TechFlow news — Shaw, founder of ai16z, responded in a recent interview to growing market attention around the AI Pool project. Previously, he had repeatedly endorsed the project on social media. Shaw explained that AI Pool is actually a project by his partner Skely, merely built on ElizaOS technology. The project operates similarly to pump.fun, but the entire process is integrated within social media platforms, enabling users to participate more conveniently and fairly.
Shaw particularly emphasized the project's autonomy, stating it demonstrates true autonomous agent characteristics—the project runs entirely self-governed, with even ai16z having no ability to interfere: no private key access, no capability to withdraw funds, and no control over its operations.
