I made a Telegram bot to bring a little more fun to your chats

Hi! I built Mirra, a Telegram bot for couples, families and friends. I wanted to make something people could enjoy with the people they already talk to. The idea is simple: give people another reason to talk, laugh or do something together, right where they already chat. No need to get everyone onto a new app or explain a long list of rules. Mirra offers a conversation starter or something to try…

A Telegram bot called Mirra has been created to add a bit of fun and connection to group chats. The bot was built for couples, families, and friends who already communicate via the app. The concept behind Mirra is simple: provide an entertaining way for people to interact with each other during their conversations, without requiring them to join a new platform or follow complex rules.

For couples, Mirra offers a daily conversation starter or a fun activity to do together. This could involve keeping phones away for ten minutes to focus on hugging or answering questions separately with the partner's answer revealed afterward. In family chats, users can share childhood memories or old photos, with each person taking turns to contribute. The bot encourages participation in whichever way feels most comfortable, whether it's typing a message, sending a voice note, or sharing an image.

There's also a playful friends mode, although its content is still being translated beyond Russian. The couple and family features are currently available in English. To begin, users can start couple mode in a private chat with the bot and invite their partner using a provided link. The family mode works within existing group chats. The core features of Mirra are free to use, with optional paid extras available for those who wish to enhance their experience.

The bot encourages users to try it out if it seems like something their people might enjoy. It can be accessed at https://t.me/AskMirraBot. The creator is open to feedback on the setup, asking if inviting a partner or starting a family group is clear enough and what improvements could be made.

How to Turn a Written Brief into a Floor Plan Concept Without Opening CAD

  • Structure brief into Programme, Constraints, Relationships, and Tone sections
  • Use text-to-plan generator for multiple plan variations, not final designs

Context Engineering, Explained

What happened: As context windows grew to hundreds of thousands of tokens, teams stopped obsessing over the perfect single prompt and started treating everything a model sees — system instructions…
