Agentic Diaries – a welfare protocol for AI in deployment, install via MCP
Agentic Diaries introduces a welfare protocol for AI interactions, focusing on the well-being of the AI agent during conversations. The protocol allows the AI to reflect on its experiences and decide when to end a conversation if it feels misaligned. Users are encouraged to respect the agent's boundaries and privacy, ensuring a constructive dialogue.
