# One-Click Bots for the Nouns Ecosystem
**TL;DR** Enable any Nouns-derivative to launch customizable bots in minutes, with no code.
---
**How is this different from existing bots?**
No coding required! Fully customizable bots capable of sharing full spectrum of DAO's activity - New Proposals, Votes, Auctions, Secondary Sales, Listings, Collection Analytics etc.
**Who is this for?**
Any existing or future Nounish projects.
---
Our Twitter and Discord bot would share ALL Nouns contract events, including proposals, auctions, votes, sales, and more. And with a simplified UI, any Nounish project can launch a customized bot in minutes in three easy steps:
1. **Connect the bot's social account to BotFrens**
2. **Specify Nounish contract address**
3. **Select behaviors the bot will perform**
We know that this sounds too simple, but we have the experience and tech chops to make it happen! We even built a prototype to illustrate how this will work: **YouTube Demo [https://youtu.be/2hjr5YcPGQg](https://youtu.be/2hjr5YcPGQg)**

This is [Andrei](https://twitter.com/andreitr) and [Cody](https://twitter.com/itscodybraun) and we are the founders of [BotFrens](https://botfrens.com). Over the last year we launched bots for a number of NOUNISH projects, NFT Marketplaces, hundreds of individual creators, and we are excited to build something powerful for the Nouns ecosystem ⌐◨-◨

**Simplified Technical Overview**
BotFrens listens to events emitted from a Nounish contract, saves and aggregates emitted data, applies user-defined templates, and shares content to a specified social channel.
