Introducing Amico Framework

Amico framework is an open-source project initiated by AiMo Network under both the MIT License and the Apache-2.0 License.

We're entering a new era where AI isn't just processing information — it's informationalizing human intelligence itself. ChatGPT brought LLMs into daily life. Model Context Protocol enabled seamless AI workflow integration. Robotics began automating the physical world.

But here's the critical question: as AI captures thoughts, conversations, workflows — shaping personalized intelligence — who owns it?

The Problem: Big Tech's Walled Gardens

Today's tech giants — Apple, Google, Amazon, Meta — are racing to build AI that strengthens their ecosystems, not yours. They're embedding AI deeper into every layer of life and business, designing walled gardens where your data and intelligence power their advantage. As we move from the Internet of Everything to AI-powered everything, these platforms are positioning themselves to own the intelligence layer of the digital economy — across individuals and organizations alike.

This creates a fundamental misalignment. Big Tech harvests your behavior, insights, and knowledge to train models that serve their business models — not your growth, autonomy, or competitive edge.

The Solution: Sovereignty, Not Just Decentralization

The solution isn't just decentralization — it's sovereignty. Personalized intelligence — whether for individuals or organizations — should be owned and controlled by its creators and users. AI should perceive what you perceive, process what matters to you, and amplify your unique capabilities — while keeping that intelligence booster as your asset, not the one of platforms.

That's why we built Amico: an open-source, platform-agnostic agent framework designed to ensure user-owned personalized intelligence — whether you're an individual or an organization. No matter the applications you use or devices you rely on, your digital intelligence remains yours — your presence, your advantage, your future.

Meet Amico

In one line: Amico empowers local-first consumer applications — whether hardware or software — with agent intelligence and blockchain-integration. It integrates seamlessly with any edge-AI device, from wearables to robotics, connects them to blockchains to enable true agent ownership and value capture for users, and allows multi-agent collaboration in a fully decentralized way.

Amico is an open-sourced event-driven autonomous AI agent framework — engineered for edge optimization, seamless blockchain integration, and intuitive multi-agent collaboration. Its architecture is built on four distinct layers:

Architecture Layers

1. The Engine Layer - Powers core logic, handling task scheduling, event generation, and action selection in response to events.

2. The Agent Layer - Encapsulates the agent's intelligence, including state management, decision-making, and action execution (currently, a model-based agent workflow is the default).

3. The Environment Layer - Made up of sensor and effector plugins (including low-level firmware driver abstractions), passively receives and responds to changes in any environment — physical or virtual, such as the Internet or blockchain — without requiring intervention from users or agents.

4. The Interaction Layer - Fully decoupled, focusing solely on actively managing interactions initiated by users or agents.

This layered design gives Amico the flexibility and scalability needed to build autonomous agents that can seamlessly interact with both the real world and blockchain networks.

Technical Architecture Overview

Amico Framework serves as the gateway to the upcoming Amico Protocol, an interoperability middleware designed to bridge agent applications with infrastructure providers. It empowers AI agents (and human users) to autonomously access the products and services necessary to operate as truly autonomous agents — without human intervention.

We will provide an SDK for agents running the Amico Framework to seamlessly integrate with the Amico Protocol. Stay tuned for more details on the protocol's capabilities and launch timeline.

Cross-Platform Deployment

With built-in WASM and Rust Embassy support, Amico is designed for versatile, cross-platform deployment — running consistently across:

• Browsers
• Desktop applications
• Mobile devices
• Embedded hardware like AI wearables
• Future robotics and intelligent cabins

Framework Comparison

Compared to web3 agent frameworks like Virtual, Eliza, or Swarm, Amico is laser-focused on the edge, not the cloud (for now). While we encourage on-device model deployment, edge-side agents don't require you to run everything locally — it's perfectly fine to keep the agent logic on the device while calling models in the cloud (ideally using decentralized solutions like TEE, THE, or MPC with Amico protocol).

Unlike mainstream web2 agent frameworks and SDKs — which are still mostly cloud-based — Amico enables:

• User-owned agents
• Decentralized communication
• Seamless blockchain integration

Who Should Use Amico?

For Developers & Builders

Who care about data privacy and user data ownership — and want to bootstrap their products by connecting to a broader ecosystem — Amico is the ideal starting point. Instead of building an edge-side agent backend from scratch, developers can integrate Amico for free and instantly tap into a decentralized network of infrastructure, models, and services.

For Infrastructure Partners

Pioneering the decentralized future, Amico serves as the interoperability middleware layer, connecting agent applications — both software and hardware — with De-AI infrastructure. It abstracts the complexity of decentralized computing, inference, storage, and verification, while providing native support for emerging technologies like TEE, MPC, and zero-knowledge proofs.

For Individuals

Ready to reclaim control over their data and digital identity, Amico empowers you with personal intelligence that you truly own. Whether running on your device, AI wearable, or future intelligent environments, your agent is yours — persistent, private, and aligned with your values and needs. Amico gives you the tools to build and evolve your digital self without depending on centralized platforms that harvest your data.

Join the Decentralized Intelligence Revolution

Amico is much more than just an agent framework — it's the entry point to a broader Decentralized Intelligence ecosystem. Here, infrastructure providers, developers/builders, and users are all incentive-aligned, working together to create the best agents that serve everyone's interests.

We invite developers, builders, and users to join us to build the future of privacy-first, user-owned personal Intelligence network.
