title: Noo Tools NAO

**Noo Tools NAO**

Networked Autonomous Organisms (NAO) is a vision of networks self-owning and self-governing their social graphs which are (a) deeply embedded with trust and respect, (b) continually overlapping and co-composing, and ( c) co-evolving as the network's shared relationships are collectively articulated; effectively (d) co-growing a shared commons. The most immediate impactful manifestation is establishing an expertise network cooperative as a template for further NAOs. The knowledge and respect we have for each other is valuable information, but largely inaccessible to software. By 'marking' others we trust and appreciate, the resulting and expanding collection of edges increases the value and utility of the network commons. Networks have a unique and so far largely untapped capacity for complex coordination, e.g. multi-scale resource allocation, or catalyzing movements to achieve collective action. NAOs are governed using a new legal structure, combining DAO and platform coop – the network cooperative.

NAO.is lays out the conceptual framework for Networked Autonomous Organisms.

[Climate Swarm](https://climate.noo.network/) and [Who Knows](https://whoknows.noo.network/) are instances to show some of the most compelling uses and directions.
    
    




With these tools we are capable of coordinating hyper-locally and globally, fundamentally by making our trusted and respected relationships - the subjective knowledge in our heads - accessible to software.

**Tools, functions:**
	
**[GreenCheck](https://greencheck.world/)** 
- Identity, proof of personhood
- 3FA "three-friend authentication"
- Claiming of own accounts 
- Validating others' accounts 
- Appreciating people by adding/ranking specific attributes (stigmergic 'people-marking')
	
**Network explorer** 
- Immersive, interactive 3d social graph visualizer
- Search/filter across all members' networks
	
**[Best of Now](https://bestofnow.net)** 
- Social bookmarking, sensemaking via tags for discovery, in groups

**Decision server**
- **Collective inquiry**, polling
- Tool supports 'praising' component of GreenCheck
- **Collaborative ontology/ taxonomy**
	- e.g. domains/ bioregions/ climate solutions
	- **WhoKnows** - expertise mapping
	- **WikiBudget** - 'what if' co-budgeting, optimizing resource allocation
