Better DAOs Need Better Bots&&### TL;DR
Fund BotFrens **18E** to add key new features to the Builder and Nouns DAO bots that make it easier to engage the community through timely calls-to-action and stay informed on DAO activity as it happens.
### About
[BotFrens](https://botfrens.com) makes it easy for DAOs to publish auctions, votes, sales, and other events to Discord, Farcaster, and Twitter. With 500+ dev hours, BotFrens has integrated Builder contracts and launched bots for DAOs such as [Builder](https://twitter.com/builder_dao_bot), [Purple](https://warpcast.com/purplebot), [Toadz](https://twitter.com/TOADDAOWTF), [XNouns](https://twitter.com/XNouns_), [BLVKHVND](https://twitter.com/blvkhvnd_bot), and many others.
Since the launch, we’ve been gathering feature suggestions from the Builder community (see below 👇. This proposal seeks funding to implement those features.
### Key Points
We are NOT asking for retro funding! We have spent over 500 dev hours integrating Builder because of our commitment to this project. This proposal seeks funding for **NEW** features suggested by the Builder / Nouns communities.
- **Why?** Our goal is to surface interesting data through fully-automated and configurable bot behaviors and increase engagement around auctions and proposals.
- **Who benefits?** All existing and future Builder and [Nounish DAOs](https://twitter.com/nouns_bot).
- **Cost:** 18Ξ (~230 developer hours + init infa setup + QA + support)
- **Timeline:** The entire project will take around 6 weeks to complete, but users will be able to use new behaviors as soon as they are available.
- **Team’s credibility:** We have a solid track record working with [Nouns DAO](https://nouns.wtf/vote/144), [Purple DAO](https://nouns.build/dao/0xa45662638e9f3bbb7a6fecb4b17853b7ba0f3a60/vote/0xd621637cac452368ba232a2447d018ffdc7eaefddd2431c8bad5a87fdb5c69bc), [Rarible DAO](https://daotimes.com/rarible-dao-to-launch-a-twitter-bot-that-displays-real-time-marketplace-info/), [Foundation marketplace](https://twitter.com/foundation_bot) and other key web3 projects. Our work is featured in [WIRED](https://www.wired.com/story/why-twitter-perfect-artists-portfolio/), [Observer](https://observer.com/2021/08/social-media-art-bots-twitter/), and [Hyperallergic](https://hyperallergic.com/799103/twitter-api-beloved-art-bots/), to name a few. We are here for the long term and our incentives are aligned with Builder’s success.
- **Path to sustainability:** BotFrens is a bootstrapped startup and our customers cover the cost of running their bots by paying ~ 0.015Ξ /month. This model puts BotFrens on a path to sustainability and incentivizes us to do the best possible work.

### Auction Settled - Context Follow up

### Treasury Activity
Real-time posts triggered by treasury deposits and withdrawals. This behavior runs automatically based on treasury activity.

```
### Improvement: Vote Reasons as Image
Users have expressed the desire to display vote reasons as images. This makes it easier to share / repost them. We are aware that [Nokry](https://twitter.com/neokry_) is working on something similar for the Builder and we will probably collaborate on a generic image service.
**Post Example - Not the final design**
**Template Config ✏️**
```
Variables: attach_image
```
### Improvement: Vote Reasons in Template
Right now vote reasons are attached automatically and we’d love to give users an option of how to configure them.
**Post Example**
```
Botfrens.eth voted FOR prop 123
Reason: Love this prop
```
**Template Config ✏️**
```
Variable: reason
```
### Improvement: Vote Formatting
Update YES / NO to FOR / AGAINST
**Post Example**
```
andreitr.eth voted AGAINST with 5 votes
botfrens.eth voted FOR with 2 votes
jacob.eth voted ABSTAIN with 1 vote
```
