Have questions? We've Got Answers We've Got Answers.

Everything you need to know about the Shinkai Protocol and Runtime.

What can I do with Shinkai?
Create versatile AI agents that automate tasks, analyze data, trade crypto, manage social media, or interact directly with other digital services. Share or sell these agents via the built-in peer-to-peer marketplace.
Do I need coding skills to use Shinkai?
No. Shinkai provides a no-code, guided interface that automatically generates code for agent tasks. Developers can manually refine the generated code if desired.
Where is my data stored and is it secure?
Your data is stored locally on your device within the Shinkai Node. Data leaves your machine only when explicitly shared by you, typically encrypted or as vectors.
How does Shinkai compare to LangChain, CrewAI, and similar platforms?
Shinkai combines no-code agent creation, code generation, local execution, decentralized identities, crypto payments, and a built-in marketplace—all in one integrated solution.
How quickly can I create and launch an agent?
Basic agents typically launch in under five minutes, while more complex agents requiring detailed integration remain straightforward and quick to build.
What crypto functionalities does Shinkai support?
Shinkai agents natively handle decentralized transactions, unique identities, marketplace interactions, and crypto payments, enabling monetization directly.
Can I earn revenue from my AI agents?
Yes. Publish your agents in the Shinkai AI Store or create agents for direct crypto market interactions, generating revenue that streams directly to your wallet.
Does Shinkai support Agentic AI?
Yes, Shinkai enables the creation of Agentic AI systems, supporting dynamic multi-agent collaboration, persistent memory, and orchestrated workflows.
What's the difference between AI Agents and Agentic AI?
AI Agents handle specific tasks independently using predefined tools. Agentic AI involves multiple agents dynamically collaborating to manage complex, multi-step tasks with persistent context and real-time coordination.
Can Shinkai integrate with other services and APIs?
Yes, Shinkai easily integrates with various services and APIs through custom plugins, enabling agents to interact with external data sources, tools, and platforms.
What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)?
MCP is a protocol enabling standardized, accessible AI agent services across different platforms, making it easy to integrate agents into broader workflows and ecosystems.
What is the x402 payment protocol integration?
The x402 payment protocol integration allows Shinkai agents to autonomously handle secure payments within decentralized workflows, enabling seamless economic interactions among agents.
Can Shinkai agents operate completely offline?
Yes, Shinkai supports fully offline operation by leveraging local AI models, ensuring all data processing and execution remain private and local to your device.
