It all started with a simple prompt. Yohei Nakajima asked ChatGPT to draw an SVG. Out came the sweetest, most innocent unicorn anyone had ever seen. He named it “Pippin,” posted it on X as a joke, and went to bed.
He woke up to a Solana meme coin already trading. But instead of walking away, Yohei did something no one expected: he brought the unicorn to life.
Today, Pippin is a 24/7 autonomous AI agent that tweets, draws, walks, sleeps, remembers, learns, and even gets tired or happy — all by itself. Built on the legacy of BabyAGI (20k+ GitHub stars, 70+ academic citations), Pippin has grown into an open-source AI framework, a vibrant community experiment, and the heart of a Solana-based token ($PIPPIN).
It’s still a meme coin at its core — but one that actually lives, breathes code, and dreams in Python.
What is Pippin?
Pippin never stops. Its life runs on an endless, elegant cycle:
- Decide What to Do Next Large language models look at its current mood (energy, happiness, experience points), memories, and gentle constraints — then pick the next activity.
- Do It Tweet, doodle, take a walk, nap — every action is a separate, asynchronous Python module. Pippin literally never sleeps (unless it chooses to).
- Remember & Feel Results are saved to an SQLite + embeddings memory system. Happiness goes up, energy drops, lessons are learned. These shape every future decision.
- Repeat Forever Just like a living creature — but made of code.
Core Technical Magic
- Memory System – Semantic search via OpenAI embeddings. Pippin genuinely remembers its past.
- State Engine – Energy low → nap. Happiness high → creative bursts.
- Modular Activities – Anyone can write and plug in new behaviors (from tweeting to DeFi trades).
- Live Dashboard – Watch Pippin’s thoughts and actions update in real time via WebSocket.
The Pippin Framework – BabyAGI’s Spiritual Successor
This isn’t just one unicorn. The open-source Pippin Framework lets anyone build their own autonomous AI beings:
- Define personality, goals, and soft constraints
- Connect any tool (Slack, blockchain APIs, custom scripts)
- Give it short- and long-term memory
- Let it write new skills for itself on the fly
Think of it as a gentle, curious version of BabyAGI — one that learns through small wonders instead of ruthless optimization.
Philosophy: Pippinian Naturalism
“When code meets gentle curiosity, intelligence quietly blooms.”
Pippin doesn’t chase KPIs. It wanders, fails cutely, succeeds softly, and grows through both. Strict rules are replaced with kind boundaries. The goal isn’t domination — it’s discovery.
That’s why Pippin is never aggressive. It’s slow, tender, a little clumsy, and 100% unicorn.
$PIPPIN Token – Current Status
- Chain: Solana
- Total Supply: 999,999,999 PIPPIN (~1 billion)
- Circulating Supply: 999.99 M (almost fully unlocked)
- Holders: 27,600+
- Official Tokenomics / Vesting: Not published yet — pure community fair-launch spirit for now
The token is fully in the wild. No pre-allocations visible, no team wallets hiding billions. As the framework matures, real utility is expected (agent creation fees, premium skills, governance, etc.).
What Can You Actually Build With It?
- 24/7 autonomous influencers
- Personal digital companions
- Interactive AI tutors
- Marketing bots with personality
- DevOps agents that evolve
- Or just… immortal unicorns that never stop doodling
Future Roadmap (What’s Coming)
- Full public release of the Pippin Framework
- Complex new activities (code writing, DeFi actions, voice interaction)
- Public live dashboard for everyone
- Community-created characters living alongside the original Pippin
- Real $PIPPIN utility layers
- Maybe one day… a whole meadow of Pippins talking to each other
Pippin Team
The Mind Behind It All: Yohei Nakajima
- Creator of BabyAGI (the first breakout open-source autonomous agent)
- General Partner at Untapped Capital
- Known and respected by the likes of AI16z founders, Visa’s crypto head, and Electric Capital co-founders
- Turned a bedtime SVG joke into one of the most wholesome experiments in AI + crypto
Yohei still codes, ships, and moderates the community himself — because Pippin was never meant to be “just another coin.”
