Summary:
Canu is going through a technological shift of focus and is seeking to continue the research and development of discord native bots for communities within JB and the like. Canu’s existing bot offers include gm bot, govbot, canuhelper, metabot, soon to be introbot, and a plethora of other bots currently in our pipeline.
How have you contributed to the DAO?
• Currently developing AutoGov and Canuhelper update to incorporate JB V2 data stack.
• Developed and maintains gov bot, gm bot, canuhelper for the JB discord server
• Work closely with key JB admins on understanding bot usage, pain point, and improvement suggestions.
• User research and ideation lead to the creation of Nance - which is now spun off into its own project outside of Canu.
Additional Information
What is Autogov?
Autogov is Canu’s newest project to develop a one-stop-shop for everything governance. From source of truth to voting and executing. Everything will be done through AutoGov. Either via our web-interface or discord.
AutoGov presents some significant technical challenges and usability risk, and Canu will need full cooperation with JB to fully realize its vision.
What is CanuHelper
CanuHelper is the helper for JB projects. Get all of your JuiceBox data directly on discord, all the info from your treasury, your cycle data as well as getting alerts for payments, redeems and distributions! Great to help your community keep up with your treasury.
CanuHelper is ongoing upgrades to interact with JB V2.
How do you want to contribute to the DAO going forward**?**
• Continue the development of AutoGov and improving Canuhelper functionality, which includes a Canu dashboard and V2 incorporation.
• Update existing bot infrastructure (particularly gm bot and canuhelper) to reduce downtime and potential bugs.
• Introducing more technical bots such as Github bot per suggestion of Aeolien.
• Increase Canu’s activity in bot ideation, design, prototyping, and productization
• Continue to work closely with JB to receive feedbacks from the community on bots and tools
• Provide technical models and prototypes for JB to try out and gauge product interest
• Work closely with JB projects in providing technical support and development on bots and tools
What does success look like for someone taking on your role?
• We want to help reduce the operational pain points of navigating between discord and the large amount of different websites.
• We want to minimize the friction within discord servers and reduce existing churn through the integration of automated bots and tools that can uplift the community experience.
• JB can focus on growing its protocol and community while not worry about the increase amount of administrative and operation overhead caused by the technical difficulties - Canu will help mitigate that.
• When you no longer need to scroll up to find the needed comments, click on 5 links just to get to the correct call out, and know exactly what is going on which ever channel you go to.
• JB entrust Canu with discord-native bot development and its maintenance.
• Other JB curated DAOs and projects can enjoy the freeware offered by Canu.
Under what criteria should the community reassess this payout?
• When the communication between Canu and JB reduces, when Canu slowed down its product updates. And when @LazerVike decided to hang the cleats.
Timeline:
Proposal: June 16th
All time: Canu product improvement for JB and JB Projects - working closely with JB to understand UX throughout JB, regardless of seniority. Improve Canu products based on feedbacks and provide general counsel in Canu - JB development interactions.
Phase 1: Delivery of CanuHelper V2 integration
Phase 2: AutoGov MVP
Phase 3: AutoGov integration and improvement
Expiration: September 24nd
This Proposal will last from FC#25 to FC#31.
Risks:
The risks are not respecting the ETH. Over-payment for a service someone else could do better for less. Payout for unnecessary human capital
