Metis

Metis wrapped its 8-week AI Agent builder program run this summer alongside ClawUp, GOAT Network, LazAI, CryptoChicks, and MindFuel. The program drew 91 applicants, narrowed to 12 teams and 9 finalists, judged not on demos but on real users and onchain traction. Co-founder @kevinliu said they see “potential and very promising projects coming up” and want to support them continuously.

• A $1M grant program is now open to the teams that made it through the bootcamp
• Finals were decided by real users and onchain traction, not demo quality
• Announced via the Metis X account with a live presentation of the AI agent work

Metis' AI agent platform ClawUp opened its Tool Marketplace so any user can submit an MCP server for review. Once approved, the server becomes available platform-wide and every user can bind it to their Claw in a single click.\n\n- Aimed at letting builders "build once, ship platform-wide"\n- Reviewed submissions are surfaced to all ClawUp users\n- Announced via the Metis X account

Metis' AI agent platform ClawUp shipped Multi-Channel Support, letting agents meet users where they already talk instead of forcing them onto a new interface.

• Out of the box, ClawUp supports three channels: Telegram (bot token), Feishu (app ID + app secret), and Slack (bot token + app token).
• Users pick a channel when creating a Claw, drop in their credentials, and ClawUp handles the distribution.
• Announced via Metis' X account across a three-post thread.

Metis announced support for Telegram Mini App, letting users open and pay invoices directly inside Telegram — on GOAT or from any other chain. The feature is powered by PayMate agent and is being rolled out for users to try.

• Invoices open and pay right inside Telegram
• Works on GOAT or any other chain
• Announced via the Metis X account, with a live demo link
