When asked about why using nano as the main cryptocurrency for the bot, Mira Hurley told us that:
“I picked Nano mostly because it’s very easy to implement and very easy for payments, zero fees and instant transactions make testing really easy and provide a great user experience I think”.
— Mira Hurley (@mira_hurley)Hurley also said that it is possible to pay her bot with the most known cryptocurrencies thanks to a built-in swap service using NanSwap’s API. This is possible through the command ‘/swap’, but it is important to say that swaps will have different minimum amounts for each crypto, according to their network fees and availability in the swap platform.
“However, I would recommend trying out Nano sometime! There is a good reason I’m using it for the bot, it’s because it’s really easy to use.”

As part of testing the tool, Finbold used the GPT-4 bot in a previous report called: “ChatGPT picks 3 assets to buy and beat high interest rates”. It was charged a total of 0.0756 XNO ($0.045) for the prompt, plus its response.

Interview with the ‘ChatGPT-4 Nano Bot’ creator
Mira Hurley explained that she has been involved with crypto since 2012, firstly with Bitcoin (BTC), but later moved to alternatives between 2016-2017, just to find out about Nano:
“I got interested in Nano because of its promise for payments (instant and feeless) and because it seemed a superior store of value, with fixed supply and becoming ever more decentralized over time.”
— Mira Hurley (@mira_hurley)What made you develop this tool?
“I developed the bot because ChatGPT-4 has been hugely helpful to me and I want to give more people access to it. A $20 subscription is quite a steep commitment, paying a few cents per prompt is far more welcoming. I also think people should be able to access chatgpt from everywhere, not just countries where credit cards are widespread, and be able to use it anonymously if they want to.”
— Mira Hurley (@mira_hurley)What are the next steps for it? Any big plans in mind?
“Next steps for the bot I’m not sure about yet. I am considering adding other AIs into the bot, or perhaps doing more with image generation, but I’m mostly seeing what people want to see most and implement that.”
— Mira Hurley (@mira_hurley)Any recommendations for the users?
“I would recommend wiping the chat history whenever you want to talk about a new subject, since the longer a conversation goes the more each prompt costs.”
— Mira Hurley (@mira_hurley)Interestingly, as our interview was reaching an end, the bot creator also said that she is: “Currently putting 0.2 Nano into all new users accounts for as long as I can afford to, so people can try it for free”.
