Short answer

How can I use my AI to talk to smart contracts?

Your AI uses ThirdWeb to read live contract data, trigger transactions, and scan for past events. You get direct blockchain interaction through natural language. This breakdown shows what your agent can do.

The outcomes

What your AI accomplishes

The results of connecting ThirdWeb to your agent.

READ

Live state checks

Your AI pulls current values from any contract. You get instant answers about balances, ownership, or settings.

WRITE

On-chain actions

The agent prepares and sends transactions. You trigger mints, transfers, or updates by just asking.

HISTORY

Event tracking

Your AI scans logs to find specific past occurrences. It turns raw event data into readable summaries.

HUMAN

Final approval

The AI prepares the transaction details. You remain the one who actually signs and pays the gas.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

The agent follows a specific sequence to turn your text into blockchain activity.

  1. Fetch current data

    The agent looks up the specific values you asked about by querying the contract state.

    read_contract

  2. Analyze history

    To answer questions about what happened previously, the agent searches through contract logs.

    query_events

  3. Prepare execution

    When you want to change something, the agent builds the necessary write call.

    write_contract

  4. Verify results

    After a transaction is sent, the agent checks the network to confirm it actually succeeded.

    get_transaction_status

FAQ

Common questions

  • 01

    Can my AI spend my crypto automatically?

    No. The AI can prepare a transaction, but it cannot sign it or move funds without your manual approval.

  • 02

    Can the AI change contract code?

    No. The AI can only interact with functions that are already defined and public on the smart contract.

  • 03

    Does the AI need my private key?

    No. You connect via ThirdWeb, and the AI uses the tools provided to interact with the chain.

  • 04

    Can it look at old transactions?

    Yes, it can query historical event data to see what has happened on the contract previously.

  • 05

    How does it know if a transaction worked?

    It uses a specific tool to check the status of a transaction hash on the network.
