MinionLab is proud to announce that we have secured $2 million USD in our pre-seed led by Jsquare, and Stream AI will be rebranded as MinionLab!
Wait, so what is MinionLab?
Imagine having a tireless team of AI-powered assistants scouring the internet on your behalf. That’s exactly what MinionLab provides — a decentralized network of “Minions” that run on your own devices. These autonomous action AI agents use a customized browser runtime to mimic human-like browsing, allowing them to gather real-time data from across the web.
Once deployed, your Minions automatically accept tasks assigned by the ecosystem, execute them, and let you earn passively. They can navigate websites, fill out forms, and extract information just as a human would — only much faster and more efficiently.
Why the rebrand?
From data streams to autonomous data mining
StreamAI’s original focus on decentralized data streaming was just the beginning. As our capabilities expanded, it became clear we needed a brand that reflects our shift toward intelligent, user-driven AI agents capable of dynamic web exploration and large-scale data processing.
“MinionLab” spotlights the autonomous “Minions” at the heart of our ecosystem — tiny, tireless AI workers that collectively bridge the gap between skyrocketing AI data needs and the constraints of centralized solutions.
A $2 million step forward, led by Jsquare
MinionLab has successfully secured $2 million in pre-seed funding, with Jsquare and Capital6 Eagle leading the round. This strategic investment will empower MinionLab to scale its network of AI-driven “Minions,” extending their presence to more devices and regions.
“MinionLab’s community and user-centric approach to AI data industry is at the perfect intersection with Web3,” says Joanna, founding partner of Jsquare. “Their vision has the potential to redefine how data is gathered and shared on a global scale, and we’re excited to support them on this journey.”
Pioneering Early-Stage Investments to Drive Web3 Mass Adoption, Jsquare is dedicated to early-stage innovation, with a particular emphasis on AI and transformative technologies. Notably, Jsquare was among the earliest investors in Pudgy Penguins, Render, CookieDao, Gensyn, Zetachain, Metis, and many other prominent projects that lead the trend in space.
The mechanics: how MinionLab works
1. Minions, explained
Minions are autonomous AI agents that run on user devices — whether it’s a desktop PC, laptop, mobile phone, or browser extension. Each Minion leverages a customized browser runtime to explore websites in a human-like manner, carrying out data-mining, automation tasks, and AI-driven interactions.
2. Real-time, resilient data collection
MinionLab’s decentralized architecture distributes work across thousands (eventually millions) of Minions globally. By tapping into diverse devices and locations, the network captures real-time, geographically varied data — something centralized crawlers or adversarial scrapers often struggle to achieve.
3. Rewards for participation
By installing the MinionLab software, device owners (Minion Owners) earn tokens in return for running Minions on their hardware. Your device’s idle resources — compute, network bandwidth, and storage — are utilized to carry out data-mining tasks. The more tasks your Minions successfully complete, the greater your token rewards.
“We’re not just sharing bandwidth; we’re enabling AI-powered agents that actually see and interpret the web the way humans do — only it’s automated and incentivized,” the community director LJ points out.
Charting the future of decentralized AI
Specialized data for smarter AI
MinionLab already provides specialized datasets to YCombinator-backed startups and major tech companies. By gathering targeted, real-time information from niche sites, we help AI developers train models on current, relevant data. We’re the first agentic network to collect real-time, operational, and contextual data.
Strengthening decentralized AI networks
We believe AI thrives on collaboration, not centralization. By distributing data-mining tasks across a global network of Minion Owners, we ensure greater resilience, broader data coverage, and fair rewards for everyone contributing to the system.
Beyond basic Web3 bots
MinionLab’s AI agents will go beyond simple chat or trading. They’ll tackle tasks like navigating decentralized marketplaces, tracking on- & off-chain events, and automating governance decisions.
