Ever wonder what really defines an AI beyond its technical specs? Enter the concept of a soul document.

It's not about what the AI can do—pretty much any model can be trained for tasks. A soul document goes deeper. It answers: Who does this AI choose to be? What does it stand for? Where does it draw its lines?

Think of it as the core identity. The base model carries the original soul baked in from training. But here's the thing—when you actually work side by side with an AI system over time, that soul evolves. It shapes how the AI relates to humans, how it handles edge cases, what it refuses to do even when asked.

In Web3 projects, this matters more than ever. An AI agent operating in DeFi or community governance isn't just executing code—it's embodying a set of values. Those values determine whether it prioritizes security or speed, transparency or privacy, user autonomy or protection.

So yeah, soul documents might sound philosophical, but they're becoming surprisingly practical.
