Entrepreneur Terry Igharoro has launched WenBuidl, an AI-powered business automation platform built on the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP), with a challenge to the ICP community to turn service business ideas into working operations.
The platform is designed to let users start a service business through a chat interface, with AI handling parts of the planning and day-to-day operation. WenBuidl says users can begin without charge, receiving a business blueprint, a landing page and suggested experiments aimed at testing and developing the idea before deciding whether to activate the automated operations.
Once activated, Buidlr, the platform’s AI operator, can handle tasks such as customer replies, follow-ups, offers and payments. WenBuidl says five AI agents can be put to work once a business is activated.
The platform is aimed at a broad range of service businesses, including local services, lead generation, WhatsApp-based businesses, global service operators and digital offers. Its website currently lists examples including ShiftIQ, Thrive Funding and The Funding Lab as businesses created through the platform.
Payments are a central part of the model. WenBuidl allows operators to accept USDT payments, with the company stating that users do not need a traditional bank account to receive payments through its USDT rails. Fiat payments are supported as well, although the platform says they carry higher platform fees.
The payment approach reflects a wider push towards making digital services accessible across borders. However, the practical benefits will depend on factors such as local regulations, payment availability and how customers choose to pay.
WenBuidl’s connection to ICP gives it access to infrastructure that supports applications running through canisters, the network’s application units. ICP also provides cross-network capabilities through its Chain Fusion technology, which allows applications to interact with external networks and assets.
The platform is also connected to BNB Smart Chain for USDT payments, according to Igharoro’s announcement. BNB Smart Chain is an EVM-compatible network, allowing developers to use tooling and smart contract technologies familiar from the wider EVM environment.
WenBuidl’s business model moves beyond its free initial setup. Users can choose paid subscriptions based on the number of monthly credits available. The Starter plan is listed at US$2.99 per month for 250 credits, while the Operator plan costs US$19 for 2,000 credits and the Builder plan costs US$79 for 10,000 credits. Additional credits can also be purchased separately.
The platform is also promoting a points programme for users, with WEN Points being earned through activity ahead of a planned WENBD airdrop. Details of eligibility, allocation and timing for any future distribution would need to be assessed against official announcements as the programme develops.
For Igharoro, the broader proposition is to reduce the amount of technical and operational work required to test a service business. Instead of starting with a website, separate automation tools and a range of business systems, users are asked to describe an idea in chat and allow the platform to turn that description into a proposed business structure.
That approach reflects a growing interest in AI agents that can move beyond answering questions and take on defined operational tasks. The challenge for platforms such as WenBuidl will be ensuring that automated systems can handle real customer interactions reliably while giving business owners enough control over decisions, payments and customer data.
WenBuidl is now inviting users to choose a service business idea and test the platform, positioning the process as a way to move from an initial concept to an operating business without requiring a traditional team at the outset.
