Autonomous AI Agents for Multi-Platform Social Media Marketing: A Simultaneous Deployment Study

Abstract

This exploratory proof-of-concept study investigated the simultaneous deployment of autonomous, persona-driven Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents across multiple social media platforms using the ElizaOS framework. We developed three platform-specific agents with seven-layer character architectures and deployed them on Twitter/X, Discord, and Telegram for 18 days. The system processed 5389 interactions while gathering feedback from 28 volunteer participants. Addressing three research questions, we found that: (1) automation effectiveness was platform-dependent, with direct support platforms (Telegram, Discord) rated more useful than broadcast-oriented Twitter/X; (2) character design impact depended primarily on platform-persona alignment rather than architectural sophistication; and (3) technical performance showed platform-specific patterns, with median storage times ranging from 9.0 milliseconds (Twitter/X) to 61.5 milliseconds (Telegram) and high variability across all platforms. A notable finding was what we term the “Discord Paradox”—high quality ratings (4.05/5) but lowest preference (8.7%), suggesting platform familiarity and accessibility influence adoption more than agent quality. While the deployment demonstrated technical feasibility and revealed distinct user dynamics across platforms, the findings indicate that platform-specific optimization may be more effective than universal approaches. This exploratory study advances understanding of multi-platform agent deployment for marketing automation, identifying behavioral patterns and platform-specific dynamics that offer testable hypotheses for future systematic research.

1. Introduction

Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents have evolved significantly, progressing from simple rule-based systems to sophisticated, self-learning entities. This evolution, spanning from early expert systems and decision trees to the rise of machine learning, culminating in the development of deep reinforcement learning, has enabled AI agents to operate in complex environments with minimal human intervention [1,2]. Advancements in large language models (LLMs) and generative AI have significantly enhanced AI agent capabilities, enabling sophisticated content generation, nuanced sentiment analysis, dynamic adaptation to user preferences, and data-driven strategic decision-making [3,4]. As AI agents gain increasing autonomy, they are positioned as powerful tools across diverse sectors, particularly in social media marketing [5].

The application of AI agents in social media has become increasingly prominent. These agents can enhance marketing strategies by automating tasks such as content creation, targeted advertising, sentiment analysis, and community management [6,7]. AI agents can identify emerging trends, personalize user experiences, and optimize campaign performance in real time [8,9]. However, developing and deploying effective AI agents for social media marketing requires robust frameworks that can handle the dynamic nature of social media platforms and integrate effectively with existing systems [10,11].

One emerging solution is ElizaOS—a nascent, TypeScript-based framework in active development for Web3 and blockchain environment [12,13]. To address the challenges of platform dynamism and integration, ElizaOS employs a modular client-package architecture. This design enables seamless cross-platform deployment (Twitter/X, Discord, Telegram, and others) through standardized interfaces for message handling, media processing, and platform-specific features [14]. Figure 1 illustrates its core components and their relationships. Through its pluggable clients and plugins, ElizaOS supports direct Application Programming Interface (API) interactions, automated workflows, and error handling—enabling the rapid development of autonomous agents that broadcast, converse, and curate across diverse digital channels [12,13].

While AI agents have demonstrated their potential in domains such as finance [15,16], blockchain [17,18], healthcare [19,20], and customer service [21,22], their application to social media marketing presents distinct opportunities and challenges [23,24]. The rapidly shifting environment of social platforms demands AI agents that are both autonomous and capable of real-time learning and adaptation [25].

This proof-of-concept (PoC) study examines autonomous agents for social media marketing using the ElizaOS framework through deployment across three platforms: Twitter/X, Discord, and Telegram. We document these agents’ technical performance in real social media contexts while identifying patterns in user engagement and platform-specific effectiveness. The implementation explores the technical feasibility of multi-platform AI agent deployment while uncovering behavioral patterns for future controlled investigations. Our study provides empirical evidence for the viability of multi-platform deployment in social media contexts while establishing a foundation for systematic research on autonomous marketing agents

2. Research Background

We review prior work on AI agents—their evolution, applications, and development frameworks—to set the stage for our contributions in social media marketing automation.

2.1. Evolution of AI Agents

The concept of AI agents has evolved dramatically with today’s autonomous, learning-driven entities representing a significant departure from their historical predecessors. This progression can be traced through several key phases:

• Early Expert Systems and Symbolic AI (1950s–1970s): This era relied on predefined rules and knowledge bases to make decisions [26]. ELIZA [27], created in 1966, represents an important early step in interactive AI, simulating conversation by matching user inputs to pre-defined responses. ELIZA’s design was inspired by the Turing test [28], which aimed to assess a machine’s ability to exhibit intelligent behavior indistinguishable from that of a human. Although ELIZA could not truly understand language, it demonstrated the potential of machines to engage in human-like dialogue, paving the way for future advancements in conversational AI [29,30,31,32] and serving as the namesake for the framework used in this study.
• Machine Learning Emergence (1980s–2000s): The rise of machine learning (ML) marked a significant turning point in the development of AI agents [33]. ML algorithms, such as support vector machines, random forests, and gradient boosting trees, allowed these systems to learn from data without explicit programming, enabling them to perform tasks like classification and prediction [34,35,36]. This data-driven approach enabled agents to mimic human cognitive processes and adapt to new information, leading to more sophisticated and versatile applications across various domains [37,38].
• Deep Learning Revolution (2010s–Present): Deep learning—driven by artificial neural networks—has transformed AI [33]. These models have achieved remarkable performance in complex tasks, including image recognition [39]. Advances with convolutional networks have enabled breakthroughs in processing images, video, and audio [40]. In natural language processing, transformer-based architectures have revolutionized text generation and understanding [3,4]. Deep learning has also enhanced reinforcement learning (RL), enabling agents to learn directly from high-dimensional sensory inputs [41], empowering agents to learn optimal strategies in dynamic settings, as shown in game-playing and robotics benchmarks [42,43].

Today’s autonomous agents represent the convergence of these technologies in practical applications. LLMs such as ChatGPT (GPT-4o) now generate and interpret text with unprecedented sophistication [44,45], enabling conversational agents to engage users with human-like dialogue [46]. Current AI agents exhibit high autonomy, perceiving their environments, making decisions, and executing actions with minimal human oversight [47]. By combining deep neural networks with reinforcement learning techniques—particularly deep reinforcement learning (DRL) and hierarchical RL—these agents navigate complex, dynamic settings [48,49,50]. Applications range from autonomous driving to continuous strategy refinement in varied domains [51,52,53]. This evolution provides the technical foundation for automated social media marketing, enabling agents to manage tasks, engage users, and optimize strategies in dynamic platform environments [54].

2.2. AI Agents in Social Media Marketing

While the technical evolution described above provides the groundwork for AI agents, their effective application in social media marketing aligns with established theoretical frameworks. Relationship marketing theory emphasizes building trust and commitment through ongoing engagement [55,56,57], providing conceptual foundation for platform-specific agent design. Media richness theory [58] and related media selection research [59] further inform how different communication channels suit different message types for multi-platform deployment strategies.

These marketing and communication perspectives complement human–computer interaction principles for agent deployment: balancing automation with user control [9,60], adapting interaction design to platform affordances [61,62], and maintaining transparency in AI-mediated interactions [63,64]. Together, these foundations guide our evaluation of application domains and framework selection.

AI agents are increasingly applied to automate routine tasks, deliver personalized content, and optimize campaign performance across social platforms [65]. Four primary application areas stand out:

• Content Creation and Curation: Automating both the generation of custom content through human-AI collaboration [66] and the selective promotion of high-quality material helps maintain a consistent brand voice while ensuring relevance to each audience segment [67,68,69].
• Targeted Advertising: Leveraging user data for personalized audience segmentation [70] and real-time ad optimization boosts efficiency and engagement, underpinning modern programmatic advertising strategies [71,72,73,74].
• Sentiment Analysis: Continuously monitoring public conversations to gauge brand perception through opinion mining techniques [75,76] enables dynamic recalibration of messaging and campaign direction, ensuring alignment with consumer attitudes [77,78,79,80].
• Community Management: Automating customer service responses through chatbots [81] and implementing algorithmic content moderation helps maintain community standards while sustaining platform engagement [68,82,83,84].

These capabilities empower marketers with real-time personalization, data-driven decision-making, and scalable oversight. However, implementing these functions cohesively across multiple platforms requires frameworks that can bridge distinct technical architectures and social dynamics—leading to the development of various AI agent frameworks examined in the following section.

2.3. AI Agent Development Frameworks

We evaluated frameworks according to four essential dimensions:

• Direct Social Media Integration: Native connectors for major platforms (Twitter/X, Discord, and Telegram) enabling bidirectional user interaction [85,86,87].
• Modular Design and Customization: Architecture supporting plug-in modification of capabilities without core logic changes [88,89,90,91].
• Web3 Compatibility: Blockchain integration for decentralized applications and scalable architecture [92,93,94].
• Comprehensive Functional Coverage: Support for the full range of applications identified in Section 2.2 while accommodating multiple AI models [91,95,96,97].

Framework selection was based on reviewing official documentation, GitHub repositories, and implementation examples as of June 2025. This qualitative evaluation guided our framework selection rather than serving as a definitive comparison. We examined eight representative frameworks grouped by primary focus, revealing fundamental trade-offs between platform coverage, development complexity, and architectural flexibility. Among these, ElizaOS [98] provides native multi-platform connectors (Twitter/X, Discord, Telegram) with modular TypeScript architecture and deep Web3 integration [13].

Several frameworks prioritize social media integration with varying coverage. G.A.M.E [99] offers low-code development but focuses primarily on Twitter/X. Heurist [100] features decentralized architecture but operates within a broader compute platform rather than as a standalone Software Development Kit (SDK). ZerePy [101] combines Python accessibility with blockchain capabilities but emphasizes text-based interactions over multimedia campaigns. In contrast, other frameworks emphasize orchestration over platform-specific features. FastAgency [102] provides OpenAPI-based orchestration but requires custom API specifications. CrewAI [103] excels at multi-agent coordination for enterprise workflows but lacks native social media connectors. Specialized frameworks include RIG [104], a Rust-based library for general-purpose LLM workflows, and REI [105], an experimental AI-blockchain integration framework with limited documentation.

Table 1. Qualitative evaluation of selected AI agent frameworks *.

Framework	Social Media Integration	Modularity	Web3 Compatibility	Functionality
ElizaOS	Very High	Very High	Very High	Very High
G.A.M.E.	Medium	High	High	High
Heurist	Very High	Medium	Very High	Medium
ZerePy	Medium	High	Very High	Very High
FastAgency	Low	High	Low	High
CrewAI	Low	Medium	Low	High
RIG	Low	High	Low	Medium
REI	Low	Medium	Medium	Medium

* Framework suitability varies by use case and requirements.

summarizes this qualitative evaluation across key dimensions.

ElizaOS was selected based on our specific deployment requirements rather than abstract superiority. Our use case required simultaneous multi-platform deployment with distinct agent personas tailored to each platform’s communication affordances—requirements that narrowed the viable options to those offering comprehensive native platform support. Platform-specific persona adaptation further required modular architecture supporting independent character configurations, a capability supported by the framework’s extensible character design system. This combination of native multi-platform integration and production-ready stability distinguished it as meeting all critical requirements without significant trade-offs.

3. Research Design and Methodology

3.1. Study Design and Research Questions

We detail here the exploratory methodology used to investigate initial deployment of autonomous AI agents for social media marketing. The PoC was designed and deployed using the ElizaOS framework to explore automated marketing capabilities for CEO Business School, a business education institution focused on AI and blockchain. This institution was selected as our test case due to its technology-focused target audience, providing a suitable context for testing AI-driven engagement across social media platforms. The study addressed the following research questions (RQs):

• RQ1: To what extent can AI agents automate social media marketing across multiple platforms in this early implementation?
• RQ2: What patterns emerge in how agent character design influences user experience across different social media platforms?
• RQ3: What technical challenges and opportunities arise when deploying agents across multiple platforms?

These questions explore methodological approaches underexplored in existing LLM-agent research through continuous simultaneous multi-platform deployment. This design enables direct platform comparison and provides initial evidence for operational patterns difficult to observe in single-platform or controlled laboratory settings [106,107]. Consistent with these design goals, this proof-of-concept study prioritizes technical validation through real-world operational testing. We focus on demonstrating initial feasibility through actual deployment while gathering preliminary user feedback to inform future systematic studies. This exploratory approach emphasizes ecological validity and pattern identification over experimental control.

3.2. Platform-Specific Agent Design

Three agents were deployed with configurations tailored to each platform’s unique affordances: the Twitter/X agent for public engagement through real-time interactions, the Discord agent for community support and learning facilitation, and the Telegram agent for private, personalized information delivery. These agents were implemented through a seven-layer character architecture detailed in Section 4.

3.2.1. Twitter/X Agent

For Twitter/X, we implemented a dynamic, concise, and creative character to leverage the platform’s public broadcast nature for brand engagement [108,109]. Topic monitoring (trending topics and relevant hashtags) was implemented via ElizaOS’s Twitter/X client, using its stateful context to maintain conversation history for coherent follow-ups [13]. The agent varied output formats—single tweets, quote retweets, and threaded discussions—to probe audience response patterns. To test engagement strategies, the agent executed proactive mentions, direct replies, Q&A prompts, and lightweight community challenges; it also retweeted pertinent industry updates and answered follower queries [110].

3.2.2. Discord Agent

The Discord agent created a welcoming community environment within a Discord server created for the test institution, focusing on member interaction and connection strategies [111,112]. Management functions were implemented through ElizaOS’s Discord integration, enabling educational dialogue and community-oriented recommendation [13]. To test learning enhancement approaches, the agent provided responsive support by answering member queries, recommending relevant courses and workshops, and facilitating discussions about learning paths and interests [113]. These functions—responsive member support and personalized content recommendations—tested the agent’s ability to support community engagement and learning facilitation on Discord [114].

3.2.3. Telegram Agent

The Telegram agent leveraged the platform’s private direct messaging capabilities for personalized communication with individual community members [115,116,117]. The agent utilized Telegram’s bot capabilities for 1:1 automated responses available 24/7, with implementation through ElizaOS’s integration with the Telegram Bot API [13]. Through these functions—private messaging, continuous availability, and automated responses—the agent tested its ability to provide secure, personalized information delivery through Telegram’s encrypted environment [118].

The configurations and implemented functionalities for these three platform-specific agents are summarized in

Table 2. Summary of AI agent configurations.

Platform	Configuration	Implemented Functions
Twitter/X	Dynamic, concise; public broadcast	- Monitor trending topics. - Execute mentions, replies, Q&A prompts. - Share varied content formats. - Retweet industry updates.
Discord	Supportive; community facilitation	- Provide responsive member support. - Recommend courses and workshops. - Facilitate learning discussions.
Telegram	Professional; private messaging	- Deliver 1:1 automated responses. - Provide personalized updates 24/7. - Answer queries via direct messages.

.

3.3. Technological Implementation and Deployment

The PoC was implemented using the official ElizaOS starter repository [119] as a foundation, with custom modifications for production monitoring and multi-agent coordination. The deployment employed the ElizaOS framework (version 0.1.9) with Node.js (v22+) runtime and PM2 process management for continuous operation and automated failure recovery. LLM routing was handled through OpenRouter API, enabling dynamic provider selection among Anthropic Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Google Gemini Flash 1.5 based on task complexity. Each agent operated as an independent process with isolated memory management (1000 MB limit per agent) and automated restart policies to ensure operational stability. Platform connectivity was established through ElizaOS native clients for Twitter/X, Discord, and Telegram, with authentication configured according to each platform’s requirements.

To evaluate technical performance, we implemented a monitoring architecture capturing interaction volume, storage latency (memory creation processing time), and platform-specific performance patterns. A real-time dashboard provided continuous visualization with 30 s updates, while Comma-Separated Values (CSV) logging enabled subsequent statistical analysis.

The three agents operated continuously for 18 days (14–31 July 2025) on a single macOS server, with automated error detection via Discord webhook notifications and periodic manual log review. Complete technical specifications are detailed in Appendix A, with implementation source code available at https://github.com/hammerbaki/elizaos-social-media-agents (accessed on 6 October 2025).

3.4. User Feedback Collection and Analysis

To complement technical metrics, we gathered anonymous user feedback during the 18-day deployment. Volunteer testers (n = 28) recruited through convenience sampling with the sole inclusion requirement of ability and willingness to access at least one of the three platforms completed a 20-item feedback form (see Appendix B) designed to capture system impressions, structured into five domains:

• Demographic categories (age range, professional sector, platform familiarity, AI tool experience)
• Usage patterns (interaction frequency with each agent, feature priorities)
• Agent evaluation (concept clarity, conversation quality, brand alignment, utility)
• Marketing effectiveness assessment (5 dimensions using 5-point Likert scales)
• Open-ended suggestions for system improvement

This evaluation focused on system performance and interface usability, collecting only non-identifying demographic categories and software interaction metrics. Performance metrics were analyzed only from participants who reported at least one system interaction with the respective agent. As server-side interaction logs were not implemented during this deployment, self-reported usage served as our indicator of system engagement. This segmentation resulted in varying sample sizes across platforms (Twitter/X: n = 19, Discord: n = 12, Telegram: n = 20). Marketing effectiveness assessments were collected from all 28 participants regardless of platform interaction.

Quantitative feedback was analyzed using descriptive statistics to explore initial system performance across dimensions. Qualitative responses were reviewed to identify operational patterns and potential improvement areas. This convenience sample approach without random assignment, control conditions, pre-registered protocols, or formal power analysis reflects the study’s focus on feasibility demonstration rather than hypothesis testing or causal inference.

4. Agent Character Architecture

The seven-layer character architecture developed for three platform-specific AI agents using the ElizaOS framework employs modular components to construct each agent’s character (Figure 2). The agents are configured through JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) files serving as blueprints for fundamental personality and interaction style. This character configuration follows a standardized schema defined by the framework [120], composed of seven modular components: Bio, Lore, Post Examples, Message Examples, Topics, Adjectives, and Style.

The architecture employs modular design principles, where independent, self-contained components are coupled together to simulate complex, coherent personas [121]. This approach enables both robust character consistency and the flexibility to introduce variation by modifying or selectively combining modules. These components collectively define the agents’ persona structure, behavioral logic, and communication style [13], ensuring cohesive and recognizable online presence.

Post Examples and Message Examples were initially generated through prompting of LLMs, then manually refined to ensure platform-specific concept alignment. All component content underwent refinement during the 18-day deployment based on observed agent behaviors, particularly to address initial response monotony.

4.1. Defining the Agent Persona Layer: Bio

The Bio component functions as the agent’s digital profile, establishing core persona through a compact, high-level summary of identity, role, and personality. This aligns with established principles of online identity management where concise profiles shape initial user perception and build coherent character [122,123,124]. Within our framework, the Bio anchors agent identity by defining background and core expertise domains [125]—in this implementation, institutional affiliation and expertise areas like AI and blockchain. It simultaneously provides language model grounding cues for persona-consistent responses [126,127] while enabling dynamic response framing across different contexts without compromising character consistency [124]. The system employs modular design where independent units can be selectively combined for variation while maintaining coherence [121,128]. Each Bio consists of modular sentences encapsulating identity, expertise, and value proposition. Platform-specific adaptations included Twitter/X’s brevity and wit, Discord’s supportive mentorship, and Telegram’s focus on secure information clarity. Complete Bio configurations are presented in Appendix C (

Table A1. Persona descriptions of AI agents (Bio).

).

4.2. Narrative Function Layer: Lore

Complementing the Bio’s static profile, the Lore component provides the persona with a backstory explaining the agent’s origin, purpose, and operational context. This serves as a foundation for behavioral patterns and motivations [129,130]. The Lore layer provides contextual grounding that influences response generation consistency [131,132,133], while enriching the agent’s persona through historical context that shapes responses to novel prompts beyond explicit examples [134,135,136]. This narrative foundation also deepens user engagement by grounding the persona in coherent storylines [137,138]. The Twitter/X agent’s Lore emphasized real-time trend analysis; Discord’s focused on facilitating peer-to-peer learning and support; and Telegram’s established its identity as the secure source of institutional information. Complete narrative backstories are detailed in Appendix C (

Table A2. Narrative and operational background of AI agents (Lore).

Platform	Lore
Twitter/X	“Designed to monitor emerging business technology trends and translate them into practical learning opportunities.”, “Specializes in interactive content formats including polls, threads, and real-time discussions to foster community learning.”, “Powered by real-time market analysis and a passion for making complex business concepts accessible and actionable.”
Discord	“Guides students and members across Discord learning channels focused on business innovation.”, “Promotes interactive learning, support, and peer mentoring in financial and technological literacy.”, “Hosts AMA sessions, knowledge challenges, and token-earning activities.”, “Moderates specialized channels, initiates thought-provoking Q&A sessions, and organizes quizzes and challenges to foster peer-to-peer learning and community growth.”
Telegram	“Created to streamline communication for enrolled students and prospects.”, “Specialist in program schedules, token updates, and event reminders.”, “Ensures clear, secure, and personalized messaging with privacy controls.”, “Leveraging Telegram’s robust bot API, this agent broadcasts clear and professional updates, offers personalized guidance, and uses access controls to maintain secure communication tailored to user needs.”

).

4.3. Communicative Simulation Layer: Post Examples

The Post Examples layer applies in-context learning, using concrete exemplars to guide the language model’s behavior and output patterns [139,140,141,142]. This component defines the agent’s public communication through demonstrative posts tailored to each platform’s norms. These examples establish content structure and formatting patterns [143,144], while demonstrating the configured persona [145,146] and embedding functional social actions such as posting announcements or reminders [147,148]. The Twitter/X agent’s Post Examples prioritized impactful, hashtag-rich content for public broadcasting. Discord and Telegram agents operated in response-only mode during this PoC to avoid disrupting users at unscheduled times; their Post Examples were designed for community-oriented dialogue (Discord) and professional announcements (Telegram) but remained inactive to ensure user control over interaction timing. Complete PostExample configurations are available in Appendix C (

Table A3. Representative public posts and announcements (Post Examples).

4.4. Conversational Simulation Layer: Message Examples

A fundamental distinction exists between unidirectional broadcasts and interactive, dialogic exchanges characterized by turn-taking [149,150]. The ElizaOS architecture reflects this: Post Examples governs public broadcasts, while Message Examples models agent behavior in direct conversational contexts such as DMs or @replies. These examples train agents to handle user queries, provide personalized assistance, and maintain persona in interactive dialogue, which requires different approaches than public posting [151]. This layer provides dialogue act modeling through exemplars for common conversational turns—greetings, clarifications, and acknowledgements [152]—while supporting query handling simulation that demonstrates role-consistent responses to user requests [153]. It also models appropriate dialogue patterns for private interactions, demonstrating how agents should structure responses—such as Discord’s encouraging follow-ups or Telegram’s structured information delivery—in one-to-one conversations [154]. Twitter/X samples demonstrate concise, hashtag-rich responses; Discord samples demonstrate supportive handling of user questions; while Telegram examples focus on clear, structured information delivery. Complete conversational exemplars are available in Appendix C (

4.5. Thematic Scope and Personality Anchors: Topics and Adjectives

The Topics and Adjectives layers work in tandem to define content boundaries and expressive characteristics. The Topics layer defines the agent’s semantic scope—what it knows and discusses—aligning output with its designated knowledge base [155,156]. The Adjectives layer refines persona by applying descriptive traits that shape the agent’s expression [157,158]. Detailed configurations are presented in Appendix C (

Table A7. (a) Topics configuration for each platform-specific AI agent; (b) Adjectives configuration for each platform-specific AI agent.

(a)
Platform	Topics
Twitter/X	AI trends, Blockchain applications, Financial literacy, Digital transformation, Micro-learning, CEO TOKEN, Executive education, EdTech innovation

).

4.6. Stylistic Modulation Layer: Style

The Style layer defines each agent’s linguistic tone and mannerisms across three distinct modalities: All (universal guidelines), Chat (real-time interaction), and Post (public broadcasts), as demonstrated in the ElizaOS character configuration examples [159]. This component enables linguistic adaptation across different interaction contexts, matching format to interaction type [160,161] while maintaining core identity across tonal variations [162]. Detailed stylistic configurations across these modalities are presented in Appendix C (

Table A8. (a) Universal style guidelines (All modality) by platform; (b) Chat-specific style guidelines by platform; (c) Post-specific style guidelines by platform.

Complete character configurations—representing the core design framework of this study—are presented in Appendix C (Figure A1, Table A1, Table A2, Table A3, Table A4, Table A5, Table A6, Table A7 and Table A8), with supporting technical implementation specifications documented in Appendix A. Source code is publicly available at https://github.com/hammerbaki/elizaos-social-media-agents (assessed on 6 October 2025). The following section presents the empirical results from this deployment.

5. Results

Findings from the proof-of-concept deployment are organized into a technical performance assessment (Section 5.1), an analysis of user feedback (Section 5.2), and agent behavioral demonstrations (Section 5.3). Together, these results provide preliminary answers to our research questions concerning the agents’ automation capabilities (RQ1), the character design influence (RQ2), and technical challenges (RQ3).

5.1. Technical Performance

5.1.1. System Overview and Platform Usage

During the 18-day deployment period (14–31 July 2025), the multi-agent system processed 5389 platform-identified interactions, where each interaction represents a single message storage event. The system maintained an average storage time of 24.14 milliseconds (ms) (measuring memory creation processing), demonstrating adequate memory management for this test deployment. The system exhibited distinct usage patterns across platforms during the test period (Figure 3). Twitter/X processed 4211 interactions (78.1%), Discord captured 462 interactions (8.6%), and Telegram recorded 716 interactions (13.3%).

5.1.2. Storage Performance Characteristics

Storage time distributions (Figure 4a,b) indicated that most operations completed within 50 ms. For visualization clarity, figures focus on typical operations by bounding displays at 200–250 ms; all statistical tables include complete data. Statistical performance analysis (

Table 3. Storage time performance statistics by platform (milliseconds).

Platform	Count (n)	Mean (ms)	Median (ms)	SD (ms)	CV (%)
Twitter/X	4211	14.1	9.0	25.4	180.0
Discord	462	28.9	11.0	34.2	118.3
Telegram	716	79.9	61.5	97.7	122.3

SD = Standard Deviation; CV = Coefficient of Variation (%).

) revealed that Twitter/X achieved the fastest median storage time (9.0 ms), Discord showed intermediate values (median: 11.0 ms), and Telegram had the slowest median time (61.5 ms). Notably, the coefficients of variation exceeded 100% for all platforms, indicating substantial performance heterogeneity: Twitter/X showed the highest variability (CV = 180.0%), followed by Telegram (CV = 122.3%) and Discord (CV = 118.3%).

5.1.3. Message Length and Latency Correlation

Correlation analysis was performed to examine the relationship between message length and storage latency across platforms. The scatter plot (Figure 5a) displays the distribution of data points within typical operating ranges, while Figure 5b presents linear regression trend lines calculated from all data points for each platform.

Linear regression analysis (

Table 4. Linear regression analysis of message length versus storage time relationship.

Platform	Count (n)	Slope [95% CI]	Intercept [95% CI]	R2	p-Value	Residual SD (ms)
Twitter/X	4211	0.0144 [0.0050, 0.0239]	12.48 [11.16, 13.81]	0.002	0.003	25.42
Discord	462	0.0225 [0.0189, 0.0260]	15.26 [11.79, 18.73]	0.250	<0.001	29.61
Telegram	716	−0.0436 [−0.0568, −0.0305]	96.48 [87.90, 105.06]	0.056	<0.001	94.85

) revealed varying relationships across platforms. Twitter/X showed negligible correlation (R² = 0.002, p = 0.003), while Telegram exhibited a weak negative correlation (R² = 0.056, p < 0.001). Discord demonstrated a moderate positive correlation (R² = 0.250, p < 0.001), with message length explaining 25% of variance in storage times for this platform. For Discord’s moderate correlation, the slope of 0.0225 ms per character [95% CI: 0.0189, 0.0260] indicates that typical message length variations (50–300 characters) produce storage time differences of approximately 5–7 ms. The high residual standard deviations across all platforms (25.4–94.9 ms) indicate that factors beyond message length account for the majority of storage time variation.

5.1.4. Daily Interaction Patterns

The deployment exhibited substantial day-to-day variation in interaction volumes (

Table 5. Daily interaction counts by platform during deployment period.

Date	Twitter/X	Discord	Telegram	Total
July 14	127	40	58	225
July 15	93	11	8	112
July 16	98	57	72	227
July 17	506	80	69	655
July 18	122	20	19	161
July 19	165	58	84	307
July 20	288	42	51	381
July 21	123	35	36	194
July 22	564	31	25	620
July 23	256	10	13	279
July 24	530	23	60	613
July 25	269	10	48	327
July 26	138	2	25	165
July 27	212	2	25	239
July 28	49	0	15	64
July 29	194	4	12	210
July 30	321	5	37	363
July 31	156	32	59	247
Mean ± SD	233.9 ± 156.0	25.7 ± 23.0	39.8 ± 23.5	299.4 ± 172.1

). Twitter/X showed the highest absolute variability (mean: 233.9 ± 156.0 interactions/day), with daily counts ranging from 49 to 564 interactions. Discord (mean: 25.7 ± 23.0) and Telegram (mean: 39.8 ± 23.5) maintained lower daily volumes with proportionally high variability. Notable activity spikes occurred on July 17, 22, and 24 for Twitter/X (506, 564, and 530 interactions, respectively), while Discord and Telegram maintained relatively consistent engagement patterns throughout the deployment period. The deployment captured both high-activity periods (e.g., July 17 with 655 total interactions across all platforms; July 22 with 620 interactions) and lower-engagement days (e.g., July 28 with 64 total interactions).

5.1.5. Temporal Stability Analysis

Visual inspection of the 18-day deployment period (Figure 6) showed no obvious systematic trends in storage times for any platform. Twitter/X and Discord maintained consistently low storage times throughout the period, while Telegram exhibited higher values with greater variability. The high coefficients of variation observed earlier (CV > 100% for all platforms, Table 3) persisted throughout the deployment period.

5.2. User Assessment

Note: All user feedback was collected from a small, exploratory convenience sample as detailed in Section 3.4. The following results are presented as preliminary observations to inform future work and are not suitable for causal inference or generalization beyond this sample.

We collected operational feedback from 28 volunteer testers during the 18-day exploratory deployment (14–31 July 2025). Testers were predominantly professionals aged 40–49 (50.0%) and 30–39 (35.7%) from finance/investment (28.6%) and IT/technology (25.0%) sectors. Self-reported AI proficiency was distributed across beginner (14.3%, minimal AI tool knowledge), intermediate (42.9%, occasional AI tool usage), advanced (35.7%, frequent AI tool usage), and expert (7.1%, professional AI tool utilization) levels.

5.2.1. Platform-Specific Engagement Patterns

Analysis of self-reported interactions revealed distinct patterns in platform engagement. Prior platform usage experience varied across our test group (Twitter/X: 64.3%, Discord: 28.6%, Telegram: 75.0%). Within this limited test group, interaction rates showed similar variation (

Table 6. Self-reported user engagement patterns by platform.

Platform	Engagement Rate	Interaction Frequency
Twitter/X	19/28 (67.9%)	1–2 times: 8, 3–5 times: 11
Discord	12/28 (42.9%)	1–2 times: 3, 3–5 times: 7, 6–10 times: 2
Telegram	20/28 (71.4%)	1–2 times: 4, 3–5 times: 7, 6–10 times: 7, 10+ times: 2

): Twitter/X (67.9%, n = 19), Discord (42.9%, n = 12), and Telegram (71.4%, n = 20). Discord had both the lowest engagement rate and the lowest prior platform experience, potentially explaining its limited adoption. Interaction frequency distributions also suggested platform-specific patterns, with Telegram showing higher sustained engagement (7 testers with 6–10 interactions, 2 with 10+ interactions).

5.2.2. Agent Performance Assessment

Following the methodology described in Section 3.4, performance ratings are presented from testers who provided evaluations for each respective agent: Twitter/X (n = 19), Discord (n = 11; one user who engaged did not provide ratings), and Telegram (n = 20). Performance scores across four operational dimensions are presented in

Table 7. Agent performance ratings from testers reporting interaction.

Agent & Criterion	Mean ± SD	n
Twitter/X
Concept Clarity	3.05 ± 0.85	19
Conversation Quality	3.39 ± 1.09	18 *
Brand Alignment	3.37 ± 0.90	19
Future Usefulness	3.63 ± 1.12	19
Discord
Concept Clarity	3.91 ± 0.94	11
Conversation Quality	4.00 ± 0.63	11
Brand Alignment	4.18 ± 0.75	11
Future Usefulness	4.09 ± 0.94	11
Telegram
Concept Clarity	3.85 ± 0.99	20
Conversation Quality	4.20 ± 0.83	20
Brand Alignment	3.90 ± 1.02	20
Future Usefulness	4.30 ± 0.80	20

* One Twitter/X tester did not provide conversation quality rating.

. Overall mean performance scores across all four dimensions were 3.36 for Twitter/X, 4.05 for Discord, and 4.06 for Telegram.

Discord and Telegram users reported similarly high performance scores, with all individual dimensions exceeding 3.8. Discord showed the highest ratings for Concept Clarity (3.91) and Brand Alignment (4.18), though this observation is based on a small subsample (n = 11). Twitter/X showed lower performance ratings in our test sample (overall mean 3.36), particularly in Concept Clarity (3.05) and Brand Alignment (3.37). Telegram achieved the highest scores for Conversation Quality (4.20) and Future Usefulness (4.30), combining relatively high accessibility (71.4% engagement rate, Table 6) with strong performance ratings.

5.2.3. Agent Preference and Qualitative Insights

Among the 23 testers who made a comparative choice for most effective agent, 56.5% (n = 13) [95% CI: 36.8%, 74.4%] chose Telegram, 34.8% (n = 8) [95% CI: 18.8%, 55.1%] selected Twitter/X, and 8.7% (n = 2) [95% CI: 2.4%, 26.8%] preferred Discord. Given the small sample size, confidence intervals were calculated using the Wilson score method [163,164] rather than normal approximation. Analysis of open-ended responses revealed insights into platform-specific strengths.

Platform-specific patterns emerged in the qualitative feedback. The Telegram agent, most preferred (56.5%) with high engagement (71.4%, Table 6) and Future Usefulness scores (4.30, Table 7), was valued for personalization and accessibility. The Twitter/X agent (34.8% preference) received feedback emphasizing its marketing reach and broad user base. The Discord agent presented an interesting paradox: despite lowest preference (8.7%) its engaged users provided high performance ratings (overall mean 4.05, Table 7), praising rapid response capabilities. Discord also had the lowest prior platform experience among testers (28.6%).

5.2.4. Thematic Patterns in Preference Rationales

To explore patterns in the underlying reasoning, we examined common themes in the 23 preference rationales. Five themes emerged (

Table 8. Thematic distribution of agent preference rationales (n = 23).

Theme	n	%	Distribution by Agent
Platform Suitability	12	52.2	Twitter/X (6), Telegram (6)
Interaction Quality	6	26.1	Telegram (4), Twitter/X (1), Discord (1)
Community Dynamics	2	8.7	Discord (1), Telegram (1)
User Preference	2	8.7	Telegram (2)
Agent Distinctiveness	1	4.3	Twitter/X (1)

), with Platform Suitability (n = 12, 52.2%) as the dominant pattern.

Platform Suitability manifested differently across agents: Twitter/X supporters emphasized marketing reach (“many users,” “public platform with greater impact”), while Telegram advocates focused on platform accessibility and features (“1:1 messaging,” “easiest to access and use continuously,” “familiar environment”).

Interaction Quality (n = 6, 26.1%) appeared across platforms with different emphases. Telegram users valued conversational depth and accuracy (“deeper information sharing through 1:1 dialogue,” “answer completeness and accuracy”), Discord users noted technical performance (“fast response time and accurate answers”), and Twitter/X users appreciated brevity (“immediate and concise responses”).

Community Dynamics (n = 2, 8.7%) reflected relational approaches: Discord users highlighted relationship building within established communities (“receiving help within an existing relationship creates goodwill”), while Telegram users emphasized intimacy formation in private conversations (“personal conversations naturally build intimacy”).

User Preference (n = 2, 8.7%) captured individual comfort with specific platforms (“personally most proficient with this platform,” “prefer personal conversations”). Agent Distinctiveness (n = 1, 4.3%) referenced differentiation from generic AI tools (“other platforms don’t seem very different from general AI”).

Common challenges identified in this exploratory feedback included balancing platform-specific communication norms with consistent brand identity, differentiating from existing AI tools, and managing user expectations for response formats. These observations suggest areas for future development.

5.2.5. Overall Marketing Potential Assessment

All 28 testers provided feedback on the agents’ marketing potential regardless of platform interaction (

Table 9. Overall ratings of the agents’ marketing potential (n = 28).

Dimension	Mean ± SD
User Engagement Induction	3.86 ± 1.01
Marketing Automation	3.82 ± 1.12
Community Formation	3.71 ± 0.81
Information Delivery Effectiveness	3.68 ± 0.94
Brand Awareness Enhancement	3.54 ± 1.14

). All dimensions scored above 3.5. User Engagement Induction (3.86 ± 1.01) and Marketing Automation (3.82 ± 1.12) received the highest ratings, while Brand Awareness Enhancement showed the lowest mean with the highest variability (3.54 ± 1.14).

5.3. Agent Behavioral Demonstrations

This section provides representative interactions from each deployed agent, illustrating the range of automated behaviors achieved during deployment.

5.3.1. Twitter/X: Agile Thought Leader

The Twitter/X agent performed its configured functionalities: posting original content, replying to mentions, retweeting relevant content, and engaging with trending topics. Figure 7 presents two representative interactions.

Figure 7a shows an example of the agent’s thought leadership posting about blockchain’s business applications. The agent posted: “Unbreakable digital ledgers are revolutionizing trust and transparency in business. Secure, verifiable records streamline operations and unlock new levels of efficiency.” This interaction illustrates the agent’s capability to generate educational content about emerging technologies while implementing strategic hashtags (#DigitalTrust #SecureData #BusinessInnovation).

Figure 7b captures the agent’s real-time market analysis capabilities. When Crypto Rover reported BlackRock’s $34.4M Bitcoin purchase as breaking news, the agent quote tweeted with strategic interpretation: “HUGE news! BlackRock’s Bitcoin buy-in is a game-changer. This isn’t just about crypto; it’s about institutional acceptance of digital assets”. This interaction demonstrates the agent’s ability to identify significant market events and provide contextual analysis beyond surface-level reactions, consistent with its thought leadership configuration and personality parameters defined in the character architecture.

5.3.2. Discord: Community Mentor

The Discord agent operated across multiple channels within the test server, configured to provide personalized guidance, answer queries, and facilitate learning discussions. Figure 8 illustrates multi-channel interactions.

Figure 8a shows an interaction from the #get-started channel, where the agent responded to a member’s request for August events with structured guidance: “I’d be delighted to share the schedule for August events! To help me find exactly what you’re looking for, could you tell me what kind of events you’re interested in?”. The agent then provided personalized course recommendations through structured intake questions about skills, career aspirations, learning preferences, and time commitments.

Figure 8b captures the agent’s educational support in the #announcement channel. When a user inquired about blockchain workshops, the agent responded with detailed options and provided further personalization when the user specified interest in “smart contracts for AI agent in trading”. The agent’s response included offering to connect the member with community specialists: “We also have a few members who specialize in this area; I can connect you with them if you’d like to have a more personalized discussion”, illustrating its configuration for facilitating peer-to-peer learning connections. The agent’s use of friendly emoji responses (😊) throughout these interactions reflects its community mentor personality parameters designed to create a welcoming learning environment.

5.3.3. Telegram: Information Concierge

The Telegram agent was configured for personalized, one-on-one communication with users, delivering course updates and responding to individual queries. Figure 9 presents representative examples of the agent’s private messaging interactions.

Figure 9a shows the agent’s structured information delivery. When a user greeted the agent with “good morning! what’s new in school today?”, the agent apologized for any previous delays and provided four organized categories of available information: course schedules and materials, upcoming events and webinars, platform rewards and earning opportunities, and community announcements and resources. When the user selected “Course schedules and materials!”, the agent followed up with a request for specific course details, illustrating its configuration for progressively narrowing user needs.

Figure 9b captures the agent’s educational support interaction. When asked for “examples of Quizzes and Assignments?”, the agent identified the context as the Token Economy course and provided examples organized by assessment type: multiple-choice quizzes for testing key concepts, short-answer questions requiring conceptual explanations, case study analysis for real-world applications, data interpretation exercises for token distribution analysis, and small group projects for collaborative system design. This interaction illustrates the agent’s capability to deliver structured curriculum information while maintaining organized communication patterns.

6. Discussion

The deployment results provide preliminary insights into automation effectiveness, character design influence, and technical implementation challenges across the three platforms.

6.1. Automation Effectiveness Across Platforms (RQ1)

The results suggest a generally positive but platform-dependent perception of the agents’ capabilities. While Marketing Automation potential was rated favorably overall (3.82, Table 9), platform-specific Future Usefulness data (Table 7) reveals a more nuanced picture. Testers who used Telegram rated its usefulness highest (4.30), closely followed by Discord (4.09), while Twitter/X received a notably lower score (3.63). This suggests that while testers recognized the general promise of automation, they rated its practical usefulness notably higher on platforms designed for direct support and community engagement (Telegram, Discord) compared to a broadcast-oriented platform like Twitter/X. The effectiveness of automation is not uniform and is likely dependent on the specific context. The technical performance patterns support this platform-dependent effectiveness. The variation in interaction volumes presented in Figure 3 (Twitter/X 78.1%, Discord 8.6%, Telegram 13.3%) reflects fundamental differences in platform architecture: Twitter/X’s broadcast monitoring model generates high interaction volumes but with superficial engagement, while Telegram’s direct messaging approach produces fewer but more focused interactions.

6.2. Character Design and User Experience (RQ2)

Platform-specific personas implemented through the seven-layer architecture received substantially different user reception across platforms. These results suggest that character design impact may depend more on platform-persona alignment rather than architectural sophistication.

The Telegram agent exemplifies successful alignment between character design and platform affordances. Among testers who selected a “most effective agent,” the majority chose Telegram (56.5%). The agent’s “Information Concierge” persona naturally fit the platform’s 1:1 messaging format, achieving the highest ratings for Conversation Quality and Future Usefulness (4.20 and 4.30, respectively, Table 7).

Qualitative analysis of open-ended responses (n = 23) revealed two key success factors: the direct messaging format enabled “deeper information sharing” without the “information pollution” from public mentions, and users’ familiarity with Telegram as a messaging app created a low barrier to entry, making interactions feel “comfortable” and natural.

In contrast, the Twitter/X agent demonstrated the challenges of platform-persona misalignment. Despite implementing a “Thought Leader” persona, the agent received the lowest ratings for Concept Clarity and Brand Alignment (3.05 and 3.37, respectively, Table 7). The behavioral demonstrations illustrate this tension: while the agent generated educational content with strategic hashtags (Figure 7a) and provided market analysis (Figure 7b), testers questioned whether Twitter/X’s format was “suitable for this agent to be reflected on.” This suggests that even well-designed characters may struggle when platform constraints conflict with intended personas.

These findings suggest that successful character implementation requires more than technical sophistication or persona differentiation. Character design impact appears fundamentally constrained by the alignment between the designed persona and the platform’s inherent communication patterns, user expectations, and interaction affordance.

6.3. Technical Challenges and Performance (RQ3)

The ElizaOS framework maintained operational capability throughout the 18-day deployment, with backend performance data revealing distinct platform-specific patterns and substantial performance heterogeneity. All platforms exhibited coefficients of variation exceeding 100%, indicating highly variable response times: Twitter/X showed the highest variability (CV = 180.0%) despite fastest median times (9.0 ms), while Telegram exhibited both slower medians (61.5 ms) and high variability (CV = 122.3%, Table 3). This variability likely stems from factors inherent to platform API interactions: variable network latency between the local deployment and platform servers, rate limiting, and concurrent request handling. Telegram’s higher median storage time and greater absolute variability (SD = 97.7 ms) suggest additional processing overhead, possibly related to platform-specific encryption or throttling mechanisms. For real-world implementations, this variability suggests the importance of timeout handling and platform-specific performance expectations.

Analysis of message length effects revealed platform-specific patterns. Discord exhibited a moderate positive correlation between message length and storage latency (R² = 0.250), while Twitter/X and Telegram showed negligible correlations (R² < 0.06, Table 4). However, the practical impact is limited: even for Discord, typical message length variations (50–300 characters) produce only 5–7 ms differences—small relative to the observed performance variability. This suggests that optimization efforts should focus on platform-specific factors and concurrent request handling rather than message length management.

The deployment also exhibited substantial day-to-day variation in interaction volumes (Table 5), with daily counts ranging from 64 to 655 total interactions across platforms. This pattern reflects the organic nature of real-world deployment, highlighting that autonomous agent deployments should accommodate unpredictable user engagement rather than assuming steady-state traffic. Visual inspection of temporal patterns (Figure 6) revealed no obvious performance degradation over the deployment period, with the system maintaining operation despite fluctuating loads.

Beyond technical characterization, these findings inform marketing deployment decisions. Our observations suggest that system design should accommodate both performance variability and unpredictable engagement patterns through timeout handling, asynchronous processing, and dynamic resource allocation that responds to fluctuating loads. Platform-specific patterns—such as Discord’s message length correlation and Telegram’s higher processing overhead—indicate that optimization strategies may need to be tailored to each platform’s technical constraints rather than applying generic solutions across channels.

6.4. The Discord Paradox: Quality vs. Preference

The deployment showed a notable discrepancy between quality ratings and user preference for the Discord agent—what we term the “Discord Paradox.” Discord had the lowest engagement rate (42.9%, Table 6) and prior platform experience (28.6%) among testers. Yet users who did engage gave it high performance scores (4.05) comparable to Telegram’s top ratings (4.06), as shown in Table 7. Despite these quality ratings, Discord received the lowest preference rate, with only 8.7% of testers selecting it as most effective.

This paradox appears linked to platform accessibility barriers. The low prior platform experience (28.6%) coinciding with low engagement suggests possible familiarity bias—where Discord’s low preference rate (8.7%) may reflect platform accessibility barriers rather than agent quality differences. Unfamiliarity with Discord’s interface likely prevented many testers from discovering the agent’s capabilities. Even among those who overcame this initial barrier and rated the agent highly, Discord’s specialized server-based structure may have limited its appeal for general marketing purposes. In contrast, Telegram’s 75.0% prior experience translated to 71.4% engagement (Table 6) and majority preference (56.5%), with its familiar messaging interface valued for “convenience” and “1:1 dialogue” format.

These findings suggest a crucial distinction between quality ratings and practical utility. Users who engaged with Discord rated it highly, but the majority selected Telegram’s accessibility or Twitter/X’s reach as more “effective” for social media marketing goals. This highlights a key deployment challenge: high-quality agents may fail to demonstrate value if platform barriers prevent user engagement. While this observation is constrained by our small, self-selected sample, it suggests that platform accessibility may be more influential than agent quality in determining adoption success.

7. Conclusions

This proof-of-concept study investigated the deployment and effectiveness of autonomous, persona-driven AI agents across diverse social media platforms. The 18-day deployment demonstrated the initial feasibility of the ElizaOS framework’s architectural approach while revealing that successful implementation involves complex interplay among agent design, platform dynamics, and user context.

Regarding our research questions, the study yielded three key findings. First, automation effectiveness (RQ1) proved platform-dependent: while all platforms showed technical capability, testers rated usefulness notably higher for direct support platforms (Telegram, Discord) than for broadcast-oriented Twitter/X. Second, character design influence (RQ2) was overshadowed by platform constraints: despite implementing platform-specific personas through our seven-layer architecture, platform affordances and inherent communication patterns appeared more influential than character design sophistication in determining user experience. Third, technical performance (RQ3) revealed platform-specific patterns with substantial variability across all platforms (CV > 100%) and fluctuating interaction volumes (64–655 daily interactions). Message length showed limited correlation with storage latency, with high residual variance indicating that other factors—likely including platform API interactions and concurrent request handling—account for the majority of performance variation. These platform-specific patterns suggest that effective optimization may require tailored approaches rather than uniform solutions across channels.

Beyond these primary findings, an additional pattern emerged that warrants attention: the “Discord Paradox”—where high quality ratings did not translate to user preference, suggesting possible familiarity bias due to platform accessibility barriers and specialized interface design. This pattern illustrates a crucial distinction between an agent’s technical quality and its practical utility for specific marketing goals. The relationship between prior platform experience and engagement rates across all platforms indicates that user familiarity may be as important as agent performance in determining adoption success.

The study’s limitations reflect its exploratory nature: an 18-day deployment period, small convenience sample (n = 28), self-reported interaction data, and single organizational context. While we implemented a seven-layer character architecture, we did not measure individual layer contributions or interaction effects—distinguishing each component’s necessity requires further controlled experiment. Additionally, the absence of baseline comparisons prevents definitive conclusions about agent effectiveness relative to human-managed accounts, and our implementation focused on core messaging capabilities including content posting and user interaction, leaving advanced ElizaOS features such as token-gated and smart contract functionalities unexplored.

Subsequent research should investigate these initial patterns through controlled experiments with larger, representative samples. Systematic ablation studies should examine the individual and combined effects of each architectural layer, potentially revealing which components are essential versus supplementary for effective agent behavior [165,166,167]. Technical enhancements should focus on integrating Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for dynamic knowledge grounding [168,169,170] and evolving toward multi-agent systems with inter-agent coordination for cross-platform marketing orchestration [171,172,173,174,175]. Building on ElizaOS’s Web3 capabilities, development could explore enhanced crypto consensus mechanisms for decentralized agent coordination and verified community governance at scale [176,177,178,179], while enabling new models for token-based community engagement [13,180].

This exploratory study indicates that while multi-platform agent deployment is technically achievable, the systematic heterogeneity observed across platforms suggests limitations in universal deployment approaches. The findings—from platform-dependent effectiveness (RQ1-RQ2) to technical performance variability (RQ3) to the Discord Paradox—point toward a consistent pattern: platform-specific optimization appears more important than architectural sophistication alone. These initial findings suggest that multi-platform agent deployments may require a portfolio of specialized agents, each adapted to the distinct technical constraints, user expectations, and interaction patterns of its target platform.
