# vc-ai-infra-scout
## When To Use
Use this skill when the user wants to discover early-stage companies, funding rounds, founders, and investor theses across the AI-infrastructure ecosystem. Covers four sub-theses:
- **AI Infrastructure** — inference runtimes, GPU orchestration, training stacks, vector/data infra
- **Crypto-AI / Decentralized AI** — on-chain AI agents, DePIN-for-compute, distributed GPU/ML
- **Robotics / Embodied AI** — robotics foundation models, humanoid/embodied-AI, sim-to-real, actuation/sensor stacks
- **Agentic Payments** — agent commerce, x402/stablecoin agent settlement, agentic-payment rails
## Workflow
1. Install: `selat skill install vc-ai-infra-scout`
2. Run with thesis override: `selat skill run vc-ai-infra-scout --thesis "robotics foundation model" --twitterQuery "robotics foundation model" --fundraisingQuery "robotics startup raised seed" --investorQuery "robotics VC partner" --domain "modal.com"`
3. The skill compiles each of 9 steps into `selat-pay` calls and returns a JSON response.
4. Synthesize the 9 steps into a VC intelligence memo (tiered funding map, investor thesis extraction, geographic blindspots, strategic recommendations).
## Pipeline Steps
| Step | Source | Rail | Purpose |
|------|--------|------|---------|
