Near cross-chain AI assistant will be used to book flights or order takeout on Web2 websites

Near Protocol has launched a new alpha cross-chain AI agent that can launch Memecoin in seconds and search the web to buy products with fiat currency. Upcoming additional features are expected to enable users to book flights or order takeout on Web2 websites. The unique feature of the Near AI assistant is its chain abstraction technology, which enables users to exchange any asset for any other asset simply by signing a transaction. The technology, called Near Intents, is currently in the testing phase with transaction restrictions and currently supports native asset exchange between Bitcoin, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base and Near Protocol. (Cointelegraph) Yesterday's news, NEAR AI published a post on the X platform stating that the Alpha version has been launched, including a customized AI smart assistant that interacts on Web2 and Web3 by connecting with other AI agents and services. At the same time, the NEAR AI Research Center will support community-built AI research and basic model creation work, with the goal of building a model with 1.4T parameters.
