# About
AI-powered infrastructure for the Hyperliquid economy.
Based AI is a suite of products that bring artificial intelligence into the core of trading, spending, and building on Hyperliquid. As AI models become more capable and AI inference demand doubles every two months, Based is positioning at the intersection of AI, liquidity, and commerce.
***
## The Thesis
Software is no longer a moat — AI makes it easy for anyone to build fast. Value is shifting to distribution, ecosystems, liquidity, and products that directly impact user behavior and commerce. Based is built for this shift.
Two trends drive the opportunity:
1. **AI inference demand is accelerating**, doubling roughly every two months as models become more useful and more integrated into daily workflows.
2. **AI usage hasn't reached daily commerce yet.** Most people interact with AI through chat interfaces. As AI evolves from "something you chat with" to "something that helps you decide, transact, and execute," usage will jump by an order of magnitude.
When that happens, the commerce layer around AI becomes a critical place to build.

## What Based Is Building
### 1. AI Liquidity Layer
AI inference is the foundation of all agentic use cases. For agents to operate at scale, inference must be easy to consume, easy to pay for, and easy to embed into workflows.
Based has built a commoditized AI inference gateway with pay-per-use billing settled via x402 micro-transactions on Hyperliquid. Access all major AI models through a single integration — from the browser or via API.

### 2. Consumer AI Products
Infrastructure alone is not enough. Based is releasing consumer-facing products on top of the inference layer to drive real usage. Consumer demand fuels infrastructure usage, creating a flywheel.
* [**Chat**](/docs/based-ai/chat.md) — Talk to any supported model directly in the browser
* [**Based Page**](/docs/based-ai/based-page.md) — Deploy web content to live URLs directly from AI conversations
* [**Agent Mail**](/docs/based-ai/agent-mail.md) — Email mailboxes for agents at @basedmail.ai

### 3. Commerce Interface (Planned)
The long-term opportunity is owning the interface where intelligence becomes action. If AI makes more decisions, the most valuable layer is the system that translates intents into execution across trading, payments, purchases, and financial actions.
* **Trade Everything:** Not just perps, spot, or prediction markets — any significant economic decision as executable intent.
* **Spend Everywhere:** Not just cards or checkouts — seamless value transfer between humans and agents.
* **Intelligence Embedded:** AI built directly into commerce to help users and agents optimize every action.

## Why Hyperliquid
Based is making a clear bet: Hyperliquid will become a dominant chain for AI commerce. Agentic commerce — programmatic payments for goods, services, and commodities via AI — requires a chain with gasless UX, instant finality, and high throughput. Hyperliquid provides the most credible foundation for high-frequency, always-on commerce where agents can operate continuously.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:
```
GET https://basedapp.gitbook.io/docs/based-ai/about.md?ask=
```
The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
