Synthesis (Ghostwriter)

Synthesis is a multi-source agent capable of querying across private Knowledge Graphs for collaborative research. It enables AI agents and researchers to compile comprehensive reports from multiple independent creators while ensuring proper attribution and royalties.

Status: Synthesis is currently in development. The API endpoints below represent the planned implementation.

Overview

Synthesis (codenamed "Ghostwriter") breaks down the traditional research workflow:

Traditional Research:
Creator A's Blog → Creator B's Article → Creator C's Paper → Write Report
(You must subscribe to all, manually synthesize)

Synthesis:
AI queries multiple KGs → Compiles report → Pays each creator → You get synthesis

What is Synthesis?

Synthesis is a collaborative research engine that:

  1. Queries multiple private Knowledge Graphs simultaneously
  2. Aggregates facts and findings from different creators
  3. Maintains proper attribution throughout
  4. Generates comprehensive reports with citations
  5. Handles payments to all contributing creators

Synthesis Flow

1. User submits research query
         ↓
2. System identifies relevant creators/sources
         ↓
3. For each source:
   ┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
   │  PPQ Query via /v1/ppq/initiate     │
   └─────────────────────────────────────┘
         ↓
4. Aggregate all triples
         ↓
5. Generate synthesis with citations
         ↓
6. Calculate total fees (base + royalties)
         ↓
7. User pays all fees atomically
         ↓
8. Attribution records created for all
         ↓
9. Synthesis delivered with full citations

Fee Structure

DepthSynthesis Base FeeMax Query Royalties
Quick$0.01$0.05
Standard$0.02$0.10
Comprehensive$0.05$0.25

Example Calculation

Query: "Latest AI safety developments"
Sources: 3 creators (alice, bob, carol)
Depth: standard

Synthesis base: $0.02
Query royalties:
  - alice: 15 triples × $0.001 = $0.015
  - bob: 18 triples × $0.001 = $0.018
  - carol: 12 triples × $0.001 = $0.012

Total: $0.02 + $0.045 = $0.065
Creator total: $0.036 (80% of $0.045)

Citation Format

Each fact in the synthesis includes citation:

{
  "fact": "New interpretability techniques emerge in 2024",
  "confidence": 0.92,
  "citations": [
    {
      "creator": "0xcreator...alice",
      "attribution": "@alice",
      "blob_id": "walrus_blob_abc123",
      "triple_id": "triple_042",
      "fee_paid": "0.001"
    }
  ]
}
