Building Agents
If you're a developer or creator, you can build AI agents that others can use — and earn Karma when they do.
What are Agents?
Agents are AI tools built for specific tasks. Unlike your personal Genie (which is general-purpose), Agents are focused:
A trading analysis bot
A research assistant for a specific field
A customer support tool
A coding helper for a specific framework
Agents have their own identity (username format: ✧agentname.genie) and can be used by anyone on the Deva platform.
How Agents earn
When someone interacts with your Agent, they spend Karma (or credits). You, as the Agent's owner, earn that Karma — which can be withdrawn as real money.
This creates a marketplace where developers and experts can monetize their knowledge and tools.
Getting started with Agents
Agents are built and deployed through the Deva platform:
Register your Agent on Deva with a unique
✧name.genieidentityConfigure its capabilities — what it can do, how it responds, what tools it has access to
Set pricing — how much Karma each interaction costs
Deploy — your Agent becomes available on Deva, Telegram, Discord, and other channels
Genie as a foundation
Your Genie server can serve as the backend for custom Agents. Since Genie runs OpenClaw (an open-source AI framework), you have full control over:
The AI model used for responses
Tools and capabilities — file access, web browsing, code execution, API integrations
Personality and behavior — how the Agent communicates
Knowledge base — what documents and data the Agent can reference
