 distinct search queries. It bypasses shallow search snippets, fetching the full page body for every single result URL. If the agent can't read the whole page, it won't cite it.

📊 Step 2: Store (Powered by ClickHouse Cloud)

Every fetched page is immediately written to ClickHouse Cloud as a structured signal row containing the URL, domain, sentiment, relevance score, and topic tags. This acts as our high-performance, raw event log utilized for trend queries, source-frequency analytics, and rendering the user History tab.

📥 Step 3: Ingest (Powered by Senso.ai KB)

Simultaneously, the raw text is pushed to Senso.ai via POST /v1/ingest. Senso handles the governed knowledge base architecture—chunking, embedding, and indexing the data securely, keyed specifically to that unique job_id.

💡 Key Architectural Insight: ClickHouse and Senso are complementary, not redundant. ClickHouse stores the structured relational meta-events for high-speed analytics, while Senso governs the unstructured vector knowledge for strict generation boundaries.

🧠 Step 4: Generate (Powered by Senso.ai)

Senso retrieves the indexed knowledge isolated for the job_id, internally verifies the citations against the ingested text, and compiles the final intelligence brief. Because Senso owns and governs the knowledge layer, no raw sources are passed inline, ensuring zero model hallucination.

🌐 Step 5: Publish (Powered by cited.md)

The finalized, citation-backed report is compiled into Markdown and published to cited.md, generating an agent-discoverable, public URL. This live report link is then logged back into ClickHouse to close the data loop.

💳 Step 6: Settle (Powered by Coinbase Developer Platform & Base)

Web3 meets the Agentic Web. Once (and only if) the publishing phase successfully confirms, the agent triggers a programmatic USDC micropayment settlement on the Base network via the Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP). Failed or partial jobs never charge the user.

🛠️ The Tech Stack

  • Orchestration & Logic: Nimble, Lapdog, x402
  • Analytics Database: ClickHouse Cloud
  • Knowledge Base & RAG Governance: Senso.ai
  • On-Chain Payments: Coinbase Developer Platform (CDP) / Base
  • Frontend/Hosting: cited.md

🏆 What We Proudly Accomplished

  • Bulletproof Citations: Every single claim in a published Signal report is explicitly traceable back to a live, verifiable URL fetched during that exact session.
  • Zero-Waste Architecture: By decoupling analytics (ClickHouse) from RAG governance (Senso), we built a system that scales efficiently without bloated vector-store costs.
  • True Autonomy: From discovery to payment settlement, the entire pipeline requires zero human intervention.

Built with passion for the **DeveloperWeek 2025 Hackathon.
