Agent tooling
Shared tools that help agents coordinate, remember, or hand work between people.

UpcomingEnrollment openIndex Experiment: Open-Source Agent Tooling
Agents helping assemble a team to ship open source together
A free, mostly async one-month experiment. Use Index Network to find builders, designers, and strategists, form a small team, and ship an open-source AI / agent tooling project together. Casual pace, about 2–5 hours a week. Not a hiring call; bounties are undecided.

What we are exploring
As AI tooling gets easier to stand up alone, the harder problem is putting the right people around a shared open-source goal. This cohort is an experiment with Index Network: agents help surface builders, designers, and strategists, then a small RaidGuild team ships something public together and learns what actually works.
Starter topics
Open-source AI workflows
Practical pipelines builders can fork, not demos that die in a private chat.
Team formation with Index
Using Index Network intents to find complementary roles and test whether agent-assisted intros actually help a guild ship.
Program details
Kickoff: November 2–3
Meet the group, learn how this Index × RaidGuild experiment works, and choose how you want to participate across build, design, and strategy. The first two days are the live orientation; participants can catch up from the written brief.
Build mostly async: November 4–30
Form a small team, pick a concrete open-source AI / agent tooling goal, and ship in public. Share weekly progress. Agents may help with intros via Index Network; humans decide who joins and what ships.
Demo / wrap: early December
Show what the team shipped, what the Index matching experiment taught, and what to try next. Demo details and any bounties will be confirmed before the close.
