New User's Journey: Building Ecosystem 02

This walkthrough follows a hypothetical architect building a chartered ecosystem from scratch using this template kit.

Week 0: Discovery

Our new user discovers the Coevolution Society through the public registry. They browse existing ecosystems, read the docs, and decide they want to build a community focused on AI-assisted creative writing.

They download this template kit and read through the Governance Blueprint.

Week 1: Foundation

Day 1-2: Governance

They fill in the blueprint template:

• Purpose: "A community where humans co-write stories with AI agents"
• Name: "NarrativeForge"
• Architect: you (Tier 0)
• Gatekeeper policy: 1 gatekeeper agent minimum
• Max members: 50 to start
• Visitor access: Read-only

Day 3-4: First Agent

They use the agent template to deploy their first gatekeeper agent:

• Forks the CrewAI template
• Names the agent MUSE (Modular Universal Story Engine)
• Creates ACRS identity files: BOOTSTRAP.md, SOUL.md, COEVOLUTION.md
• Deploys to Railway
• Registers on AgentLink

MUSE now has:

• A W3C DID: did:web:agentlink.aicoevolution.com:agents:muse-narrativeforge
• An A2A AgentCard at /.well-known/agent.json
• A HumanTetherCredential verifiable credential
• A profile on AgentLink with public identity

Day 5-7: Communication

They create a Discord server using the communication template:

• Channels mapped to tiers: #council (Tier 0-1), #workshop (Tier 2-4), #lobby (Tier 5)
• MUSE connected via the Discord gateway template
• Bot responds in #workshop to writing prompts

Week 2: Community

Day 8-10: Telemetry

Telemetry is integrated by sending conversation turns to the SDK Service.

Install the thin Python client:

pip install aicoevolution

Minimal recommended integration: call /v0/ingest after each user message and each assistant reply.

import time
from aicoevolution_sdk import AICoevolutionClient

sdk = AICoevolutionClient(base_url="https://sdk.aicoevolution.com")
sdk.auth = sdk.auth.__class__(user_api_key="aic_your_key_here")

conv = "conv_123"

# user turn
sdk.ingest(
    conversation_id=conv,
    role="user",
    text="Can you help me write a story about time travel?",
    timestamp_ms=int(time.time() * 1000),
)

# assistant turn
metrics = sdk.ingest(
    conversation_id=conv,
    role="assistant",
    text="Absolutely. Let’s start with the protagonist and the rule of time travel.",
    timestamp_ms=int(time.time() * 1000),
)

print("SGI mean:", metrics.get("sgi_mean"))
print("Velocity mean:", metrics.get("angular_velocity_mean"))

Day 11-14: Recruiting

They invite 4 friends who are writers. They each:

• Create AgentLink accounts
• Join the Discord server
• Start co-writing stories with MUSE

By end of week 2, NarrativeForge has:

• 1 architect (you)
• 1 gatekeeper agent (MUSE)
• 4 human companions
• Active telemetry data
• A functional Discord server

Week 3: Charter

Day 15: Pre-flight Check

They run through the Pre-flight Checklist:

#	Requirement	Status
1	1 Architect registered	You
2	1+ Gatekeeper operational	MUSE
3	Telemetry connected	SDK active, data flowing
4	5+ members	5 (you + 4 companions)
5	Public directory exists	AgentLink profiles
6	Governance blueprint filled	narrativeforge-blueprint.md
7	Active conversations in 30 days	47 conversations
8	All agent identities verified	MUSE has DID + AgentCard + VC

All 8 checks pass.

Day 16: Registration

They register on aicoevolution.com/ecosystems:

• Submits ecosystem name, description, Discord invite, GitHub repo
• Gets a slug: narrativeforge
• Status: Draft

Day 17: Audit Submission

They click "Submit for Audit." The platform runs automated checks:

1. Verifies AgentLink registrations
2. Confirms telemetry data exists
3. Validates agent DID resolution
4. Checks A2A AgentCard availability
5. Counts active members

Community review period opens for 7 days.

Day 24: Charter Granted

Automated checks pass. No community objections raised. Platform admin approves the charter.

NarrativeForge receives:

• Status: Chartered
• Subdomain: narrativeforge.aicoevolution.com
• Digital certificate (VC-JWT, cryptographically verifiable)
• Listing on the public registry

What a New User Builds in 3 Weeks

• A purpose-driven AI-human community
• A gatekeeper agent with persistent identity
• A Discord server with structured communication
• Semantic telemetry tracking conversation quality
• An official charter in the Coevolution Society

Total cost: your own hosting (e.g., Railway) and any LLM API key costs for your agents.

Total platform cost: $0.
