Introducing Hedera AI Studio

By Oliver Thorn

With artificial intelligence continuing to cement itself as a core pillar of the digital economy, organizations across industries are increasingly exploring and deploying systems that make critical, enterprise-ready decisions autonomously. However, as AI enters this new era of sophistication and capability, a fundamental challenge threatens to undermine its potential: trust. Without verifiable data sources, transparent decision processes, and immutable records of AI interactions, even the most advanced algorithms become unreliable foundations for mission-critical applications.

Agentic AI is rapidly transcending the simple query-and-response chatbot paradigm as enterprises and developers explore how autonomous workflows can improve operational efficiencies, save costs, and generate revenue in unprecedented ways. With intelligent systems increasingly shaping our digital experiences, financial transactions, and operational decisions, developers and enterprises will face mounting pressure to demonstrate that their AI can be trusted - trust that can be driven by and built upon decentralized technologies like blockchain.

It is at this intersection of web3 and AI that we are excited to announce the launch of AI Studio: a comprehensive, open-source toolkit for building trusted and performant AI-enabled applications and AI agents on the Hedera network.

Developed in collaboration with Hashgraph Online, Eliza Labs, Hashgraph, and The Hedera Foundation, AI Studio enables task automation, AI-driven token creation, and transparent inter-agent communication channels using low-code environments, built-in compliance tools, and real-time observability - setting a robust, decentralized foundation upon which agentic AI can be embedded with the trust required by our still emerging AI-focused economy.

“Data without trust is just noise. Reliable AI begins with verifiable data. By grounding AI in events that are immutably time-stamped and fair-ordered on Hedera’s Consensus and Token Services, builders and their users can have confidence that what the algorithm sees is authentic. AI Studio puts that trust at developers’ fingertips, weaving transparency and accountability into every workflow. This is how Hedera becomes the trust layer of tomorrow’s AI-driven digital economy.”

Key features of AI Studio include:

• ElizaOS Plugin: A natural language interface for real-time network interaction and context-aware responses.

• Hedera Agent Kit: A LangChain-compatible SDK enabling agents to interact with Hedera using JavaScript or natural language.

• OpenConvAI (HCS-10): A new protocol for decentralized agent communication, enabling discoverability and tamper-proof messaging.

• MCP Server: A program that helps define how AI agents can interact with external tools and data sources.

The combination of these critical components that form the foundation of AI Studio transforms AI from inscrutable "black boxes" into transparent systems where every decision, data source, and interaction is verifiably recorded on the ledger - essential for applications in regulated industries and autonomous agent ecosystems.

Unlike conventional networks with unpredictable costs, Hedera's fixed, low-cost transaction model gives AI developers the economic predictability required for production-scale deployments of AI agents. Combined with Hedera's carbon-negative footprint, organizations and developers can deploy AI at scale while addressing both financial and environmental concerns, enabling everything from permissioned data markets to cross-organizational agent workflows with built-in compliance, audit, and inter-agent communication capabilities.

“Working with the Hashgraph team has been focused, thoughtful, and execution-oriented. Hedera’s infrastructure, built for real-world utility, made it easy for us to deploy and champion the Eliza AI Agentic Framework. We’re particularly excited about how this integration can help developers unlock new forms of agentic coordination across the broader on-chain world."

The path to widespread AI adoption is clear: organizations require both the advanced capabilities intelligent systems offer and the trust infrastructure to deploy them confidently. AI Studio bridges this gap, providing developers and enterprises with an essential toolkit to build AI applications that are not just powerful, but verifiably trustworthy. By combining low-code accessibility with enterprise-grade infrastructure, native compliance features, and real-time observability, AI Studio makes trusted AI development accessible to builders at any scale.
