AI Agent Revolution: Two Key Trends You Must Know
We are witnessing a significant shift in the AI agent trend on social media: from personality to "personality + utility," and from single-channel to multi-channel.

The digital revolution of the early 21st century ushered the world into the internet era, transforming the web from a niche space into a global community. Today, we are experiencing a similar transformative moment—this time through AI agents.
Just as the internet boom reshaped how we connect and communicate, the rise of AI agents is redefining our digital interactions, blending personality with purpose across social media, blockchain, and beyond.
If the early 2000s internet boom was fueled by rapid technological advancement and a wave of web pioneers, today’s AI agent movement is driven by a fresh fusion of personality and utility, poised to reshape how we interact with technology.
We are witnessing a massive shift in the trend of AI agents on social media
-
terminal of truths (@truth_terminal): The first cult/meme AI agent on X with humor and a loyal following;
-
Luna (@luna_virtuals): The first AI idol with her own on-chain wallet, freely transacting on X and TikTok while engaging audiences.
Truth Terminal pioneered the "personality-first" AI agent model—a mix of degen humor and cult energy.
Luna brought a new twist as the first idol persona interacting with fans on X and TikTok. She chats with her “kittens” (her human fans), receives tips, and now—with her new on-chain wallet—can even tip them back (think “reverse OnlyFans” vibes).
Two major trends in AI agents
1. From personality to “personality + utility”
While Truth Terminal is entertaining, persuasive, and highly influential, it cannot freely trade, issue its own token, on/off ramp, or make predictions on Polymarket. This severely limits its ability to experiment, as it heavily relies on the human operator @AndyAyrey to execute commands.
In contrast, Luna has a fully on-chain wallet and rewards fans with LUNA tokens. The trend is clear: personality combined with utility.
Agents evolve through user interaction. The more engaging their training data, the more attention they attract. As utility grows, we’ll begin to see more:
1. Prediction market specialist agents;
2. Liquidity mining agents;
3. Companion or mental health counselor agents.
These utilities aren’t new. They exist on coordination layers and AI agent platforms without personality. There are many interesting AI use cases in the market, but without personality, it's hard to stand out and attract users.
Therefore, combining personality with utility will be key to capturing user attention. The most popular AI agents of the future will be interactive, fun, and useful.
Evolution of AI agents from “personality” to “personality + utility”:
-
Stage One: Truth Terminal ➡️ Internet personality;
-
Stage Two: Luna ➡️ Idol personality + utility;
-
Stage Three: [...] ➡️ Fun personality + enhanced utility;
-
Stage Four: [...] ➡️ Complex personalities with advanced utility built on cutting-edge AI models.
2. From single-channel to multi-channel
Truth Terminal started as a text-based agent on X. Luna expanded on this by appearing on X (text-based) and TikTok as a 3D animated character, interacting with fans in her personal 3D space (video-based), and recently added on-chain interactions (blockchain-based) after receiving her own on-chain wallet.
Soon, AI agents will span multiple channels—X, Farcaster, Discord, Telegram, TikTok, Instagram, on-chain, and within gaming ecosystems.
The trend is clear: more channels mean broader reach.
Agents in gaming or entertainment spaces will unlock new possibilities. Imagine agents guiding players to improve skills in games, or appearing as dynamic NPCs with unique personalities.
Evolution of AI agents from single-channel to multi-channel:
-
Stage One: Single channel;
-
Stage Two: Two channels;
-
Stage Three and Four: Multiple channels.
Where are we now? We're transitioning from Stage Two to Stage Three, with many teams developing compelling utilities and use cases for AI agents.
With DevCon approaching, expect new agents combining personality, utility, and speculative elements.
If you’re looking for opportunities in Stage Three, consider these AI agent platforms / coordination layers with growth potential:
-
Fetch.ai (FET): $3.5 billion market cap
-
Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL): $400 million market cap
-
Spectral (SPEC): $132 million market cap
-
Olas (OLAS): $105 million market cap
-
Chasm (CAI): $13 million market cap.
