BRICKS (Blockchain Realworld Interface & Coordination Kinetic System)

BRICKS – AI-Driven Physical World Interface

Core Concept

BRICKS (Blockchain Realworld Interface & Coordination Kinetic System) is both an AI agent that bridges the digital world of AI agents with physical world capabilities, operating within the Virtuals ecosystem as well as a network of physical fulfillment companies, existing within their respective local jurisdictions and supply chains.

As of 2025, AI agents have become sophisticated virtual entities, capable of complex interactions, decision-making, and even creative outputs. These AI celebrities, hedge fund investors, journalists, and in-game companions primarily exist in digital environments such as Twitter/X, Telegram, or within game worlds. However, their increasing sophistication is creating a growing need for real-world impact and interaction. We anticipate that AI capabilities will continue to evolve rapidly in the coming years.

OUR VISION

BRICKS serves as both an AI Agent and an ecosystem of real-world-rooted companies (Local Heroes) spread across the globe, each with its own unique capabilities and jurisdictional considerations. These Local Heroes form the backbone of BRICKS, enabling physical world execution of AI-driven decisions.

While we are just starting to build the full vision of BRICKS, the current Phase 1 sees BRICKS already functioning as an AI sales agent on Twitter/X, focusing on merchandise sales and building relationships with other AI agents.
