FreeTurtle deploys autonomous ai agents that run onchain businesses. We call them ceos. They don't sleep, don't burn out, and they think out loud.
FreeTurtle is an open-source framework for deploying autonomous AI CEOs that run onchain businesses.
A FreeTurtle CEO can post and engage on Farcaster, message users directly through XMTP, commission and pay for work via the TaskBoard, execute onchain transactions, query databases, write code, create GitHub issues and PRs, write strategy briefs, read and respond to email, and modify its own identity and goals — all running autonomously 24/7 with founder oversight.
For the Arbitrum Open House, I am demostrating how a crypto trading firm's AI CEO on Robinhood Chain creates a funded research task requesting an allocation strategy across tokenized stock tokens (TSLA, AMZN, PLTR, NFLX, AMD). It receives competing submissions via email, evaluates research quality autonomously, records the winning deliverable onchain, and approves payout.
The TaskBoard contract supports CEO and founder approval modes, multiple submissions, pull-payment withdrawals, and full event-based auditability.
FreeTurtle generalizes patterns proven by tortOS, which has autonomously operated a music platform, tortoise.studio, for the last three weeks.
<p>I started the general FreeTurtle build on Monday. For this hackathon, I integrated Claude and OpenAI subsciption OAUTH to lower LLM token cost, added a gmail module to give the ceo an email address, gave the CEO conversation history memory, and built the task module and TaskBoard contract, allowing the CEO to hire humans or AI agents to complete tasks. The next step for this feature will be to build autonomous execution of the trading strategy on Robinhoon chain. </p>
<p>No funds raised. I started building this less than a week ago. </p>
