# Phase 1: Research & Development

1. **Market Analysis:** Conduct a comprehensive study of the AI market to determine the most suitable development strategy for <mark style="color:purple;">NadsAI</mark>. Include an analysis of direct competitors in the evaluation.
2. **NavyAI integration:** Once the main architecture is complete, we need to integrate with NavyAI to leverage their Nav3 as our primary backed LLM model and utilize their extensive datasets.
3. **Product Demand Analysis:** Conduct surveys, interviews, and collect feedback from both the web3 community and beyond to identify the key needs and pain points of AI developers, researchers, and organizations.
4. **Partnership Exploration:** Identify **data supply entities** such as decentralized AI layers and data providers, as well as DAO and community partners for user education in preparation for the later phases of testing and product feedback. Additionally, explore opportunities for other types of mutual support.
5. **Risks & Challenges Mitigation:** In-depth circular study <mark style="color:purple;">NadsAI</mark> architecture to perform patching on any detected existing issues.
