Hello!
Carlos and I wanted to give an update since our submission.
In the past weeks, we chatted with a few collaborators who reached out. These discussions prompted some interesting conversations, including one with Rafa who is interested in building an AI chatbot with the Collective Archives. (We have a shared channel with the OP team to test and better understand the boundaries of a conversational bot. Timing wise, we’ve discussed collaboration / integration towards the end of our V1 build. 🥳)
TL;DR: Through these discussions, we saw a lot more ways to grow the Collective Archives. We will continue to build a user friendly interface to improve the readability and contribution to the Collective Archives. However, instead of focusing on a static site to read data, we will lean into how contributors can actively integrate and build ways to engage with the data.
The core mission of the Collective DAO Archives Catalog still aims to create the most user-friendly, open-source platform that captures, indexes, and archives a comprehensive list of events and challenges from existing DAOs.
📌 For short, we reference these DAO events and challenges as “DAO Events”, which is any relevant occurrence in a DAO or DAO-adjacent org’s lifecycle, currently indicated by a public document on any platform like Discourse or Twitter.
An example is a post of Uniswap introducing V4, Launching a Grants Program, or a Temperature Check Proposal to create the Uniswap Foundation.
We believe there’s invaluable insight in how people access off-chain DAO Events and their discussions. Our big vision is to expand the existing Collective Archives by building the largest, most reliable database for querying across all these DAO Events. This bridges qualitative information across all DAOs into one searchable, source of truth. This enables anyone to contribute, integrate, and extend ways to engage with that data. For example, a chatbot is a conversational way for users to ask, read and understand the data. Or Tally.xyz could provide the link to on-chain data results of discussions.
We will still ship a simple user friendly interface where people can contribute to the archiving of DAO Events (i.e. posts), as well as have the ability to search, read, save, and share their searches (“Collections”). All the milestones remain the same. However, with the expanded vision in mind, it became clear we needed a more scalable option. Therefore instead of a markdown / static site generator approach, we’ve started to take a database approach.
While it’s still early, you can follow our current development in our Github Repo: https://github.com/amy-jung/collectivedaoarchives.catalog. What we’ve been working on thus far:
Our V2/ Near Future goals: We’re looking into simplifying the contribution UX by auto-populating content with just a submission link (similar to https://archive.ph/), and reducing platform dependability by archiving posts using Arweave or IPFS. We’d also like to launch an API for people to integrate and build ways to engage with that data.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions! 🙂
Hello everyone! Super excited to submit our plan to successfully execute this mission, and help the Collective Archive to thrive!

What makes your Alliance best-suited to execute this Mission?
Max's extensive knowledge in DAO & online organizations, and Preetham's proficiency in user-centric design and AI technology leadership form the backbone of our project, making us uniquely qualified to execute this mission. Our blend of technical expertise and solution-oriented vision enables us to dream big and execute fast.
Please describe your proposed solution based on the above Solution Criteria (if applicable):
In the era of AI and advanced chatbot technologies, user expectations around information discovery have fundamentally shifted. Rather than having to sift through potentially dense and jargon-laden resources (or intricated directories), users now expect immediate, concise, and accessible answers that draw on best practices.
The Archives should embrace this paradigm shift to drastically improve accessibility and understanding of DAO-related resources.
Our plan is to create a chat-and-dashboard interface, utilizing OpenAI's technology to deliver organized, cohesive answers based on the collective knowledge derived from DAOs. The objective is to significantly improve the navigation, exploration, and understanding of the Collective Archives, transforming the way users interact with DAO-related resources.
The platform will analyze all the forum posts, proposals, and entries currently in the Collective Archives and create a structured, indexed database. Our tailored AI solution, built on top of OpenAI, will reconstruct answers in a user-centric format based on specific queries, with the capacity to continuously learn and improve from user feedback.
Users can ask questions like "How do I structure a new DAO?", "How should contributors be rewarded?", or "Best practices for liquidity mining programs". The system then provides the best possible synthesized answer, referencing the breadth of collective wisdom within the DAO community.
To ensure the ongoing accuracy and relevance of the resources, the platform will also facilitate community contributions. Users can add new resources by submitting a link through a webpage. A whitelist system will be in place to prevent spam and maintain the quality of submissions. This approach ensures that the platform remains an up-to-date, dynamic repository of DAO knowledge.
MVP
For the initial launch, the team will focus on delivering a highly functional, user-friendly system. The MVP will contain the following key features:
AI-Driven Interface: Users can interact directly with an AI model trained on the Collective Archives. This AI will be capable of parsing user inquiries and providing relevant, comprehensive responses based on the knowledge extracted from the archives.
Database of Indexed Resources: The system will have a comprehensive, structured database created from existing Collective Archives resources. This database will be regularly updated and maintained for the AI to draw upon.
Community Contribution System: An easy-to-use web interface for the community to submit new resources. These submissions will undergo a review process before being added to the structured database.
Whitelist System: To maintain the quality of the resource database and prevent spam submissions, the MVP will include a whitelist system. This will permit only approved users to contribute new resources to the platform.
User Feedback Mechanism: A system to collect and process user feedback on AI responses. This will serve as a critical input for the ongoing training and improvement of the AI model.

Grants are awarded in OP, locked for one year. Please let us know if access to upfront capital is a barrier to completing your Mission and you would like to be considered for a small upfront cash grant: (Note: there is no guarantee that approved Missions will receive up-front cash grants.)
While the initial grant is anticipated to cover the setup, training, and first year of maintenance, we acknowledge that the project’s innovative nature presents a different cost structure compared to a traditional static directory. After 1 year, we propose that the Optimism Collective evaluates the project's impact and potential for a recurring grant to ensure its continued operation.
To reiterate on previous answers, this is more than a chatbot, this is much more than a directory. It's a great mix tailored to the needs of DAO members and builders. By adopting a cutting-edge AI solution to navigate the Collective Archives, we believe we can make DAO-related resources more accessible, contributing to the growth and development of the broader DAO ecosystem.

Foundation Mission Request – Collective Archive Maintenance
How will this Foundation Mission (RFP) help accomplish the above Intent?: The Collective Archives were open sourced as a public good to advance the development of DAOs in the ecosystem. However, the Collective Archives are currently hard to navigate and there is no scalable framework for contributors to update, maintain, and/or expand these resources. Making the Archives easier to use, understand, and update these resources will allow more people to learn, and share their own learnings, improving the accessibility of our governance research and advancing our collective governance intelligence.
