LANS vs CommonAR

tap in. work. pay only for the rest of the day. lans is your key to coworking spaces across the city — one wallet, one tap, and every space becomes yours for the day. we're building the access layer for the city's work spaces: walk into any spot on the map like you already belong there, and pay only for the hours left in the day. that's the prorated day pass, and we're the only ones doing it. how lans works - open the map, pick your vibe: rooftop glass, plant jungle, quiet loft — every space is independent, local, and one tap away. - tap in: check-in happens in seconds. your pass and wallet settle instantly, and you're at a desk before your coffee cools. - pay for what's left of the day: arrive at 2pm, pay from 2pm. your money goes to hours you actually use. - stay flexible: one balance works everywhere. drop in today, a different neighborhood tomorrow, a different city next month. - bring your people: see where friends are locking in and cowork irl. good wifi is better with company. - instant answers: our ai assistant is one tap away, anytime. your local area network independent spaces across sf, nyc, la, miami, chicago, austin and denver with more cities dropping. lans grows every week: more spots, more vibes, more places to lock in before your next side quest. built for people who move remote workers, founders, travelers, students between classes! anyone whose office is wherever the laptop opens. keep it simple, keep your freedom (and yes: no membership, ever). there is always somewhere else to go. tap in and see. thoughts? tell us: hello@lans.app

HOW DOES IT WORK? CommonAR uses augmented reality and facial recognition to overlay profiles of fellow attendees in your immediate space. Either flip the camera inwards and "take a selfie" with someone you just met or flip it outwards and scan around. For every attendee you encounter, match data will be populated by AI using both of your profiles. This way you can steer conversations in the most meaningful direction. You also get all their provided socials in one go for manual reference and to reach out after. WHY USE US? We help you create the most productive events possible. As everyone knows, gaining footing in a new room is difficult. This becomes especially difficult at networking events where you are met with strict time constraints, a desire to build many connections, and limited social cohesion/atmosphere. Networking events need a better cold start to reach the level of efficiency attendees desire. It is currently impossible to walk away from an event with 100 meaningful contacts and why exactly you should connect with them. That's where we come in. Instead of spending 30 minutes grasping at straws for conversation starters like the weather, we get people talking about things they have in common quickly. HOW MUCH DOES IT COST? Free for hosts. Free for users. Free for everybody. We plan to stay totally free while we expand our offerings in pursuit of accelerating meaningful in-person interaction. HOW DO I GET STARTED?
