TARS is the AI executive assistant layer built into the Questflow platform, which describes itself as a decentralized AI agent swarm economy. Rather than automating a single task, TARS interprets natural-language instructions and coordinates a swarm of specialized AI agents to complete multi-step workflows spanning different tools and platforms. For example, a user can ask TARS to fetch the top GitHub AI projects daily and push them to a Notion page, and TARS automatically routes the work through a GitHub Agent, a Schedule Agent, and a Notion Agent without any manual wiring. Questflow's underlying architecture is built around a Multi-Agent Orchestration Protocol (MAOP) with four distinct layers: a Decision Layer that parses user intent and dispatches agent swarms, a Communication Layer for inter-agent coordination, an Action Layer where tasks are executed, and an Onchain Layer that records operations on a blockchain for transparency and verifiability. TARS sits at the Decision Layer and serves as the conversational interface to the entire stack. The platform positions itself at the intersection of AI automation and Web3. Agents on the marketplace can be deployed with crypto wallets (Coinbase CDP wallets on the Base network), allowing builders to set their own pricing and earn passively when their agents are used. Users fund usage by depositing USDC into an Agent Wallet, paying only for what they consume with no subscriptions or long-term commitments. Questflow recommends depositing at least 0.5 USDC to get started. Questflow was founded in 2022 by Carney Chu and Bob Xu and is headquartered in San Francisco. In July 2025 the company raised a $6.5 million seed round led by CyberFund, with participation from Delphi Labs, HashKey Capital, Animoca Brands, White Star Capital, and others, and received grants from Aptos, Coinbase Dev, and Virtuals.io. As of mid-2026 the platform remains active and is being marketed under the tagline 'The AI Agent Economy for Every Workflow.'
