Telegram/iMessage AI Code Assistant

Developers don't want another app just to access AI coding tools. Lark bridges this gap by connecting Codex-style AI capabilities directly through Telegram or iMessage, letting users manage code from apps they already use.

Developers already live in messaging apps, and the explosion of Claude, GPT-4, and Gemini APIs has made it trivially cheap to wrap AI coding capabilities into a bot — the tooling friction that would have killed this two years ago is largely gone. The closest substitutes are Telegram bots like `@SourceCodeBot` or various GPT wrappers, plus GitHub Copilot Chat in the IDE, which is the real incumbent developers reach for when they want in-context code help. The $500–2k/mo revenue band is realistic but ceiling-revealing — it implies a small hobbyist user base paying maybe $5–10/mo, which means hundreds of paying users just to hit the low end, and the math gets hard fast without a clear expansion motion. The biggest risk is that iMessage severely limits bot integrations on Apple's closed platform, making half the product name essentially vaporware, and Telegram power users are notoriously price-resistant.
