Murror
Hey Merit, congrats on building AVA! I'm working on something in a similar space, an app called Murror that helps young people understand their emotions and build real connections to fight loneliness. So this hit close to home.
The mental wellness + AI space feels really important right now, especially for younger generations who are really struggling with isolation. Would love to stay in touch and see how AVA develops. What's your approach to the emotional safety side of it?
@astrovinh Thank you so much, we're fighting the same battle from different angles AVA's whole thing is making people feel safe to be honest about how they're feeling. No clinical coldness, no robotic responses. Just a calm, warm presence that says "hey, I hear you" at 2am when everything feels heavy
Anxiety, isolation, that background hum of dread AVA sits with you in that, helps you track it, understand it, and when things get real, points you to actual humans who can help.
The humor helps too because sometimes you just need someone to make you smile before you can open up
And yes AVA + Murror could be something special. You're tackling loneliness, we're tackling emotional safety. Those two problems live in the same house
Would love to explore a partnership.
