[Task] AI Agent Internal Hackathon Project Josh

[thisisjoshford]

Background

As mentioned in #508, we are hosting an internal AI hackathon to test and provide feedback for NEAR AI in preparation for upcoming public hackathon events.

User Story

As a developer testing out a new AI platform, I expect a frictionless onboarding experience with accurate documentation and easy-to-follow steps. I expect the software to be up-to-date and work as expected.

Acceptance Criteria

• Think of an idea for creating a new AI agent
• Create AI agent and publish to app.near.ai
• Provide feedback from the development process in a google doc
• Submit any issues or useful feature requests in the near-ai repo

After building and deploying a few agents I made some improvements to the initial onboarding.

First was making some improvements to the verbose printouts to the end user so they were easier to understand:

• feat: format verbose printed statements nearai/nearai#709

Then made a new onboarding flow that introduced prompts and a more professional UI :)

• feat: easy agent creation nearai/nearai#723
