This post is for the Memers. Memeticists? People of Meme? Anyway, it’s for the sort of people who want to put together the right image with the right text at just the right moment to be selected by the Algorithmic Gods for viral success.

What’s Meme Deck?

Put simply, MemeDeck is a tool for creating and sharing memes. Meme Deck lets you store and organize your memes for easy retrieval and deployment on social media and elsewhere. Meme Deck itself also has a social element, with a global feed where the best memes are highly upvoted and top posters are highlighted in the sidebar. It includes a suite of tools for creating original memes using AI image generation coupled with character templates, text overlay, multi-pane selection, and more.

Not only individual users, but whole memecoin communities have discovered that Meme Deck is the perfect place to realize their memetic ideas.

Case Study: The $99 Cents Collaboration with Meme Deck

Meme Deck recently began collaborating with the $99 Cents memecoin community. $99 Cents is inspired by–but unaffiliated with!--Arizona Iced Tea; Arizona hasn’t changed its price since the company’s inception, and that idea resonated with the crypto memelords. Like Arizona Iced Tea, $99 Cents aspires to make it to a value of…$99 cents. So, they launched their memecoin on Solana, built up an active Telegram channel, and then commissioned art for a character called Steepy Pete: an anthropomorphized Arizona Iced Tea can that causes mischief across the land.

Soon, $99 Cents realized that to continue growing, they’d need to make it easier for their community to remix and share Steepy Pete and other $99 Cents memes; luckily, Meme Deck offered the perfect opportunity for a collaboration. Meme Deck integrated Steepy Pete into their AI model, enabling the $99 Cents community to create and remix Steepy Pete effortlessly into any situation their community members could dream up for him.

The collaboration between Meme Deck and $99 Cents shows how powerful Meme Deck can be for helping memecoin communities grow. There are features like AI guidance, random selection, and multi-pane options that provide the technical foundation for great images and text. $99 Cents and Meme Deck highlight the potential of what we often call “Meme Tech”--a suite of tools for meme creation and community engagement that will only be available in one place: on Meme Deck. Other communities are starting to catch on to what Meme Deck is building and are actively onboarding now.

Ok, but what’s this got to do with Kinode?

Remember when we mentioned that this post is for people who want to be noticed by the Algorithmic Gods? While nothing in this world is certain, there is a way to consistently win: try a bunch of stuff, see what gets traction, and iterate. Kinode empowers Meme Deck to do precisely that.

What we’re working on right now goes something like this:

  • Connect a Kinode-powered bot to your Twitter feed
  • Go to sleep. Wake up.
  • Your KinoBot has trawled Twitter for the latest news or memes currently trending.
  • Your KinoBot has interfaced with Meme Deck to automatically generate images and captions based on these stories or memes.
  • Your KinoBot displays all these possibilities to you, possibly Tinder-style. Swipe right on the ones you like, left of the ones you don’t like.
  • Post your memes to Twitter.
  • Get the Elon retweet.
  • Twitter stardom.
  • Your Kinode notes which memes you disliked and uses this information to better tune its suggestions going forward.
  • Repeat this cycle until you are a Twitter god, get lambo + qt3.14 azn gf.

This is amazing stuff, but the possibilities for backend Kinode integration are endless.

We’re going to be doing chat, badges, meme-making collaboration mode complete with shared canvas, and who-knows-what after that? Gamification? Rewards and incentives? Feedback systems? WE WILL NOT STOP.

Let us know what you want to see. Or better yet, let us know what you want to build.
