The problem FrensBox solves

Lens is an amazing DeSoc solution but when we are networking we still connect in telegram.

And such a conference networking almost all the time ends with nothing. Even tho you send a photo together in the Telegram chat - it does not provide you shared interests and a common ground to continue the friendship and go beyond the surface-level networking. Most of the chats die in Archive.

We built a Telegram client for Lens so that you can easily add a new friend, view their activity and get personalized AI hints to text or meet.

In the end, we are all a bit autistic here in web3. Nourishing meaningful people relationships is a hard work so decentralization and AI should help! By making everything composable and user-owned we solve the issue of the social graph ownership. Your connections are all on-chain, on Lens.

Challenges we ran into

managing the communication in the team - we actually got into a fight since we misunderstood each other. so we had to spend another hour talking about the situation.
getting the Lens handles - not all of my team mates had the Lens handle so we had to ask Nader directly
