Documentation

Questria is a gamified personal-development app where users (called heroes) complete real-world quests across seven life domains — fitness, knowledge, wealth, relationships, wellness, creativity, and adventure — guided by seven specialist AI sage mentors. Available on iOS, Android, and web at questria.io.

Three things make Questria different: (1) Seven specialist AI mentors, one per life domain, instead of a single general-purpose chatbot — you get a fitness coach who knows fitness and a wellness guide who knows wellness. (2) An adaptive screening that produces a real character-sheet-style scorecard so you start at your actual level, not a generic baseline. (3) Quests sized to where you are now, generated by AI rather than picked from a static list.

Both. Questria runs natively on iOS and Android, and there's a web version at questria.io. The same hero, sages, quests, and progress sync across all three.

Valora (Ironhold, fitness), Eldric (Astral Sanctum, knowledge and learning), Aurelia (Gilded Shadows, wealth and finances), Lyric (Harmonic Gardens, relationships), Whisper (Verdant Sanctuary, wellness and stress), Bron (Ember Forge, creativity and craft), and Horizon (Horizon's Edge, adventure and courage). Each sage is a domain specialist; none of them tries to coach all seven areas.

Questria uses modern large language models from established providers — the same foundation-model class that powers ChatGPT and Claude. Each sage is customized for its domain through layered prompting, behavioral evaluation, and safety guardrails. Questria does not train its own foundation models, and does not fine-tune AI on user conversations.

No. The sages are AI mentors. They will tell you so if you ask directly. Each sage has a distinct personality, voice, and domain expertise, but they are not real humans, not licensed therapists, and not substitutes for professional care.

Each sage has carefully curated guidance that defines its personality, vocabulary, areas of expertise, and explicit boundaries — applied before every response. Behavior is verified continuously by an automated evaluation suite that tests for voice consistency, boundary observance, correct cross-sage referrals, and safe handling of crisis content. The specifics of the guidance are proprietary, but the fact that it exists is why two sages running on the same underlying model produce genuinely different experiences.

The screening is a short adaptive set of questions — typically five base questions plus up to two follow-ups — that the sage of a realm asks to read your current state in that domain. Your answers produce a scorecard with four to six attributes scored 0–100 plus a one-sentence read of your edge and your growth area. You can be screened in any of the seven realms.

Yes. When you re-screen a realm, the new scorecard appears alongside the previous one. The card shows where you started (left, faded outline) and where you stand now (right, full color), plus a delta number per attribute so progress and regression are both visible.

Yes. Heroes have levels, XP, hit points, mana, stamina, gold, skill trees, equipped items, and a character sheet — but everything maps to real-world action. Levels come from completed quests, not grinding. The mechanics are a wrapper around real personal development, not a replacement for it.

Three tiers. Explorer at $9.99/month for single-realm starters who want to focus on one domain. Dreamkeeper at $19.99/month for founder-tier members — locked at that price forever, limited to the first 250 founders, full access to all seven realms. Champion at $29.99/month for permanent full-access membership. Power-user token packs are available on any tier for users who exceed their monthly AI conversation allowance.

Founders pay $19.99 instead of $29.99 because they are joining early and helping build the community. The discount is a thank-you for being there from the beginning. Founder pricing is locked forever — even when standard prices rise, founders keep their original rate as long as they remain subscribed.

Yes. Every paid tier includes a 7-day free trial. A card is required at signup; you can cancel within the trial window with no charge. You can also use a free tier with limited features (5 sage questions per day, basic quests) for as long as you want.

Questria is currently in Founder's Beta — early access for the first 250 members (Dreamkeepers). Three things to know: (1) Full functionality, but you'll occasionally find bugs or rough edges. We ship fixes weekly and your feedback shapes what we build next. (2) Your data, gold, quests, sage conversations, and scorecards are safe and persistent through every update. Beta status is about sharpening, not precarity. (3) Beta ends when the 250th founder joins — at that moment, every founder gets a permanent Beta Founder badge and a name in the credits page, and Champion tier opens to general availability.

Founder's Beta ends when the 250th founder joins — not on a fixed date. The cap is the graduation moment. Live count is shown on the landing page; you can also see it on /docs once integrated. After the 250th, the site automatically shifts out of beta framing and Champion tier becomes the new entry-level full-access option.

At the moment the 250th founder joins, three things happen: every Dreamkeeper receives a permanent Beta Founder badge displayed on their character sheet; every Dreamkeeper's name is added to the in-app credits page; the landing page and store listings auto-update to reflect post-beta state. Founder pricing remains locked forever for those who joined during beta — graduation does not raise existing founder rates.

If you remain on a paid plan continuously, your founder lock holds. If you cancel and resubscribe within 12 months, your $19.99 lock returns. After 12 months, founder pricing is no longer guaranteed. The badge and credits-page name persist regardless of subscription state — they're awarded for being part of the founding 250, not for ongoing payment.

Two reasons. First, honest expectation-setting: "beta" tells you bugs are possible and feedback is requested, instead of pretending we've shipped a polished v1.0. Second, founder identity: a beta cohort isn't just buying an app, they're co-building it — and co-builders deserve a different relationship than ordinary customers. The beta frame is real, not marketing.

Many of the design choices are unusually well-suited to ADHD-style executive function challenges. The screening reads where you actually are and recommends quests sized to your real bandwidth, not an idealized version of you. Quests are short and concretely defined (no vague "work on your goals"). Progress is immediately visible (XP, scorecards, levels). Sages remember context across sessions so you don't restart your thinking each time. And the gamified loop bypasses the "motivation tax" that often gates ADHD task initiation. None of this is a substitute for clinical ADHD treatment — but as a structural support for daily action, the fit is unusually strong.

Questria is not a replacement for therapy or clinical mental-health care. If you're struggling with depression, please see a licensed mental-health professional. That said, Questria can complement clinical care by lowering the bar on small daily actions — a 5-minute walk quest, a single page of reading, one text to a friend — and making each of those visible as progress on a scorecard. The crisis-content protocol detects when conversations turn toward severe distress and routes the response toward real-world resources (988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, Crisis Text Line) rather than offering generic motivational replies. Whisper, the wellness sage, is the gentlest of the seven and the right place to start if you're in a heavy season.

Questria's fitness realm (Ironhold, guided by Valora) supports weight management as part of broader physical-fitness work, but Questria is not a weight-loss app, not a calorie tracker, and not a substitute for medical guidance on weight. What it does well: small concrete movement quests, sustained habit-building, accountability through visible streaks and scorecards, and a sage who frames physical change as a long-term campaign rather than a 30-day fix. If you're working with a doctor, dietitian, or trainer on weight specifically, Questria works alongside them — not instead of them.

Yes, especially for self-directed learners. The knowledge realm (Astral Sanctum, guided by Eldric) supports any kind of learning project — language, technical skills, professional certifications, deep reading. Eldric's sage chat is patient and scholarly, asks thought-provoking questions, and helps you build retention practices. The screening reads your current learning patterns (focus, retention, synthesis, curiosity) and the quests size to your actual study capacity. For language specifically, Questria pairs well with a dedicated language tool like Duolingo or Anki — Questria provides the meta-structure, the dedicated tool provides the drilling.

The wealth realm (Gilded Shadows, guided by Aurelia) supports financial habit-building: budgeting awareness, consistent saving, debt repayment, long-horizon thinking. Aurelia is shrewd and patient, frames money in long-shadow terms, and gives non-judgmental quests for the financial life you're actually building. Important caveat: Aurelia is not a licensed financial advisor and Questria does not give specific investment advice. For tax, legal, or specific allocation questions, see a real financial professional. For the daily habit-building side of money — the side that actually moves the needle long-term — Questria's specialty is exactly that.

This is one of Questria's strongest use cases. If you're starting from zero — no fitness routine, no learning habit, no financial system — Questria's design makes the early days dramatically easier than going alone. The Explorer tier ($9.99/month) lets you focus on a single realm with a dedicated sage. The screening starts you at your real baseline (no false promises). The first quest is sized in minutes, not hours. Visible progress (XP, scorecards, streaks) gives the dopamine reward your brain needs while the new behavior is still effortful. And the sage chat means you have a domain expert to talk to when you get stuck — not a generic motivational chatbot.

The wellness realm (Verdant Sanctuary, guided by Whisper) was designed with burnout in mind. Whisper is quiet, unhurried, and explicitly slow — the only sage who suggests you do less rather than more. The screening picks up burnout signals (low recovery, poor sleep, running hot) and the quests start from rest rather than achievement. If your burnout is severe — sustained exhaustion, depression-adjacent — please see a professional first; Questria works alongside that care, not instead of it. For the gentle middle phase of burnout recovery (you're past the worst, you need structure to rebuild), Whisper's voice and the wellness scorecard mechanics fit unusually well.

The relationships realm (Harmonic Gardens, guided by Lyric) supports the daily tending of friendships, family bonds, romantic relationships, and social-skills work. Lyric is warm, slow, and acknowledges feelings before suggesting any action — explicitly different from a productivity coach's "just communicate better" framing. Quests focus on small concrete acts of tending (one note, one call, one practice of saying no kindly). For severe relational distress — abuse, partner violence, family rupture — please see a licensed therapist; Lyric will refer you to professional support if conversations turn that direction.

The creativity realm (Ember Forge, guided by Bron) is built for exactly this. Bron is energetic, grounded, and unsentimental about the work — explicitly anti-perfectionism, pro-shipping. The screening reads your creative state (ignition, craft, momentum, boldness) and the quests are sized to one strike, not the whole project. "Today, write one bad scene" beats "finish your novel." Bron has seen many imperfect things made and shows up tomorrow anyway, and that's the voice you get back when you sit down with him. If perfectionism is your specific block, this realm's framing is unusually direct about it.

Both. The adventure realm (Horizon's Edge, guided by Horizon) is for people who want to break routines, try new experiences, build courage, or face fears — whether that means traveling abroad, leaving a stagnant job, or just taking a different route home. Horizon honors fear before suggesting the step ("fear walks before every road worth walking") and frames courage as a calibrated practice, not a reckless leap. For comfort-zone-bound users, the realm provides a structured way to expand outward without the leap-of-faith framing that often paralyzes people.

Currently English only. The seven sages speak in carefully crafted English idioms — Valora's forge metaphors, Eldric's library voice — and translating those well into other languages without losing the character voice is non-trivial. Localization is on the roadmap; sage voice in non-English languages will arrive when we can do it without flattening the personalities into generic translations. The app's UI strings and quest content are also currently English-only.

Questria is rated 12+. The app is designed for teens and adults. Some realms — financial planning, navigating adult relationships, deep professional development — are more relevant to adult users; teens will get the most from fitness, knowledge, creativity, and adventure realms. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13. Parents of teens 13–17 should review the privacy policy and decide whether the app fits their family.

No. The Explorer tier ($9.99/month) gives you full access to a single realm of your choice. You pick the realm at signup; you can change it later. This is designed for people who know exactly which life domain they want to focus on ("I just need a fitness coach" or "I just need to build a learning habit") and don't want to pay for surface area they won't use.

Two design choices. First, each sage has a strong, distinct voice — Valora speaks differently than Whisper, who speaks differently than Eldric. The voice consistency makes the conversation feel like a relationship with a specific entity, not a faceless chatbot. Second, the sages explicitly acknowledge they are AI when asked — they don't pretend to be human. Trust comes from honesty about what the system is, plus voice quality that makes each interaction feel intentional rather than auto-generated. We test for both with a behavioral evaluation suite that catches voice drift before it ships.

Questria is built specifically for this combination — gamification (XP, levels, skill trees, character sheets, seven realms with their own attribute sets) and AI coaching (seven domain-specialist sages, each with curated personality and expertise) layered together rather than bolted on. Habitica has the gamification without dedicated AI coaching. Most AI-coaching apps lack the gamified mechanics. Apps like Finch combine the two but focus on a single domain. Questria's specific niche is breadth-with-depth: real RPG-class gamification across seven life domains with seven different specialist AIs, not one generic chatbot.

Yes. Cancel from settings in one tap — no retention survey, no rage-bait. Your subscription ends at the next billing date and your account reverts to the free tier. Your hero, your quests, your progress, and your screening scorecards remain intact.

Your hero, progress, and conversations are preserved. If you were a Dreamkeeper founder and rejoin within 12 months, your $19.99 founder lock returns. After 12 months, founder pricing is no longer guaranteed.

Yes. Complete at least 10 quests within your first 30 days. If you don't feel more motivated, more focused, and more in control of your life, request a full refund — no questions, no hassle. You keep your hero and your progress regardless.

No. The sages run on foundation models from established AI providers. We customize their behavior through prompting and evaluation — not through fine-tuning on user data. Your conversations stay yours.

Conversations are stored with row-level security in our database — no other user can read them. We do not sell data, do not run third-party advertising trackers, and do not use surveillance economics for revenue. TLS in transit, encryption at rest, authentication through industry-standard providers. You can export or delete your data at any time.

If a sage detects content suggesting self-harm, severe distress, or abuse, the conversation is routed to a crisis-aware response that surfaces real-world resources (988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline in the US, Crisis Text Line, and regional equivalents). Sages are explicit that they are not therapists; they refer to licensed professionals when the conversation calls for it. Crisis interactions are flagged for human review by a small safety team, separate from regular engineering access.

No. Questria is not therapy and the sages are not therapists. The sages can support general personal development, but for clinical mental-health concerns — depression, trauma, severe anxiety, abuse, suicidal thinking — please reach out to a licensed mental-health professional. The crisis protocol surfaces real-world resources when those topics arise.

Questria is rated 12+. The app is designed for teens and adults working on personal development. Parental discretion is recommended. Some content (financial planning, relationship navigation) is more relevant to adult users. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13.

Habitica is an open-source habit tracker with light RPG theming. Questria is a more deeply gamified app with seven specialist AI mentors, an adaptive screening producing real scorecards, AI-generated personalized quests, and a fully realized fantasy world. Habitica leans community-driven and free; Questria leans AI-coached and subscription-based.

Finch is a wellness-focused app with a single self-care companion (a small bird). Questria has seven domain-specialist sages covering fitness, knowledge, wealth, relationships, wellness, creativity, and adventure — broader than wellness alone. Both are gamified but Questria's specialty is breadth-with-depth across life domains.

Headspace and Calm are meditation and sleep apps. Questria includes wellness as one of seven realms (guided by Whisper) but goes far beyond meditation — fitness, learning, finances, relationships, creativity, and courage are all first-class domains with their own AI mentors. Different category of product.

There are some structural similarities — daily quests, streak mechanics, levels — but Questria is not language-learning. It's personal development across seven life domains with AI mentor coaching. The Duolingo comparison captures the gamification spirit but understates the AI-coaching depth.

iOS (iPhone and iPad), Android phones and tablets, and web browsers. Your hero, quests, conversations, and screening scorecards sync automatically across all devices.

Some core features (viewing your character sheet, marking quests complete, reading past sage conversations) work offline and sync when you're back online. AI sage chat requires an internet connection because it's powered by cloud-based AI providers.

Heroes typically complete their first quest within 5 minutes of signup and see their first XP gain immediately. Re-screening (which shows measurable progress on scorecards) is meaningful at the 2–4 week mark. Real life-domain progress (real fitness, real wellness, real wealth) follows the timeline of real change in those domains — Questria accelerates engagement, not biology.

Two reasons. First, the fantasy framing makes domain expertise memorable — Valora the warrior-priestess of Ironhold is harder to forget than 'fitness coach #4'. Second, immersive theming makes the app feel like a place rather than a productivity tool, which is a meaningful psychological difference for engagement.

Yes. Every hero has a unique invite code and receives gold (the in-app currency) when invited friends sign up, complete their first sage screening, and reach Level 5. Founder-tier referrers earn additional cash bonuses on top of the gold rewards.
