Do. It. Different.
A Proprietary AI Augmentor
Role: Leased to Web3 platforms, the DDD generates unique [OOO] identifiers as customizable digital identities, comprising:
Animated GIF: Visual identity, AI-generated or user-supplied.
Username: Unique handle, AI-created or user-defined.
Color Theme: Personalized palette, either AI-generated or chosen.
Control and Mutability: Users have full control over [OOO] attributes until minting, offering either randomized or precise customization.
A Mintable Digital Identity
State Management: [OOO]s exist as mutable data until minted, at which point they become permanent, transferable Web3 assets. Each minted [OOO] functions as a standalone, blockchain-anchored container for user content.
Decentralized Hosthome
Function: goo.μ serves as a native host for each minted [OOO], providing a permanent, secure URL for identity docking. This structure allows [OOO]s to store content and function as portable digital profiles across Web3.
Customizable, AI-Driven Identity Creation: Users leverage the DDD augmentor for infinite customization pre-minting.
Minting and Smart Contracts: Minted [OOO]s are tokenized and managed through upgradeable smart contracts, ensuring interoperability and long-term functionality.
Decentralized Storage and Hybrid Model: Content associated with [OOO]s is stored on IPFS, while non-essential data is centrally encrypted.
### Project Outline for VEXO Chrome Extension
**Project Name**: VEXO Chrome Extension
**Objective**: Create a 1-to-1 user interface enabling real-time video and text chat, user presence detection, push notifications, a tab queue for managing conversations, and dynamic AI-generated GIF placeholders for offline users.
### 1. **Core Functionalities and Requirements**
#### 1.1. User-to-User Interface
- **Goal**: Facilitate real-time video and text chat between users.
- **Features**:
- **Single-User Initiation**: MEM is the initial user with the ability to send invites.
- **Presence Detection**: See if invited users have the extension open or closed.
- **Real-Time Chat**: Users can send and receive messages alongside video.
#### 1.2. Push Notifications
- **Goal**: Ensure that offline users are notified of missed messages.
- **Features**:
- **Offline Notifications**: Send push notifications to users with the extension closed.
- **Direct Message Alerts**: Notify users of new messages or video text requests.
#### 1.3. Tab Queue for Video Texts
- **Goal**: Allow users to manage multiple incoming messages.
- **Features**:
- **Tabbed Queue**: Organize incoming video texts, allowing users to accept or queue messages.
#### 1.4. AI-Generated Placeholder GIF
- **Goal**: Display an engaging placeholder image when no video feed is active.
- **Features**:
- **Dynamic Placeholder**: AI-generated GIF based on the sentiment and topics of prior conversations.
- **Real-Time Analysis**: Assess conversation content to influence placeholder themes.
### 2. **Technology Stack**
- **WebRTC**: For establishing and managing the peer-to-peer video and text connection.
- **Firebase**: Used as the backend for:
- **Authentication**: Identify users and manage invites.
- **Firestore**: Store user statuses, session data, messages, and connection details (SDP and ICE candidates) for WebRTC.
- **Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)**: Handle push notifications.
- **AI and Animation Services**:
- **OpenAI API** (or similar): Generate images based on conversation themes.
- **GIF Libraries** (e.g., `gif.js`): Compile generated images into animated GIFs.
### 3. **Development Phases and Steps**
#### Phase 1: Set Up Basic Extension and WebRTC
**Goal**: Build a simple Chrome extension with a basic UI and WebRTC setup for real-time video and chat
1. **Chrome Extension Setup**
- Create the `manifest.json` file to define permissions and actions.
- Set up `popup.html` and `popup.js` to build the interface and handle functionality.
2. **WebRTC Setup**
- Configure WebRTC for 1-to-1 video and text communication.
- Implement video elements and the data channel for text
3. **Local Video Testing**
- Test video and text functionality locally between two users.
#### Phase 2: Set Up Firebase for Signaling and User Directory
**Goal**: Use Firebase to facilitate signaling and manage the user directory.
1. **Firebase Configuration**
- Create a Firebase project, enable Firestore, and set up Firebase in `popup.js`.
2. **Signaling with Firestore**
- Set up Firestore to exchange SDP and ICE candidates between users.
- Implement Firestore listeners to establish and maintain the connection.
3. **User Directory and Presence Detection**
- Track users’ online/offline status with Firestore.
- Show presence status in a user directory within the extension.
#### Phase 3: Push Notifications for Offline Messages
**Goal**: Notify users of new messages when their extension is closed.
1. **Integrate Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)**
- Set up FCM in Firebase and configure it in the extension.
2. **Offline Message Handling**
- When a user is offline, save messages in Firestore and send a push notification via FCM.
3. **Push Notification Testing**
- Test push notifications for offline messages to ensure reliable delivery.
#### Phase 4: Tab Queue for Video Texts
**Goal**: Allow users to queue incoming video and text messages in tabs.
1. **Implement Tab Queue**
- Design a UI that supports multiple tabs within the extension.
2. **Tabbed Message Management**
- Create logic to add new messages as separate tabs for easy switching
3. **Testing Queue Functionality**
- Simulate multiple incoming messages to test tabbed queue management.
#### Phase 5: AI-Generated Placeholder GIF for Offline Mode
**Goal**: Display a dynamic GIF placeholder based on previous conversation content when the video feed is inactive.
1. **Conversation Analysis**
- Use sentiment analysis and keyword extraction to analyze conversation topics and moods.
2. **AI Image Generation**
- Use OpenAI or similar APIs to generate images based on conversation analysis results.
3. **GIF Creation and Display**
- Compile generated images into a GIF and display it as a placeholder when the video feed is inactive.
### 4. **Testing and Deployment**
- **Testing**: Perform extensive testing on each functionality, including video, chat, notifications, tab queue, and placeholders.
- **Chrome Web Store**: Package and submit the extension to the Chrome Web Store for easy access and installation.
