Lens Prism

Lens Prism is a self-contained AI agent that runs as a single process: one container with one embedded database. It persists between conversations, keeps its own memory, runs heartbeat checks on a schedule, and puts work on its own calendar. The embedded database holds everything the agent knows — identity, conversation history, memory, scheduled tasks, and Slack mappings. The only dependency is an LLM provider.
