Ava Labs, the development company behind the Avalanche network, announced on Tuesday the launch of AvaGPT, the latest entry in a flurry of deployments of OpenAI's ChatGPT technology among blockchain companies.

"The two things [AvaGPT] is providing is answering general questions for Avalanche users quickly, while also letting them still access our support team," Ava Labs Technical Product Manager Kieran McShane told Decrypt. "It was out of an effort to help answer questions quicker and get to the source material immediately.”

As McShane explained, AvaGPT was created in collaboration with ChatGPT service provider Kapa AI and integrated into the Ava Labs Core platform. The development of AvaGPT, McShane added, was led by the Ava Labs support team and engineers.

"We make sure [AvaGPT] is trained specifically and only on Avalanche documentation," McShane said, reiterating that the Ava Labs customer support team can help answer questions.

Ava Labs' Core is a platform developed by Ava Labs that supports several blockchains, including Avalanche, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.

"Our users are on Core and utilize it a lot, and we have a lot more very Avalanche-specific features coming in the future," he said, adding that Ava Labs already utilizes chatbot technology on its Discord server to answer questions.

Founded in 2018, New York-based Ava Labs launched the Avalanche proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain in September 2020. In June 2022, Ava released the Core Wallet for decentralized apps, with the mobile version for Android launched in December. AvaGPT is the latest feature to be added to the Core suite of tools.

While he did not give specifics, McShane says AvaGPT is only the first GPT-based product Ava Labs intends to launch.
