About

Hello, my name is Mona, and I’m a member of a startup called Murror. I found my way here naturally, simply because I’m a typical Gen Z. I’ve always been curious about psychology, mental health, and my own behavioral patterns. After going through my own mental health struggles, I spent time learning and reflecting, which led me to want to help others like myself. That’s how I discovered Murror and met its CEO, Astro Tran. After overcoming depression, he built Murror - an app that helps young people share hard-to-say stories, explore emotions, and build real connections. My goal is simple: to help make Murror successful, so the world can feel a little less lonely 💪✨

California already has a companion-chatbot law. Here is how to tell if your AI app is covered.

"Companion chatbot" sounds like a product category you would know if you were in it. The statutory definition is broader than that, and the duties are already live.

California SB 243 (Chapter 677, Statutes of 2025) took effect on 1 January 2026. If you ship anything conversational and emotional, it is worth reading the definition against your product instead of assuming it is about someone else.

Sierra and Meta's draft agent protocol: the permission model is the part to copy

On 6 October Sierra announced the Personal Agent Protocol, an open standard it is developing with Meta for how a consumer's AI agent deals with a business. On 9 October it published a first draft, called Poppy (Draft 0.1). Sierra sells customer-service agents, so read its framing as a vendor's view. The mechanics are worth learning from anyway.

A business publishes a file at /.well-known/poppy.json telling agents how to start a session and how customers sign in. The agent identifies itself and can begin as a guest, for example to check stock or a returns policy. When a task needs an account, the customer signs in on the company's own page using OAuth 2.0. Sierra's 6 October post says the customer chooses between read-only and write access. One session can span the website, the APIs (OpenAPI and MCP are named) and the company's own agent.

Your journaling app probably isn't "emotion recognition" under the EU AI Act

Everyone building anything emotional with AI reaches for the emotion recognition article. The sentence that is more likely to apply to you is in Article 50(1), and it has applied since 2 August.

When I went looking at what the EU AI Act asks of an app like Murror, I assumed the provision about emotions was the one aimed at us. It isn't, quite, and the one that is aimed at us is simpler and already live.
