# QuickStart: A User's Journey This walkthrough demonstrates the intuitive, chat-centric workflow of CollabraChain for managing freelance projects directly from a crypto wallet. #### 1. Project Initiation A client starts a project by inviting collaborators and the `@CollabraChain-AI` to a new XMTP group chat within their Coinbase Wallet. The client then specifies the project scope, budget, and milestones. > Client: > @CollabraChain-AI, start a project to build a landing page. The budget is $1,000 USDC. > > Milestone 1: Design > > Milestone 2: Development The AI immediately parses the request and proposes a clear, structured breakdown for approval. > 🤖 @CollabraChain-AI: > Project: Landing Page > > Milestone 1: Design ($400 USDC) > > Milestone 2: Development ($600 USDC) > > Do all parties agree? Type `Yes` to deploy the contract. #### 2. Agreement & Funding All human participants confirm their agreement in the chat. This consensus triggers the next step from the AI. Action: All parties type "Yes". This prompts the client to deploy the smart contract and transfer the total project budget into an on-chain escrow, ensuring funds are secured before work begins. > ✅ @CollabraChain-AI: > Agreement confirmed. The smart contract is live and $1,000 USDC is secured in escrow on Base. #### 3. Milestone Approval & Payment Upon completing a milestone, the freelancer submits their work directly in the chat for the client to review. Action: The freelancer uploads the design file to the group chat. > Freelancer: > @client.base, the design for Milestone 1 is ready for your review. The client reviews the work and, once satisfied, approves the milestone with a simple chat command. > Client: > @CollabraChain-AI, approve milestone 1. The AI executes the smart contract, instantly releasing the payment for the completed milestone to the freelancer's wallet. > ✅ @CollabraChain-AI: > Milestone 1 approved. Releasing $400 USDC to @freelancer.base. > > Transaction Hash: `0x123abc...` #### 4. Project Completion & Reputation Once the final milestone is approved and paid, the AI marks the project as complete. To reward successful collaboration, it automatically issues non-transferable reputation tokens (Soulbound Tokens, or SBTs) to all participants' wallets. These on-chain credentials serve as a permanent, verifiable record of their work history. > 🤖 @CollabraChain-AI: > Project "Landing Page" is complete! Issuing on-chain reputation credentials (SBTs) to all participants for your successful collaboration. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
